The new Honda Odyssey features a minor refresh at the front and rear. The new upper grille, apparently in dark chrome, is more upright and larger to hold the ‘H’ logo more firmly. The revised bumper looks sharper and has smaller portions for the side air intakes. Horizontal LED strips have replaced the round fog lamps.

On the sides, the 2018 Honda Odyssey has new alloy wheels with a more elegant design. At the rear, the ‘Odyssey’ logo is no longer on the tailgate applique between the tail lamps. Honda has placed it rather conventionally below the (left side) tail lamp. Inside, the 2018 Odyssey features new upholstery. Honda has updated the premium minivan’s Adaptive Cruise Control system to incorporate low-speed follow function.

The 4WD option is limited to the petrol model.
