How much a fully-loaded 2025 Honda Odyssey costs

Summary

The Honda Elysion is a China-exclusive luxury minivan with unique features and a 2.0L hybrid option.

The Odyssey has an extensive list of standard equipment and advanced safety features.

A fully optioned Odyssey Elite can cost $61,368, but purchasing every add-on isn’t practical for most buyers.

Offered alongside the seemingly depreciation-proof Honda Pilot SUV, the Honda Odyssey is the only other vehicle from this Japanese automaker available with up to eight seats. Rather than having two similar SUVs, the Odyssey is a plush minivan made for families. However, this reliable japan-made car comes at a price — especially when you tick every option box possible.

Why would you need every option possible? Well, Honda is known as a value-based brand in the US, with Acura acting as its luxury branch, but this isn’t the case globally. There’s a luxury variant of the Odyssey available exclusively in China, called the Honda Elysion. Once you see it, you’ll wish your minivan was this cool. Ticking some add-ons will get you similar features, but at what cost?

The Honda that’s more luxurious than a Toyota (and it’s not an Acura)

Honda are known for making value-based cars, but they certainly know how to make a luxury vehicle to rival premium brands.

What is the Honda Elysion?

If you’re wondering why you haven’t seen or heard of the Honda Elysion, it’s probably because it’s only available in China. Originally, the Elysion was released for the Japanese domestic market in 2004 to rival Toyota’s Alphard (another JDM vehicle), before branching out to China in 2012. Due to a lack of interest, the Elysion is no longer offered in Japan. In fact, it’s only available in China as a special collaboration with Dongfeng Motor Group.

What’s the difference between the Honda Odyssey and Elysion?

Since the Honda Elysion is based on the Honda Odyssey, there are obvious overlaps, like the size and sliding doors. For all their similarities, there are major differences. From the outset, the Elysion has bigger, flashy alloys and a huge front grille compared to the subdued styling of the Odyssey.

Inside is where the two are set apart, with the Elysion covering almost every visible panel is sumptuous leather. Captain chairs in the Elysion are very mature and create space between passengers, compared to the family-friendly openness of the Odyssey. On top of that, the Elysion gets an efficient 2.0-liter hybrid option that isn’t available on the Odyssey. It’s clear the Elysion is designed for luxury travel, while the Odyssey is a sensible MPV.

How much is a 2025 Honda Odyssey?

Prices for a 2025 Honda Odyssey start from $42,220 on a base model. Climbing the trim levels takes the starting MSRP to $51,180 for a range-topping Honda Odyssey Elite. It doesn’t stop there, though. Despite an array of standard features, the Elite trim still has a lot of checkboxes for available options. Regardless of grade, every Odyssey wields a 3.5-liter V6 engine to shift the heavy people carrier when all seats are filled.
