2024 Honda Odyssey Seating & Cargo Capacity

Minivans are known as people-movers because their long and wide bodies offer plenty of space inside to accommodate large families or carpool with friends. But modern technology and materials now allow greater convenience through removable or foldable seats. The 2024 Honda Odyssey is an excellent example of this flexibility, with seats that slide and tuck in one swift motion so you can rearrange your interior to meet your needs. Check out our overview of why we love the 2024 Honda Odyssey for its innovative seating and cargo configurations.

Odyssey’s Versatile Seating

The 2024 Honda Odyssey offers versatile seating arrangements to accommodate up to eight occupants. This remarkable capacity sets the minivan apart from its competitors, as most only offer seating for up to seven people. The Odyssey comfortably seats six adult passengers when using the second-row center seat and the third-row Magic Seat.

The Honda Odyssey’s modular seating allows you to easily customize the arrangement to fit your passenger needs. With the flexible Magic Slide second-row seating, you can adapt the row by sliding the seats toward the center or to the left or right side of the vehicle. A passenger can sit in the second-row center seat, or you can fold the seat flat for quick removal. After removing the center seat, you can adjust the second-row seats into the following configurations:

• Buddy mode: Push the second-row seats together in the center of the minivan.
• Super mode: Push the second-row seats together on either side of the vehicle for easier third-row access.
• Wide mode: Separate the two seats on opposite sides of the Odyssey to create a center aisle.

Great Cargo Space for Family Trips, Projects, and More

Are you planning your family’s next road trip? You’ll need ample space to pack a tent, sleeping bags, cooler, and extra camping gear. The adjustable cargo capacity is a huge perk to the 2024 Honda Odyssey’s interior space. Because of the modular seating elements, you can safely haul many items while still allowing space for your passengers.

Keep the second- and third-row seats upright and get up to 38.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. Convenient bag hooks on the back of the third-row Magic Seat help keep your groceries and shopping bags upright while you travel. If you desire, opt for the available cargo bins to keep your belongings organized. These bins tuck into the wheel well behind the 60/40 split rear seats. Use one bin or both to accommodate your storage needs.

Do you have a DIY home project and need to carry lots of tools and materials? The Honda Odyssey has plenty of space for all your supplies. You can confidently travel to your local hardware store knowing your minivan can haul whatever you buy.

For maximum available cargo capacity, fold down the third-row seats and remove the second-row seats to get up to 158 cubic feet of space. This gives you enough room for a 4-by-8 sheet of plywood. You can even fit a small ladder inside without leaving the liftgate open. This cargo configuration is available on non-moonroof models.

What’s a Third-Row Magic Seat?

One of the 2024 Honda Odyssey’s most exciting features is the third-row Magic Seat, an incredibly convenient yet simple technology. With a tug of the folding strap, the seat folds into the floor in one smooth motion. This foldability helps maximize floor space and gives you up to 92.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row while still allowing seating for five occupants. The third-row Magic Seat features a 60/40 split. This lets you fold down a portion of the row to provide extra space for sporting equipment, leaving a seat or two available to accommodate passengers.

Advanced Honda Odyssey Seating Features

Advanced seating features on the 2024 Honda Odyssey start at the front of the vehicle with the driver’s and front passenger’s seats. Long drives in this minivan won’t feel exhausting thanks to the 12-way power adjustment feature and four-way power lumbar support on the driver’s seat. Lock in your preferred seat settings with the available two-position memory on the Odyssey EX-L and higher trims.

An eight-way power adjustment and four-way power lumbar support are available for the front-passenger seat on the Odyssey EX-L trim level and above. Heated front seats, available on all trim levels, keep you warm and cozy in cooler weather. If you want to cool off, ventilated front seats are available on the Elite trim.

The Odyssey’s rear seats also get comfy perks like the front seats do. All three second-row seats feature a tilting seatback and adjustable forward and backward floor positioning. The second-row seats also have armrests to properly support your passengers when you travel. Both sides of the third-row Magic Seat also recline and have adjustable head restraints that extend for passenger comfort or compress into the seatback for enhanced visibility out the rear window.

Child Safety and Comfort

Honda prides the Odyssey as a family minivan, and its child safety features show that the manufacturer cares about your precious cargo. The vehicle’s rear seats provide the  important lower anchors and tethers for children (LATCH) system to secure child seats in rear- or forward-facing positions. There are three full LATCH systems on each of the second-row seats. Tether anchors are available on all three third-row seats, with lower anchors available on the outboard seats. The Odyssey’s LATCH features help maximize your options for compatible child seat installation to keep your kids safe and secure.
