The Odyssey is a minivan that drives like a car — a 3.5 L V6 sending 280 BHP to the front wheels, 8 seats and a 1,093-litre load bay behind them. In the UAE it competes as much with three-row SUVs as with other vans, and it beats most of them on space per dirham.
How much does the Honda Odyssey cost in the UAE?
Three trims on a single V6, so the ladder buys comfort rather than capability. AED 180,900 starts the 3.5L LX and AED 223,900 finishes at the 3.5L Touring. Every version carries eight people and the same engine, which means the cheapest one does the core job as well as the most expensive — the money above buys seat comfort, entertainment and convenience for the people behind you.
Which Odyssey trim is the one to buy?
The middle trim, unless the car is genuinely a family shuttle. It adds the powered doors, better second-row seating and the driver aids that make school runs less tiring, at a fraction of the top trim's premium. The Touring earns its money only if rear-seat entertainment and the full comfort suite will be used every week.
Honda Odyssey or Kia Carnival?
The Odyssey is the better car to drive and the more refined to travel in: quieter at cruising speed, better damped, and with the more flexible second-row seating of the two. The Kia Carnival is larger inside, better equipped for the money and has the longer warranty. The Toyota Sienna is the third name to check if hybrid economy is the priority.
What does a Honda Odyssey cost to run in the UAE?
The V6 is the cost. About 8.3 Km/L means fuel is the single biggest running expense, and the counterweight is that this drivetrain is famously durable. Trading Enterprises supports it from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah — worth using for the transmission service in particular, since that is the one item where a shortcut costs real money later.
Does the Honda Odyssey hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?
Close to par, at about 53% of its value after five years against roughly 55% for mainstream Japanese cars here. The Odysseys reaching CarSwitch for inspection in the UAE run to a median of around 172,000 km, high for a family car, and the V6 and transmission are built to that kind of duty — but at that distance the sliding-door mechanisms, suspension and air-conditioning are where money hides. Read the individual inspection report before you commit.
