Compare the 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite vs Odyssey LX

If you need a minivan, the Honda Odyssey is the one to beat. In fact, it's ranked as the best in its class by U.S. News and World Report. The Odyssey is a carryover model for 2019 and seats seven or eight passengers depending on trim. Here's what you need to know about the differences between the LX, which is the base model, and the top-of-the-line Elite trim.

Performance

All Odyssey trims are equipped with a 280-horsepower V6. However, the LX has a nine-speed automatic transmission while the Elite has been upgraded with a ten-speed automatic. This is a testament to the incredible lineage of power that the Odyssey line has commanded in previous years. If you would like to test drive either of these trims, we are always available during business hours.

Appearance

The LX has a standard liftgate while the Elite has a hands-free power liftgate for easy cargo loading. It also adds power sliding doors. Otherwise, these trims are identical to one another, at least from the outside. Additionally, the Odyssey comes with many standard features that make the Odyssey an incredible choice.

Features

Standard features in the Odyssey LX include spill-resistant upholstery (a boon for parents), push-button start, remote entry, a multi-angle rearview camera, a 5-inch display screen with wireless connectivity, dual USB ports, a seven-speaker stereo, and a power-adjustable driver's seat.

Although the LX is generously equipped for a base model in this class, the Elite is truly fully loaded. Drivers of this high-end minivan will enjoy climate controlled front seats, a heated steering wheel, an integrated vacuum, a moonroof, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather-trimmed seats, and proximity key entry.

As for tech, it comes with a premium 11-speaker stereo system, wireless charging, a wireless hotspot, remote access to your vehicle with the HondaLink app, an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, MagicSlide second row seats, and the CabinControl app which allows you to control Odyssey Elite settings from your smartphone.

Safety features include CabinWatch, which allows you to view the second and third rows on your driver information screen. The Elite trim is also equipped with parking assistance, pre-collision braking, forward collision and road departure warning, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control.
