2026 Honda Odyssey

Discover the 2026 Honda Odyssey Near Forest City, NC

The 2026 Honda Odyssey makes the strongest case for the minivan in the current vehicle market — combining genuine three-row practicality with a 280 HP 3.5-liter V6 that gives it better highway performance than most families expect from a minivan, available seating for up to ten passengers, and the Magic Slide second-row seat system that transforms cabin configuration without tools or removed seats. For Rutherford County families with growing children, regular long-distance road trips to North Carolina's coast or mountains, or simply the need for genuine interior space without the premium pricing of full-size SUV alternatives, the 2026 Odyssey is the practical choice that doesn't feel like one. Forest City Honda is the Rutherford County community's Honda dealership — a locally staffed team serving Forest City, Rutherfordton, Shelby, Marion, Boiling Springs, and Ellenboro since 2005 with the same commitment to honest, personal service summarized in our motto: 'Big Enough To Serve You! Small Enough To Care!'

The Odyssey's second-row Magic Slide seats slide laterally across the vehicle floor, creating multiple configuration options — a wide center aisle for third-row access, a center seat island for families with car seats, or a full bench arrangement for maximum passenger count. The 2026 Odyssey receives updated technology centered on the 10.2-inch touchscreen with Google built-in on higher trims, and the available rear entertainment system keeps passengers occupied on the long hauls from Forest City to the Outer Banks that define North Carolina family road trips. The available CabinWatch camera gives front occupants a clear view of rear passengers — a practical feature for families monitoring children across three rows.

2026 Honda Odyssey Trim Levels

The 2026 Odyssey lineup spans LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite trims starting at $42,795 MSRP. The LX provides a complete entry-level family minivan with the V6, three rows, Honda Sensing, and practical feature content. The EX adds a larger display, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Magic Slide second row. The EX-L brings leather seating and premium materials. The Touring delivers rear entertainment, CabinWatch camera, and the full wireless connectivity suite. The Elite is the maximum Odyssey — 11-speaker audio, additional passenger comfort features, and the complete technology package for families who make minivan road trips a regular part of North Carolina family life.

2026 Odyssey Performance, Seating, and Technology

The 280 HP 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 gives the 2026 Odyssey more than adequate power for highway driving with a full family complement aboard — the 10-speed automatic manages gear selection smoothly and keeps the V6 in an efficient range on the long interstate runs between Forest City and eastern North Carolina destinations. The Odyssey's front-wheel drive layout contributes to the low floor height that makes third-row access far less acrobatic than in body-on-frame SUVs with high floors. Maximum cargo volume with all rows folded is among the highest in the minivan segment — a practical advantage for the storage-intensive reality of North Carolina family travel.
