2027 Honda Odyssey: What's New, Trims, Specs & Features
The 2027 Honda Odyssey delivers 280 hp and now includes CabinTalk in-car PA standard on every trim. That is a meaningful step up from prior trim-restricted feature bundling. Read on for a full trim breakdown, specs, and current inventory at Fowler Honda.
What's New for 2027
The headline change for 2027 is broader standard content across all trims. CabinTalk, the in-car PA system that lets the driver speak to rear passengers through the audio system without turning around, is now standard on every Odyssey, including the entry EX-L. Previously it was limited to upper trims.
Power Tailgate with Programmable Height is also now standard across all trims, a feature that was previously reserved for higher trim levels. The Sport-L trim joins the lineup as a new option between the EX-L and Touring, adding 19-inch Gloss Black alloy wheels and third-row USB-C charging ports as distinct inclusions at its price point.
Wireless Android Auto now integrates Google Gemini, giving rear-seat-bound families hands-free AI assistant access through the 9-inch touchscreen. Heated front seats come standard on all trims for 2027, including the base EX-L, adding everyday comfort that once required a trim upgrade.
The 12-way power driver's seat with two-position memory and 4-way power lumbar is standard across the lineup. These updates collectively make the 2027 Odyssey meaningfully better-equipped at every entry point.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 Odyssey is offered in four trims: EX-L, Sport-L, Touring, and Elite.
EX-L
is the starting point and now includes a long list of features that previously required a higher trim. Standard content includes the 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with Google Gemini, CabinTalk, Power Tailgate with Programmable Height, heated front seats, 12-way power driver's seat with memory, wireless phone charger, tri-zone automatic climate control, one-touch power moonroof, Magic Slide 2nd-row seats, and the full Honda Sensing suite. The EX-L rides on 18-inch machine-finished alloy wheels.
Sport-L
adds 19-inch Gloss Black alloy wheels and third-row USB-C charging ports (two ports), distinguishing it visually and practically from the EX-L. Families who regularly fill all three rows will find the Sport-L's third-row charging capability worthwhile.
Touring
adds the 12.8-inch Advanced Rear Entertainment System, CabinWatch rear-seat monitor, Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, HondaLink Connected Services, parking sensors (4 front and 4 rear), third-row integrated sunshades, and rain-sensing wipers. It rides on 19-inch Gray alloy wheels.
Elite
is the fully loaded tier. It adds the 500-watt 11-speaker premium audio system, ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, hands-free access power tailgate, auto-dimming side mirrors, power folding side mirrors, perforated leather-trimmed seats with piping, blue and red ambient lighting options, and a third-row triple USB-C charging port configuration (three ports versus two on lower trims).
Performance & Powertrain
Every 2027 Odyssey uses a single powertrain: a 3.5L V6 i-VTEC direct-injected engine producing 280 hp at 6,000 rpm and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm. The engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission featuring shift-by-wire and paddle shifters. Drivetrain is front-wheel drive across all trims.
Fuel economy comes in at 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined on regular unleaded. The fuel tank holds 19.5 gallons. Towing capacity is rated at 3,500 lbs.
The engine includes Variable Cylinder Management, which deactivates cylinders under light load to improve efficiency, and Honda's Eco Assist system. An Active Control Engine Mount System reduces NVX vibration at the firewall. Honda quotes a tune-up interval of approximately 100,000 miles, and the Honda Maintenance Program covers 1 year or 12,000 miles.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The Odyssey seats eight across three rows. Interior measurements stay consistent across all trims: front-row legroom of 40.9 inches, second-row legroom of 40.9 inches, and third-row legroom of 38.1 inches. Headroom measures 38.7 inches up front, 39.2 inches in the second row, and 38.3 inches in the third row.
Cargo behind the third row starts at 32.8 cubic feet and maxes at 38.6 cubic feet with the seat slid forward. Behind the second row, cargo expands to 86.6 cubic feet standard. With all rear rows folded, maximum cargo volume reaches 155.8 cubic feet.
