Honda Celebrates 25 Years of Odyssey
25th Anniversary Upgrade Package

Honda is commemorating 25 years of minivan leadership with a special accessory package available on the 2020 Odyssey, arriving in dealerships beginning tomorrow. With chrome accents, special badges, and available 19-inch wheels, the 25th Anniversary package can be purchased through Honda dealers for all 2020 Odyssey trims. In addition, all 2020 Odyssey minivans now come standard with Idle Stop and Honda’s 10-speed automatic, the company’s newest and most advanced transmission. Also, a new Platinum White Pearl replaces White Diamond Pearl in the Odyssey exterior color palette.

The Honda Odyssey has been the most popular minivan with individual American car buyers since 2010, with cumulative U.S. sales exceeding 2.7 million units since its launch in 1995. Over five generations, Odyssey has set the standard for family-friendly features, space and sporty driving performance in a minivan. Odyssey was also the first to introduce minivan staples such as third-row seats that fold into the floor, the first built-in vacuum cleaner, the HondaVac, and the first in-cabin child monitoring system, Cabin Watch®.

The 25th Anniversary accessory package celebrates Odyssey’s quarter-century milestone with a chrome roof rack, body side moldings, lower door garnish, chrome rear bumper protector; illuminated sill plates with the 25th Anniversary logo; and special 25th Anniversary badges on the front fenders and tailgate, as well as a 25th anniversary key fob. Optionally available on the dealer-installed package are 19-inch wheels unique to the package.

Available in LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and Elite trims, all 2020 Honda Odysseys now come standard with Idle Stop and a 10-speed automatic transmission mated to the 280 horsepower, 3.5 liter i-VTEC™ V6 engine. Odyssey LX comes standard with push button start, two USB ports, a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, and automatic climate control.

Odyssey EX adds the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver assistive technologies, blind spot information, Honda’s Magic Slide 2nd-row seats with seating for eight, power sliding doors, and tri-zone automatic climate control with rear controls. EX-L trims add leather, one-touch power moonroof with tilt feature, power tailgate, and an additional three USB ports for a total of four, with Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System and a rear entertainment system available as well.

Touring and Elite trims get LED headlamps with auto on/off and WiperLink, HondaLink® with 4G LTE WiFi mobile hotspot capability (with subscription), front and rear parking sensors, HondaVac, CabinWatch cabin monitor, and handsfree-access power tailgate. Elite adds a heated steering wheel and rain-sensing wipers, wireless phone charging, power folding mirrors, ventilated front seats, and an upgraded premium audio system.

The 2020 Honda Odyssey for the North American market is made exclusively at Honda’s Lincoln, Alabama auto plant, alongside Pilot, Passport, and Ridgeline, using domestic and globally sourced parts. Its V6 engine is also manufactured in Alabama, with its 10-speed automatic transmission manufactured exclusively at Honda’s Tallapoosa, Georgia facility.
