The Updated 2021 Honda Odyssey: New Safety, New Styling, New Technology (Photo Gallery)

After launching as an all-new, fifth-generation Ultimate Family Vehicle for the 2018 model year, Honda is updating the Odyssey for 2021 with new styling, extra safety elements, and new technology. 

Every Honda Odyssey in the Canadian lineup now includes an even bigger suite of Honda Sensing features, a 10-speed automatic, HondaVAC, a sunroof, remote start, auto high beams, second-row Magic Seat, and a new Rear Seat Reminder. 

Honda Sensing now includes pedestrian emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, and traffic sign recognition. The new Rear Seat Reminder is fairly simple: if the rear doors were opened before you departed, you'll be reminded to check the rear seat before you leave the vehicle. (In the top-spec Touring trim, Honda's innovative CabinWatch rear-seat camera system more deeply integrates the new Rear Seat Reminder.)

The 2021 Honda Odyssey lineup now kicks off with the Odyssey EX-RES. RES stands for rear entertainment system. Standard equipment on the EX-RES includes:

• 7-speaker audio

• Heated/powered (12-way driver, 4-way passenger) front seats

• Integrated second and third-row sunshades

• Tri-zone automatic climate control

• Remote start

• Apple CarPlay/Android Auto

• Dual power sliding doors

• Auto high beams

• LaneWatch blind spot display

The 2021 Honda Odyssey EX-L Navi is the next move up the ladder. The Odyssey EX-L Navi removes the rear entertainment system and adds navigation plus a bundle of other features:

• Leather seating

• Front passenger power lumbar support

• Heated steering wheel

• Memory settings for power driver's seat

• Power tailgate

• Front/rear parking sensors

The 2021 Honda Odyssey EX-L RES is a partner trim level for the EX-L Navi, replacing the navigation system with the rear entertainment system and adding:

• third row sunshades