Magic Slide 2nd-Row Seats allow lateral movement and include armrests and a walk-in feature for easier third-row access. The third row folds in a one-motion 60/40 split Magic Seat configuration. A rear storage well, cargo area bag hooks, and a cargo area light are standard.
The tri-zone automatic climate control includes second-row controls, humidity control, and air filtration. Rear-seat heater ducts channel warm air to second and third-row passengers. Acoustic laminate glass is used on the windshield, front doors, and rear doors on upper trims, reducing cabin road noise measurably.
The EX-L and Sport-L include Honda Tex-trimmed seats. Touring receives leather-trimmed seats with piping, and the Elite gets perforated leather-trimmed seats with piping.
Technology & Infotainment
All 2027 Odyssey trims include a 9-inch color touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto with Google Gemini. The driver-facing display is a 7-inch TFT digital meter cluster. Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, Bluetooth streaming audio, SiriusXM, HD Radio, and a USB-A port are standard.
First-row USB-C charging (3.0A) and dual second-row USB-C charging ports (3.0A each) are standard on all trims. The Sport-L and above add two USB-C ports in the third row. The Elite gains a third USB-C port at the third row for a total of three.
CabinTalk (the in-car PA system) is now standard across all four trims. The Touring and Elite add CabinWatch, which displays a live feed of the rear cabin on the touchscreen so the driver can monitor passengers without a conversation mirror. The Touring and Elite also include the 12.8-inch Advanced Rear Entertainment System with HDMI interface, a headphone jack, and a 115-volt/150-watt power outlet up front.
Navigation, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and HondaLink Connected Services are standard on Touring and Elite. The Elite upgrades the audio system to a 500-watt, 11-speaker premium setup with subwoofer, replacing the standard 160-watt, 7-speaker system found on EX-L and Sport-L.
Active Noise Cancellation is standard on Touring and Elite, further reducing road and wind noise in the cabin.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Honda Sensing is standard on every 2027 Odyssey trim. The suite includes Collision Mitigation Braking System with Advanced Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Road Departure Mitigation System, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist System, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Traffic Sign Recognition, Blind Spot Information System, and Cross Traffic Monitor.
Auto High-Beam Headlights are standard across all trims. Parking sensors (4 front and 4 rear) are standard on Touring and Elite.
The rearview camera includes dynamic guidelines. Side-view cameras and a top-view surround camera assist with low-speed maneuvering. A Rear Seat Reminder (RSR) alerts the driver to check the rear seat before exiting, a critical safety feature for families with young children.
Additional safety structure includes Honda's ACE (Advanced Compatibility Engineering) body design, advanced front airbags, SmartVent front side airbags, three-row side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, and driver and front passenger knee airbags. The LATCH system provides lower anchors in all second-row positions and outboard third-row positions, with tether anchors at all second and third-row positions.
Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, ABS, Electronic Brake Distribution, Brake Assist, Hill Start Assist, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System with location and pressure indicators round out the safety package.
Who It's For and How It Compares to the Prior Year
The 2027 Odyssey is built for families who want a genuine eight-passenger vehicle with real cargo volume, a proven V6, and technology that does not require the top trim to be functional. The standard-across-the-board additions for 2027 (CabinTalk, Power Tailgate, heated front seats, 12-way driver's seat) represent upgrades that previous buyers had to pay up to access.
Shoppers coming from a 2026 Odyssey will notice the most change at the EX-L entry level. The 2027 EX-L carries features that were Touring or Elite territory in prior model years. The Sport-L is a genuinely new point of distinction, offering a blacked-out wheel look and third-row charging not available on the EX-L.
Families in Norman and across the Oklahoma City metro who need a third row and towing capacity up to 3,500 lbs will find the 2027 Odyssey well-positioned against crossover alternatives, particularly where cargo flexibility and available rear entertainment matter.
