I have a 2020 and love it. People may smirk when I say this, but it is overpowered and will flat out get up and go if you hammer the throttle. Very impressive powertrain. My biggest complaint is the gas mileage. It's pretty horrific, even if you drive like grandpa.

[@cbotten106]

it's not very hard to "overpower" even a well engineered FWD vehicle. Turn and stomp will induce terminal understeer. Assuming it has sufficient power, which this one does. Not much smileage in the fuel efficiency department, my RDX gets about 18.1 mpg with the same V6.

[@josephpayton9151]

Nahh i think its time for honda to give this a complete redesign. The changes are reasonable but it still looks dated even for a 2025 and the fact that there isn’t a single LED component in the taillight besides that one running light is a bit of a disappointment, considering the a base honda civic has LED’s and this is 52 grand. And yes I agree, having bo hybrid powertrain is a bit of a deal breaker considering gas prices these days and people tend to take these on long trips. But if none of that really matters to the person buying this, it’s perfect.

[@georgiaguardian4696]

Overall still the best mini-van for what mini-vans should be good at: largest space, no screaming turbo on hybrid drivetrain, and also the best design.

I remember when minivans ruled the American driveways. I myself got suck into a dodge caravan. Things were bad all over for us young dads. Finally our eldest moved into a new life as children do. The remaining off spring would enjoy the comforts of a nice sedan. And I could enjoy driving again.

[@juliehamman4485]

Not me. The kids moved out and the wife wanted to stop driving the minivan so she got a small suv. That left me with nothing to carry my mower, lumber projects, COSCO purchases, etc so, after a few years, I traded MY sedan in for a minivan and have never looked back. She still thinks I'm a nerd but understands. 🙃

Honda needs to step up their game. No LED taillights, turn signals, reverse lights for 2025? No new style steering wheel, no HUD, full digital gauge cluster for a large minivan? Come on, Honda!

[@KNRS927]

I’ll be honest, I really don’t care about full digital gauge clusters since they just add complexity and cost, and if it goes back into purchase price, I’m fine without them. Plus, a lot of the ones on the market aren’t that configurable anyways. I’m just not a fan of cutting costs there and still charging more than competitors.

[@AyatAlSharif]

Honda America cheaps out everything they possibly can for the American Customers. For example the CR-V in Europe and other region have: Led rear turn signals, Full digital gauge cluster (we get half even with the fully loaded model), Ventilated seats, heated rear seats, fog lamps, ambient lighting, Dynamic front turn signals, Panaromic sunroof and power folding mirrors. North American CR-V’s don’t have any of these features. Yet they charge the money for a similarly but well loaded Hyundai Tucson which has most of the features listed above. Honda really cheaps out for American customers and It’s kind of disappointing. I’d rather buy a rav4 which is a bit more expensive but has most of those features. The only excuse honda can give for charging so much for a super cheaped out CR-V is probably “Space” 🤡.

[@GarlandTexasSpotter2024]

@@AyatAlSharif That’s seriously what I was going to say. Why does the odyssey doesn’t have those features, but the Pilot does? Like come on.

I'd take this over the Sienna because you can have it with 8 seats in top trims and the middle row can be removed. Sienna is too compromised as a minivan. You also have to wait months and/or pay thousands over invoice.

[@johnreno8909]

you must absolutely add to the odyssey: awd. pano-roof. 360-cam. timing chain. (no timing belt get rid of it. but non-turbo. turbo v4 is not good option. v6 naturally aspirated plus plugin with extra large battery) slow-traffic follow feature. built-in vacuum cleaner must be returned to the car. light-off-roading pack option. (with high clearance and some other light-off-roading features) also needed a additional extra front and other lights females have trouble to see at night (in comparison to men this is biology thing) and vans are driven by many females.

The cargo measurements are somewhat deceptive in that with the second row folded down, you don’t get the usable space because the seats are not laying flush to provide a flat surface. Frankly, the most usable space is with the third row laying flush. So, that is what I would use when comparing storage space against the Toyota Sienna.
