Which Honda Odyssey trim fits Panama City families, and what does each start at?
For most families in Panama City, FL, the Honda Odyssey EX-L at $42,795 is the trim to start with, because all four trims share eight seats, 280 hp, and a 3,500 lb tow rating, and the steps up in price buy equipment. The Odyssey does not fit a Panama City, FL buyer who tows more than 3,500 lbs, since no trim is rated past that.
We’re Group 1 Honda Panama City, at 3601 E 15th St, and the starting prices below are Honda’s 2026 manufacturer’s suggested prices. They are not our price on a specific vehicle.
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.
Panama City, FL families start at $42,795 with the EX-L
The EX-L is the lowest of four Odyssey trims at $42,795, and for a Panama City, FL household that needs the space and not the extras, it is the one to price first. The Sport follows at $43,895, the Touring at $47,495, and the Elite at $51,695.
| Odyssey trim | Starting MSRP | Maximum cargo | Maximum towing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honda Odyssey EX-L | $42,795 | 155.8 cu ft | 3,500 lbs |
| Honda Odyssey Sport | $43,895 | 155.8 cu ft | 3,500 lbs |
| Honda Odyssey Touring | $47,495 | 155.7 cu ft | 3,500 lbs |
| Honda Odyssey Elite | $51,695 | 155.7 cu ft | 3,500 lbs |
Look at the gaps. The Sport costs $1,100 more than the EX-L. The Touring costs $3,600 more than the Sport, and the Elite costs $4,200 more than the Touring. From the EX-L to the Elite is $8,900.
That $8,900 buys the equipment of the higher trims. It buys no extra seats, power, or towing, because those figures match across all four. A Bay County family that spends it should do so because it wants what the higher trim adds, and we’ll walk through that with you on the lot. A family that mostly wants room to move will find the EX-L already has it.
Third-row legroom of 38.1 in suits a Panama City, FL family of six
Every Odyssey trim seats eight, with 40.9 in of second-row legroom and 38.1 in in the third row, so a Panama City, FL family of five, six, or seven fits without choosing a trim for seat count. The space is the reason to shop an Odyssey at all, and it comes with the $42,795 starting trim.
Think about who sits where. Two adults up front, kids in the second row, and a grandparent or a teenager’s friend in the third row all have a real seat. The third row’s 38.1 in is the number to remember if the people back there are older than grade school.
Cargo works the same way. Maximum cargo is 155.8 cu ft on the EX-L and the Sport, and 155.7 cu ft on the Touring and the Elite. A tenth of a cubic foot will never decide a trim. A family loading strollers, coolers, and beach chairs for a week on the Gulf gets the same room at every price.
Every trim drives a Panama City, FL commute at 280 hp and 22 mpg
A Panama City, FL commute asks the same of every Odyssey trim, because all four carry 280 hp and an EPA combined rating of 22 mpg on gasoline. Nothing about the daily drive is a reason to move up from the EX-L.
That is useful to know before the numbers on the sticker start to pull you up the ladder. The school run, the trip down the East 15th Street corridor, and the Saturday errands all get the same power and the same fuel economy at $42,795 as at $51,695. If a higher trim appeals, let it be for what you will touch and use inside the van, not for how it drives.
The warranty is shared too. Honda backs every new Odyssey with a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles and a powertrain warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
A weekend trailer from Panama City, FL tops out at 3,500 lbs on every trim
The Odyssey tows up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped, per Honda, and that rating is the same on the EX-L, the Sport, the Touring, and the Elite. A Panama City, FL family with a small trailer for a weekend can stay with the lowest trim, and a family whose trailer weighs more does not fit this van at any price.
Check the loaded weight of your trailer, not just the empty weight, before you decide. If the number lands near 3,500 lbs, you are at the limit of what Honda rates the Odyssey to pull, and a higher trim will not raise it. If it lands above, talk to us about a different Honda before you fall for the Odyssey’s space. We would rather match the vehicle to the load now than have you find the limit on the road.
How Group 1 Honda Panama City helps you pick a trim and keep it running
We help a Panama City, FL buyer with the trim decision and with the years after it.
On price, our advertised special pricing includes a $995 dealer doc fee and a $79 EFT charge, so you can add those to a sticker figure when you compare. On a trade, the make-and-model option online gives only a general estimate from historical data that could change, and a trade offer depends on inspection, vehicle condition, and current market value. If you shop certified pre-owned, each of those vehicles comes with a free vehicle history report.
After the sale, you can book service and maintenance appointments online on our service scheduling page. Odyssey owners already do the work of keeping these vans on the road, and their reviews say what that looked like.
Christopher S. described a 2015 Odyssey breakdown in a June 2026 Google review of Group 1 Honda Panama City: “My whole family had just checked out of our rooms in PCB. We left the parking lot and started having electrical problems with our 2015 Odyssey. Had a tow in 30 minutes and our bad alternator diagnosed and replaced in less than 4 hours. “Allen” was a pleasure to deal with. Extremely satisfied…”
Dennis C. wrote in a June 2026 Google review of Group 1 Honda Panama City: “Bay County Honda did an inspection of my wife’s Odyssey just to ensure that it was safe and ready to drive to Chicago. I appreciate their great work.”
A review of Group 1 Honda Panama City from Patrick O., posted to Google in October 2026, singles out the parts counter: “I want to give a special recognition to Devon at the parts counter.

Frequently asked questions
What does Honda’s warranty cover on a new Odyssey?
Honda lists a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles and a powertrain warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Both apply to the Odyssey, whatever the trim.
Is the starting price what I will pay in Panama City, FL?
No. The starting MSRP is Honda’s suggested price for the trim, and it is never our price.
How much cargo room is behind the second row?
Honda lists 86.6 cu ft behind the second row. Maximum cargo is larger, at 155.7 cu ft to 155.8 cu ft depending on the trim.
Should a family with one or two kids still look at the Odyssey?
If you want room for visiting family, a carpool, or a long beach week, yes. The Odyssey seats eight and offers up to 155.8 cu ft of cargo room. A smaller household that never needs those seats may do fine with something smaller, and we’ll say so.
Do you sell used or certified pre-owned Odysseys?
We sell new, used, and certified pre-owned Honda vehicles, and the mix on the lot changes. Ask us what Odyssey inventory is available when you contact us, so you can compare a pre-owned van with a new EX-L.
Where can I see an Odyssey in person?
Come to 3601 E 15th St, Panama City, FL 32404, on the East 15th Street corridor in Bay County. The store was known as Honda of Bay County, and it’s the same address and the same Honda store.
The EX-L fits most Panama City, FL families, and Elite buyers pay for equipment alone
For a Panama City, FL family that wants space, the EX-L is the trim to start with, because the seats, the power, the towing, and the warranty are the same across the Odyssey line. The Sport suits a buyer who likes the step up for its equipment, the Touring and the Elite suit a buyer who wants everything Honda puts into a trim, and none of them changes how the van drives or tows. The Odyssey is the wrong van for a Bay County buyer with a heavy trailer, so we point to another Honda. We sell new, used, and certified pre-owned Honda and run service, parts, and financing on the East 15th Street corridor, so the choice you make with us in Panama City, FL gets looked after long after the first visit.
