The 2014 Honda Odyssey offers all that, plus a host of safety accolades. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has given it a Top Safety Pick yet again.

For 2014, you’ll find several enhanced safety features, and some new features that are standard: six-speed automatic transmission and Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, 4-way power front passenger seat, expanded view driver’s mirror, and one-touch turn signals for starters. LaneWatch blind spot display, forward collision warning and lane departure warning are available on some trims as standard, and as options on others.
The vehicles also still have class-leading fuel economy with a peppy 3.5-liter, 24-valve V-6 engine.
Honda Odyssey’s are available in five models, starting with the base LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and Touring Elite, each offering a combination of features, luxury and in-vehicle entertainment options.
Standard features on all models include air conditioning with front and rear controls, power driver’s seat, power windows with auto up/down feature, tilt and telescoping steering wheel.

Move up to the trim levels and you get push button start, center storage console, a conversation mirror and standard power sliding doors, which are a real convenience when your arms are loaded. Then you can add leather seating and heated front seats, rear view mirror, a cool box, XM Radio, and a power tail gate. Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System, driver’s seat with two-position memory, fog lights, parking sensors, and a rear entertainment system with nine-inch screen display are also available.

There’s a ton of legroom in the Odyssey, not only for second row passengers, but also for the third row. With that third row of seats in the “up” position, you still have a very generously sized rear cargo area, and if those seats are folded flat, the cargo area is huge.
Face it, families. Life is just a little easier when you and the tribe are trundling around town in a minivan. Might as well as trundle in one that has all the bells and whistles of a 2014 Honda Odyessy.
