Today's fifth-generation 2018 Honda Odyssey is longer, lower, wider and far more interesting than that second-gen turning-point vehicle. Honda's Odyssey has been around for 24 years, though it didn't grow to full size until the second generation debuted in 1999. Our long-term Chrysler Pacifica was easy on the eyes, and the 2018 Honda Odyssey is as attractive as it is functional and innovative. But unlike the box-on-wheels blandness that defined past minivan style, today's crop contains a couple of lookers. The logic of all this remains unchanged since minivans once ruled the family vehicle marketplace, and it's why we're always eager to have one on hand. And for young and old alike, nothing can compete with the ease of clambering in and out of the ample space offered by rear sliding doors. Minivans also offer superior third-row accommodations and an enviable reserve of cargo space when those third-row seats are upright and occupied, particularly when compared with today's SUV of choice, the car-based crossover. Minivans are more efficient, less expensive, and easier to get into than legacy truck-based behemoths such as the Chevrolet Suburban and the Ford Expedition. Would a three-row SUV have done the trick? Probably, but not as well. ![]() But taking two vehicles runs counter to the idea of family togetherness, which is why you're glad you bought a minivan like the 2018 Honda Odyssey. ![]() You've been showing them a good time and today the six of you are headed for a day at the beach, with dinner after. Your parents are visiting from out of town to spend a week with you and the grandkids.
