The 2027 Honda Odyssey: What’s New & What Matters
The Honest Take: When you have a family vehicle that consistently dominates its class, drastic reinvention isn’t necessary—smart evolution is. The 2027 Honda Odyssey focuses on streamlining the lineup into four well-appointed, high-value trim levels: EX-L, Sport-L, Touring, and Elite. Every single 2027 Odyssey comes equipped with a powerful 280-horsepower V6 engine, 10-speed automatic transmission, standard 8-passenger seating, power sliding doors, a power tailgate, and the full Honda Sensing® active safety suite. Whether you prioritize sleek blacked-out styling or rear-seat entertainment technology, the 2027 Odyssey remains the definitive choice for busy Southern Illinois families.
From its smooth, quiet highway demeanor to its unmatched interior seating flexibility, the Odyssey proves why minivans remain the ultimate family transport. At Ike Honda in Marion, IL, our team helps families across Williamson, Jackson, and surrounding counties discover how simple everyday travel can be.
Engineered for Smooth Power: 3.5L V6 & 10-Speed Automatic
While some competitors rely on complex hybrid setups or smaller turbocharged four-cylinders, the 2027 Honda Odyssey sticks with the smooth, linear acceleration of a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine. Delivering 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, this powertrain ensures confident highway merging, effortless passing power, and smooth cruising down I-57.
|
Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®) To maximize fuel economy without sacrificing power, Honda’s VCM® system automatically deactivates cylinders during steady cruising. The 2027 Odyssey earns an EPA-estimated 19 city / 28 highway / 22 combined MPG while delivering full V6 power whenever you step on the gas. |
10-Speed Automatic & Snow Mode Mated to a 10-speed shift-by-wire automatic transmission with paddle shifters, shift responses are seamless. Standard Snow Mode recalibrates throttle control and traction parameters to give drivers extra confidence during slick Southern Illinois winter mornings. |
