The Honda Odyssey has been the benchmark minivan for decades, and the 2027 model continues that tradition with a four-trim lineup, a strong value proposition against the Chrysler Pacifica and Toyota Sienna, and dealer-level pricing that gives informed buyers real room to negotiate. With invoice prices running $2,678 to $4,272 below MSRP depending on trim, and a minivan segment where dealers are actively moving metal, knowing what the dealer actually paid is the most important number in the conversation.
Honda offers the 2027 Odyssey in four trims, all powered by the same 3.5-liter V6 and front-wheel drive. Prices below exclude the $1,595 destination charge.
| Trim | MSRP | Invoice | Invoice-to-MSRP Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| EX-L | $43,195 | $40,517 | $2,678 |
| Sport-L | $44,295 | $41,549 | $2,746 |
| Touring | $47,895 | $44,207 | $3,688 |
| Elite | $52,095 | $47,823 | $4,272 |
The invoice-to-MSRP gap expands significantly as you move up the ladder. The base EX-L shows a $2,678 spread, but by the time you reach the Elite, the gap balloons to $4,272. That is a meaningful negotiating target on the top trim, particularly since the Odyssey Elite has a history of sitting on lots longer than the entry trims.

Honda also earns dealer holdback on every Odyssey sold, which adds additional margin above and beyond the invoice-MSRP gap. That holdback further cushions the deal structure and means a dealer agreeing to sell at or even slightly below invoice is still in profitable territory.
Honda charges $1,595 in destination and delivery on the 2027 Odyssey, a $100 increase over the 2026 model year. This is non-negotiable and applies universally. With destination included, the range runs from $44,790 on the EX-L to $53,690 on the Elite.
The 2027 Odyssey is a carryover update rather than a redesign. Every trim received a $400 base price increase from 2026, and the destination fee rose $100. The more notable specification change is that Honda switched the EX-L and Sport-L from leather-trimmed seating to HondaTex synthetic leather for 2027. The Touring and Elite retain genuine leather upholstery.
The powertrain, dimensions, safety systems, and core feature set are unchanged. For buyers who were on the fence between a 2026 and a 2027, the HondaTex substitution on lower trims and the price increases are the two factors worth weighing.
Every 2027 Odyssey uses the same 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 producing 280 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 RPM, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. There is no AWD option and no hybrid powertrain available in the Odyssey lineup.
EPA fuel economy is 19 city, 28 highway, and 22 combined mpg. Maximum towing capacity is 3,500 lbs when properly equipped. Real-world 0-60 mph testing of the current-generation Odyssey Elite runs in the 6.4 to 6.8 second range per Car and Driver and Motor Trend testing of the 2025 model, which shares the same powertrain.
Cargo capacity is 155.7 cubic feet with all rear seats folded. The Odyssey measures 205.2 inches in overall length on a 118.1-inch wheelbase. Curb weight on the Elite reaches 4,590 lbs. Standard seating is eight passengers, with a second-row Magic Slide bench that can be repositioned for easier third-row access.
NHTSA rated the 2026 Odyssey five stars across all frontal and side impact categories, with four stars in rollover resistance.
The EX-L ($43,195) is the entry point and covers the fundamentals well: HondaTex synthetic leather seating, heated front seats, a moonroof, power sliding doors and power tailgate, a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Honda Sensing safety suite, and eight-passenger seating. It is the trim that sells in the highest volume and the one dealers are most motivated to move.
The Sport-L ($44,295) adds 19-inch gloss-black wheels, dark exterior trim accents, red interior stitching, and third-row USB charging ports. At a $1,100 premium over the EX-L, it appeals to buyers who want a sportier aesthetic without climbing to the Touring’s larger price jump.
The Touring ($47,895) is where the Odyssey steps up meaningfully. It adds genuine leather seating, a 12.8-inch rear entertainment screen with HDMI input, Honda’s CabinWatch rear-seat camera system, navigation, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, parking sensors, and third-row sunshades. For families with kids who spend time in the back seats, the Touring’s rear entertainment system alone closes the $3,600 gap over the Sport-L.
The Elite ($52,095) adds hands-free power tailgate, a 500-watt 11-speaker premium audio system, multi-zone audio so rear passengers can listen to different content than the front, a heated steering wheel, and ventilated front seats. The Elite is the only 2027 Odyssey trim with both ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel. For buyers who want the full package, it is the definitive Odyssey, but the $4,200 jump from Touring is a significant ask.
These are verified listings from current dealer inventory across the country.
Freeman Honda, Dallas, TX has a 2027 EX-L asking $42,612, which is meaningfully below the $44,790 MSRP with destination included (VIN 5FNRL6H64VB003695). That is one of the stronger EX-L prices visible in national inventory right now.
