3 Ways the 2026 Honda Odyssey is Better Than an SUV

If you need a vehicle for your family, you may be adamant about not going with a minivan. However, when you examine a model like the 2026 Honda Odyssey, you will quickly see how it tops similarly-sized vehicles, including SUVs. Here, Casey Honda offers three reasons why choosing this model is a wise choice.

Ample Passenger Space

While SUVs claim to offer a lot of space for everybody, this often belies the fact that their third rows tend to be cramped; even some larger models fall short in this respect. This isn’t an issue with the 2026 Honda Odyssey, however, as all rows are spacious, and even adults won’t mind sitting in the last row. No matter where they’re sitting, each of this minivan’s passengers will have plenty of room.

Exceptional Cargo Room

The room for cargo in SUVs pales in comparison to the real estate found in the 2026 Honda Odyssey. It offers 38.6 cubic feet behind the third row, 91 cubic feet when it’s down, and a massive 155.8 cubic feet with all rear seats folded, which eclipses the maximum cargo volume of even the largest SUVs. And that space is easy to custom-configure, too, thanks to Magic Slide® second-row seats, which can fold forward or backward and even be removed.

Innovative Technology

Most new vehicles come with tech features, but the 2026 Honda Odyssey takes this to another level. While it has wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and HD and satellite radio, it also includes an intercom system so you don’t have to raise your voice to talk to rear passengers. You can even get a video monitor so you can always see what’s going on while minimizing distracted driving. In addition, your minivan can come with a rear-seat entertainment system with a 12.8-inch display.
