TCC’s Bottom Line

The redesigned 2018 Honda Odyssey is exceptionally well thought out, brimming with cool tech, spacious, comfortable, and well controlled on the road. Add in plenty of safety features, and it's a smart way to carry the family.

The 2018 Kia Sedona stays the same, while its key rivals launch themselves into a new family-car era.
