Once you get to the trunk, however, there is a nice surprise for the touring elite trim.  The long awaited shop vac on the right side of the cargo area allows parents to clean up after their kids anywhere and anytime!

With the 2014 Odyssey, Honda continues to innovate and offer up the most space-efficient interior for families, while driving better than most crossovers and SUVs.
The Car Connection

 The 2014 Honda Odyssey is a top pick for minivans thanks to its versatile interior, long list of features and engaging driving dynamics.

Edmunds

The Odyssey minivan remains at the top of the class as an overall ownership proposition. Families will discover dozens of surprise and delight elements in the back seats, while the split-screen monitors will help calm the fighting children. If you need a minivan and are willing to accept that fact, the Honda Odyssey is among the best.
Top Speed

The Honda Odyssey is about function and making family life easier. It can carry a family of eight, or half a high-school soccer team, with all their coolers, balls, tents, shoes, whatever. It can tow a small trailer with a motorcycle or watercraft. It can carry 4x8 plywood flat on the floor, with 10-foot-long boards can be stacked on them, extending between the front seats when the convenient removable console is taken out. Best of all, it's loaded with conveniences designed to simplify life.

"I missed the moment when my Odyssey turned 200,000, so I wanted to make sure I wouldn't miss this time when it turned 300,000. It was a great moment for me, made more special since my 17-year old was driving it while I took the picture of the speedometer. We were coming home from his visit to McKendree University. I am also glad that my four kids and wife were with me. This Odyssey has taken our children safely to and from churches, schools, vacations and grocery stores. It has been a great Odyssey in more ways than one. Looking forward to the next 100,000 miles." Alvin V

Honda Odyssey Touring Elite with HondaVAC
Wins Good Housekeeping Award
February 17, 2014

Honda's Odyssey Touring Elite minivan with its industry-first solution for built-in mobile clean up - HondaVAC- received a coveted 2014 VIP (Very Innovative Products) Award from Good Housekeeping. It was the only automotive product to receive a VIP award this year.

The publication selected just six 2014 VIP award winners from thousands of products. Good Housekeeping based their decision on the product's ingenuity and the results of laboratory testing conducted by the engineers and scientists at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI), as well as consumer evaluation. Good Housekeeping praised HondaVAC for its breakthrough solution to solving an everyday problem. Its ability to pick up crumbs, dirt and a variety of detritus is a perfect solution for families on the go.

The magazine noted: "an easy-to-use 12- foot hose reaches every corner, then stows neatly in the cargo area. Our staff members could let their kids snack in transit for the very first time, stress-free."

Standard on the 2015 Odyssey Touring Elite, HondaVAC was developed in conjunction with industry-leader Shop-Vac® and is composed of a powerful vacuum, replaceable filter and canister bag, with nozzle accessories neatly integrated into a dedicated space on the driver's side of the rear cargo area.
