ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Honda Odyssey?
The 2025 Honda Odyssey moved one point higher on the NHTSA Safety Index compared to the 2024 model, rising from 91 to 92 out of 100 and remaining firmly in the Exceptional band. That incremental gain is reflected primarily in the defect record sub-score of 15.5 out of 20, a figure that accounts for the two recalls logged against this year. The crash protection sub-score of 66 out of 70 is anchored by the five-star frontal and side ratings from NHTSA, and the avoidance tech sub-score reaches the full 10 out of 10, with forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control all standard equipment. The wheelchair restraint recall from Vantage Mobility is worth specific attention for any Odyssey configured for mobility use, as it targets the latch and anchor hardware that secures the wheelchair restraint system. The occupant classification sensor recall spans a broad multi-vehicle Honda and Acura campaign and directly affects front-passenger air bag deployment logic. Together, these two campaigns are the defining defect story for this model year and are the primary reason the defect sub-score does not reach its ceiling.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2025 Honda Odyssey perform in crash tests?
NHTSA awarded the 2025 Honda Odyssey five stars overall, five stars in both the frontal and side crash tests, and four stars in rollover protection, with a measured rollover risk of 14 percent and a dynamic tip test result of No Tip.