Katy Honda, Katy, TX is listing a 2027 EX-L at $42,762 before a $225 documentation fee (VIN 5FNRL6H69VB006141). The Houston-area market is competitive for Odyssey inventory and one of the better regions to shop.
Vandergriff Honda, Arlington, TX has a 2027 EX-L asking $44,297 (VIN 5FNRL6H68VB005434). This is above what the Dallas and Katy dealers are asking for the same trim, illustrating how much variation exists even within the same metro area.
Goudy Honda, Alhambra, CA has multiple 2027 EX-L units priced between $44,912 and $45,367:
Team Honda, Baton Rouge, LA is pricing a 2027 Elite at $54,481, which includes a $436 doc fee on a $54,045 asking price (VIN 5FNRL6H95VB001402). The MSRP with destination on the Elite is approximately $53,690, making this slightly above sticker once the doc fee is factored in.
Gillman Honda Fort Bend, Rosenberg, TX has a 2027 Elite at $54,045 (VIN 5FNRL6H93VB003911). At this price, that is near MSRP territory before fees, which is roughly in line with what the market is bearing on Elite inventory right now.
Gee Automotive, Tacoma, WA is offering a 2027 Elite with a sale price of $51,222 against an MSRP near $54,050 (VIN 5FNRL6H93VB000796). That is over $2,800 below sticker, which is the sharpest confirmed Elite discount in current national inventory and suggests the Pacific Northwest market has more negotiating room on this trim.
Honda is running a financing promotion through November 2, 2026:
The only cash incentive available on the 2027 Odyssey is a $500 Loyalty Bonus on the Elite trim for existing Honda owners. There are no broad cash rebates, and College Graduate and Military bonuses are not currently available on the Odyssey.
The lease rate on the EX-L is $570 per month for 36 months at $0 down and 10,000 miles per year, based on the $44,790 MSRP with destination. That is a reasonable entry point for buyers who prefer to drive a new Odyssey every three years without committing to a purchase.
The Odyssey sits in a segment where dealers have learned to discount. The Sienna’s hybrid powertrain commands premium pricing and rarely discounts, but the Odyssey is a traditional powertrain vehicle in a market with consistent supply. Buyers willing to be patient and shop multiple dealers typically beat MSRP.
Use invoice price as the floor for your negotiation, not a ceiling. The invoice gaps are real: $2,678 on the EX-L and $4,272 on the Elite. Dealer holdback from Honda adds additional margin on top of that. A reasonable opening offer is $500 to $1,000 above invoice on mid-tier trims, with the expectation of landing somewhere in the middle.
The Texas market is worth a phone call if you live within driving distance. The Freeman Honda Dallas listing at $42,612 and the Katy Honda listing at $42,762 are both materially below what most California or Northeast dealers are asking for the same EX-L trim. Dealers in competitive metro markets with higher Odyssey inventory move to price faster.
The Elite is the best trim to negotiate on in absolute dollars. The $4,272 invoice-to-MSRP gap gives dealers the most room to deal, and the Gee Automotive Tacoma listing at $51,222 confirms that some dealers will go over $2,800 below sticker on the Elite when they have inventory sitting. If you want an Elite and are flexible on color or feature packages, waiting out a slow-sales month and making a firm offer at invoice is a realistic strategy.
Do not let the destination fee become a negotiating chip. Some dealers try to show a lower vehicle price while padding destination or documentation fees to compensate. Always ask for the full out-the-door price including all dealer and government fees before comparing offers.
The Elite loyalty bonus is worth stacking. If you are a current Honda owner and buying an Elite, the $500 loyalty bonus adds to any price negotiation you have already done. Disclose that you qualify after you have agreed on a vehicle price so the bonus does not get folded into the dealer’s profit rather than passed to you.
The Odyssey’s two primary competitors are the Toyota Sienna and Chrysler Pacifica. The Sienna is hybrid-only, with significantly better fuel economy (36 mpg combined) and available AWD, but it commands a price premium and rarely sells below MSRP. The Pacifica offers a plug-in hybrid option and a broader trim range at lower entry pricing, but its reliability record and resale values trail the Odyssey and Sienna.
Against both, the Odyssey’s Magic Slide second row, interior refinement, and long-term reliability reputation remain competitive differentiators. Honda’s warranty is standard industry coverage at 3 years/36,000 miles bumper to bumper and 5 years/60,000 miles powertrain, which trails the Genesis G80’s 10-year powertrain coverage but is consistent with Toyota’s Sienna terms.
For families who want a minivan that holds its value, requires minimal unplanned maintenance, and can be negotiated to a fair price with reasonable effort, the 2027 Odyssey checks the core boxes. Target invoice on the EX-L and Sport-L trims, and push toward invoice or $200 to $300 above on the Touring and Elite where the absolute dollar gap is larger. In a competitive market, you should be able to do better than MSRP on any trim.
