What does the Honda Odyssey minivan offer Panama City families?

The Honda Odyssey gives Panama City families a three-row minivan they can buy new, finance, test drive and service at one local store, Group 1 Honda Panama City, the city’s only Honda franchise at 3601 E 15th St. Seating, cargo, mpg and price by trim come from Honda’s own published figures.

A family buying a minivan usually weighs seats, cargo, safety, fuel and price before anything else. Each of those has a published Honda figure behind it, so a Bay County buyer can check the numbers before a visit.

Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Panama City. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.

Is the Honda Odyssey a good minivan for a Panama City family?

Yes. The Odyssey seats eight on every trim Honda lists, and the EX-L starts at $42,795. Honda’s EPA certified figures for the base gasoline front-wheel-drive model are 19 miles per gallon city, 28 highway and 22 combined. Three rows matter most when a family has kids, grandparents or a full carpool to move. Group 1 Honda Panama City sells the Odyssey new at 3601 E 15th St.

How many passengers and how much cargo does the Honda Odyssey hold?

The Odyssey seats a family in three rows, and Honda publishes the seating count by trim plus the cargo volume behind each row. Honda lists eight seats on the EX-L, Sport, Touring and Elite. On the EX-L, Sport and Touring, legroom is 40.9 inches in the first two rows and 38.1 inches in the third, according to Honda’s published 2026 specifications.

Honda’s cargo figures are 140.7 cubic feet behind the first row, 86.6 behind the second and 32.8 behind the third. The maximum is 155.8 cubic feet on the EX-L and Sport and 155.7 on the Touring. The third-row figure matters most when all three rows carry people, because that is the space left for bags.

What does each Honda Odyssey trim cost and add?

Honda’s published 2026 starting prices run from $42,795 for the EX-L to $51,695 for the Elite. The Sport starts at $43,895 and the Touring at $47,495. Each step up adds to the trim below it.

The Sport adds leather-trimmed seats with red stitching, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, red ambient LED lighting and 19-inch gloss-black alloy wheels (Honda Info Center, 2026). The Touring adds Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation with voice recognition, a 12.8-inch rear entertainment screen, multi-zone audio, a Wi-Fi hotspot and a CabinWatch rear seat monitor (Honda Info Center, 2026). The Elite adds a hands-free power liftgate, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a 500-watt premium audio system with 11 speakers (Honda Info Center, 2026).

A family that wants rear-seat screens and a rear monitor will look at the Touring. A family that wants heated, ventilated front seats and a hands-free liftgate will look at the Elite.

What safety features come standard on the Honda Odyssey?

Honda’s own page says, “A Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies is standard on all Odyssey trims.” The suite includes collision mitigation braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, blind spot information with cross traffic monitor, and auto high-beam headlights.

Parking sensors, front and rear, are a Honda Sensing feature available on select trims only (Honda Info Center, 2026). Edmunds reports NHTSA’s overall rating for the 2026 Odyssey at 5 out of 5 stars (Edmunds, 2026). The same report gives 5 out of 5 overall, driver and passenger in the frontal barrier crash rating (Edmunds, 2026).

What fuel economy and warranty come with a Honda Odyssey?

Honda’s EPA certified figures for the base gasoline front-wheel-drive Odyssey are 19 miles per gallon city, 28 highway and 22 combined (EPA, 2026). The combined figure blends city and highway driving, so it is the number to read first.

According to Honda’s 2026 warranty booklet, basic coverage runs 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Corrosion coverage runs 5 years with no mileage limit. Powertrain coverage is the term a family relies on most, and it runs longer than basic coverage.

Should a Panama City family buy a new or certified pre-owned Honda Odyssey?

Buy new if you want the newest model year and the full factory warranty from the first day.

Honda’s HondaTrue Certified terms cover 2021 to 2026 Hondas with under 80,000 miles, after a 182-point inspection. Those terms extend powertrain coverage to 7 years or 100,000 miles (American Honda Motor Co., 2026). For a family that wants the longest powertrain term on a used minivan, a certified Odyssey inside those limits is the stronger choice.

Where can Panama City families service a Honda Odyssey?

Group 1 Honda Panama City, at 3601 E 15th St, is the Honda franchise in Panama City where a family can service an Odyssey. It is the same store that sells and finances the minivan.

Parts can be requested online.

She is very personable and thorough explaining all that was done. I will definitely ask for her again!” That is one customer’s account of one visit.
