Hondas make terrific family vehicles thanks to reliable performance, tons of practical features, and refined safety technology. When you’re shopping for a new family vehicle at your local Honda dealership, your top choices for a family-oriented ride are the 2025 Honda Odyssey and the 2025 Honda Pilot. Explore each of these models to see whether a minivan or an SUV suits your lifestyle best.
Both the Odyssey and the Pilot are full-size models with three rows of comfortable seating that can seat up to eight passengers. In the Odyssey, the second-row seats can slide to make access to the third-row seats more convenient for passengers. The second row also has a multi-functional center seat.
The Pilot has a 60/40 folding third-row seat and a second-row seat that can fold flat at the touch of a button. The Pilot Sport has a fixed center seat that can fold flat to make room for pass-through cargo, like hockey sticks or golf clubs.
Honda Sensing
Each of these Honda models is equipped with Honda Sensing technology to enhance on-road safety. For example, the Collision Mitigation Braking System keeps an eye on the front of the vehicle to alert you of a potential collision and may even intervene to hit the brakes to help you avoid an accident. Each model also has a Road Departure Mitigation System to track lane markers and alert you if you are driving off-center.
Each model also comes with Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, a system that adapts to the driving speed of the car ahead of you while maintaining a proper following distance. In bumper-to-bumper traffic, this system can resume travel speed after a complete stop to reduce driver fatigue in congested traffic.
Cargo Volume
The cargo volume behind the third-row seat in the base Odyssey is 32.8 cubic feet, which can expand up to 140.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. For the Pilot, the cargo area can hold 18.6 cubic feet of luggage or groceries, or you can fold down the second and third-row seats for a cargo space of 87 cubic feet.
Infotainment
The base Odyssey has a nine-inch infotainment system and a seven-inch TFT screen to track your vehicle’s performance. The base Pilot trim has twin seven-inch screens, one for the Driver Information Interface and one for the central touchscreen. Both models support connectivity with Bluetooth HandsFreeLink for sending hands-free texts and Bluetooth Streaming Audio so you can play your favorite tunes wirelessly. Compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is also standard.
The Honda Odyssey and the Honda Pilot have many similarities, so choosing the right model for your family will depend on your seat configuration settings, the amount of cargo space you need, and connectivity options. Reserve your favorite model at Honda Auto Center of Bellevue in Bellevue, WA.
