Are Honda Odyssey made in the USA?
The short answer is yes. The Honda Odyssey sold in the United States is assembled in the United States, most notably at Honda Manufacturing of Alabama in Lincoln, Alabama. Production for the current model years is domestic to support the North American market, though Honda’s Odyssey nameplate has appeared in other regions with different production arrangements over the years. This article explains where Odysseys are built today, how production has shifted historically, and how you can verify the origin of a specific vehicle.
Current production location for the U.S.-market Odyssey
Here is a snapshot of where today’s Odyssey is assembled for the U.S. market.
- The U.S.-market Honda Odyssey is built at Honda Manufacturing of Alabama (HMA) in Lincoln, Alabama.
- The Alabama plant also produces other Honda models for North America, reflecting Honda’s integrated U.S. manufacturing network.
- For the current generations, Odyssey production is domestically oriented for the North American market and is not regularly imported from overseas to satisfy U.S. demand.
In summary, if you’re buying a U.S.-spec Odyssey today, it is produced in the United States, at Alabama’s Honda manufacturing facility, as part of Honda’s North American production footprint.
Historical context: how Odyssey production has shifted over time
Production locations have varied by generation and market. The Odyssey’s manufacturing history includes periods where the model was produced outside of the United States to support local demand in other regions, and at times different U.S. or international plants depending on Honda’s global manufacturing strategy.
Past assembly sites
These points illustrate the broader pattern of Odyssey production across generations and markets.
- Over previous generations, some Odysseys destined for various markets were assembled in North American facilities, while other regional variants were produced in different plants to meet local demand.
- Honda has historically used multiple facilities worldwide to support the Odyssey nameplate, depending on market needs and production capacity at the time.
Today, the U.S.-market Odyssey is produced in Alabama, reflecting Honda’s strategy to consolidate critical North American volume in a single, well-situated plant while continuing to supply global markets from other facilities as needed.
How to verify the origin of your specific Odyssey
If you want to confirm exactly where your particular Odyssey was built, use these methods.
- Check the window sticker (Monroney label) on the vehicle for the country of origin or the manufacturing plant name.
- Consult the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) with a dealer or Honda’s customer service; the VIN can indicate the manufacturing plant through its codes.
- Look at the driver’s door jamb label, which often lists the manufacturing location and plant information.
If there’s any doubt after these checks, a local Honda dealer can provide a definitive answer based on the VIN and build records.
Summary
In the United States, the Honda Odyssey is built domestically at Honda Manufacturing of Alabama in Lincoln, Alabama, making U.S.-market Odysseys primarily American-made. While current U.S. production is centered in Alabama, the Odyssey nameplate has a broader global history with production elsewhere for other markets during different generations. Always verify a specific vehicle’s origin with the VIN and window sticker for the most accurate, model-year-specific information.
