2026 Honda Odyssey Touring: Staten Island Buyers Guide

The trim where the tech jump happens

EX-L and Sport-L share nearly everything except styling. Touring is a different conversation, this is where Honda gates the features that actually change a long drive. CabinWatch lets the driver glance at a mirror-free view of both back rows without turning around, useful the moment a sleeping toddler or a fight over a tablet needs checking on the Belt Parkway. Wi-Fi hotspot capability and the built-in navigation system come standard from here up, along with HondaLink subscription services. The 12.8-inch high-resolution rear entertainment screen is the one kids will actually ask about, wired into a system built for a two-hour drive to grandparents' house rather than a school run around the block. Third-row sunshades round out the trim, a small addition that matters more than it sounds on an August afternoon with the third row facing west.

Everything from Sport-L carries forward unchanged: 19-inch wheels, the exterior styling, red-stitched leather, and the third-row USB port. Touring doesn't remove anything, it adds a genuinely different layer of family-facing technology on top.

Same V6, same drivetrain, no exceptions

Touring runs the identical 3.5-liter V6, 280 horsepower, 262 lb-ft, 10-speed automatic, front-wheel drive only, at 19 city / 28 highway / 22 combined mpg, exactly like the EX-L and Sport-L below it and the Elite above it. Nothing about the mechanical package changes as the trims climb, the entire ladder is a cabin-and-technology decision from EX-L to Elite, never a drivetrain one. Buyers who assume a pricier trim means a stronger engine or an AWD option should know upfront that isn't how this lineup is built.

Is Touring the right stopping point?

For a lot of Staten Island families, yes. Elite adds a heated steering wheel, a hands-free power tailgate, and a stronger stereo, genuine upgrades, but nothing that changes daily use the way CabinWatch and the rear entertainment system do. A household doing regular highway stretches, the Verrazzano commute, weekend trips off the Island, summer runs to the Shore, gets more day-to-day value out of Touring's screens than out of Elite's remaining features. The Elite guide covers what that last $4,200 buys if the budget stretches that far.

Frequently asked questions

What does Touring add over Sport-L on the Odyssey?

CabinWatch, Wi-Fi hotspot, built-in navigation, HondaLink subscription services, a 12.8-inch rear entertainment screen, and third-row sunshades, for $3,600 over Sport-L's $43,895 MSRP. Everything from Sport-L, the 19-inch wheels and red-stitched leather, carries forward.

Does the Touring trim have all-wheel drive?

No. No 2026 Odyssey trim offers AWD, Touring included. Every trim is front-wheel drive only.

What is CabinWatch on the Honda Odyssey?

An in-cabin camera system that projects a view of the second and third rows onto the dashboard screen, standard on Touring and Elite. It's not available on EX-L or Sport-L.

What does a Touring cost with New York tax?

$47,495 MSRP plus $1,495 destination, then New York City's 8.875% sales tax, title, and registration. The pricing guide covers all four trims side by side.

Is Touring worth it over Sport-L?

For families who spend meaningful time driving with kids in back, the rear entertainment screen and CabinWatch tend to justify the $3,600 quickly. For a household that rarely fills the back rows, Sport-L covers the same driving experience for less.

The bottom line

Touring is the trim where the Odyssey stops being just a well-equipped minivan and starts being a rolling family command center. CabinWatch and the rear entertainment screen are the two features worth a dedicated test drive before deciding whether Sport-L's savings or Touring's tech wins your household's argument.
