What is the total interior volume of the Honda Odyssey?
The most relevant figure Honda publishes for interior space is the passenger volume, which for the current Odyssey is about 163.6 cubic feet. Honda does not publish a single "total interior volume" number that combines passenger and cargo in one metric. Therefore, the total interior space depends on how you configure seating and how you count cargo. The following explains the numbers Honda does publish and how space is allocated.
How Honda defines interior space
Honda’s official spec sheet separates interior space into passenger volume and cargo volume. Passenger volume measures the space for occupants across all seating rows, while cargo volume measures space behind the third row and with seats folded. There isn’t a published official "Total Interior Volume" number that sums these two into one figure.
Official figures for the current Odyssey (latest model year)
Here are the figures Honda lists for the latest Odyssey model year. These numbers reflect the standard eight-passenger configuration and common trim levels.
- Passenger Volume: 163.6 cubic feet
- Cargo volume behind the third row: 38.6 cubic feet
Before listing the figures, note that Honda distinguishes space for people from space for cargo. The primary published metric for interior space is passenger volume.
Note: Honda’s primary published figures focus on passenger space and cargo space behind the third row. A precise “total interior volume” would require adding cargo space across all seating configurations, which Honda does not publish as a single metric.
How the numbers translate to real-world space
With up to eight occupants, the Odyssey prioritizes comfortable seating across three rows. When you fold the second-row seats, you gain additional cargo space, but the volume available for cargo changes depending on seat configuration and whether the middle seats are captain’s chairs or a bench.
What to consider when comparing to other minivans
Different manufacturers use different measurement conventions: some cite the maximum interior volume (with seats folded) while others report passenger volume only. Always check whether a figure is passenger space, cargo behind a given row, or total interior space across seats and cargo.
Summary
Honda’s official data centers on passenger volume and cargo capacity; the current Odyssey offers about 163.6 cubic feet of passenger space, and there is no published single "total interior volume" figure that combines passenger and cargo space. For practical purposes, use the passenger volume as the primary indicator of interior space, and review cargo specs for your seating and hauling needs.
