The 2019 Honda Odyssey is one of the most popular minivans hitting the market this fall. In addition to its excellent standard features, there are five unique trim levels to compare on this year’s release. They are the same trims that were available on the 2018 version, and they are the LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite. If you’re looking at purchasing a new Honda Odyssey, but aren’t sure of which trim is right for you, use the guide below to aid your decision.
Base Package or Honda Odyssey LX
On the Odyssey, the LX trim serves as the base model. With many cars, safety features tend to run throughout from the base model to the most flashy. The 2019 Odyssey LX has plenty of great safety features such as braking assistance, eight airbags throughout the cabin, ventilated front disc brakes, and electronic stability control. In regards to infotainment, there are two LCD monitors mounted in the front dashboard and HondaLink smart device integration. There are seven speakers located throughout the cabin as well. There are two USB ports for device charging on the LX trim.
Honda Odyssey EX
The EX has a few upgrades over the LX trim. It includes the Honda Sensing driver assistance suite, which gives the van great features such as lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, a collision and detection mitigation system, and road departure mitigation. Another great tech feature standard on the EX and higher trims is the Smart-Entry system with walk away. This feature will automatically lock and unlock the doors as you walk away from or approach your vehicle respectively, without having to remove the key from your pocket. Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto are also available starting with this trim.
The EX-L Trim
The EX-L trim serves as the middle option in the pack. It includes the great features from the LX and EX, but adds some other exceptional ones such as leather seating and an optional upgrade for a rear entertainment system. Having that installed is perfect for keeping families entertained on long drives.
The Honda Odyssey Touring
The Touring trim includes features from the three previous trims. It also adds LED fog lamps, LED headlights, and a cabin camera system with night vision so you can check on your passengers without turning around. Front and rear parking sensors make parking the larger vehicle a walk in the park, and satellite-linked navigation will keep you on the right path on uncertain roads.
Top of the Line Odyssey Elite Trim
The final available trim level includes everything from the previous trims. Features exclusive to the 2019 Odyssey Elite include wireless phone charging stations, a premium 11-speaker audio system, ambient blue LED lighting, and 19-inch alloy wheels.
