Honda Odyssey (North America)

2018 to present, fifth generation Magic Slide is the reason to pick the Odyssey: the second-row seats slide sideways, so you can push a car seat to one side and open a walkway to the third row without unbuckling anyone. Every trim seats eight, and the 280-horsepower V6 with a 10-speed automatic makes it the van that feels least like a compromise on the highway. It is front-wheel drive only, and 22 mpg combined trails the hybrids. Used, skip the 2018, the first year of this generation, which collected 13 recalls, including door latches that could open while driving. The 2022 has the strongest reliability record of any Odyssey year.
