The Honda Odyssey is the only family van equipped with a central vacuum system. For the 2015 model year, it’s still as big as ever (the Odyssey, not the vacuum) and can seat up to eight. The rear cargo space is among the most generous, ranging from 846 to 4,205 litres, depending on whether the bench seatback is lowered or not. Behind the grille there’s a tireless 3.5L variable displacement V6 with 248 horsepower and paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
