Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Roomy first- and second-row seating
Lots of cargo space and interior storage spots>
Easy-to-use control

Cons
Standard touchscreen interface is too small
Third-row seating is cramped for adults
Lackluster acceleration and braking performance

Pros
Refined powertrain,
actually capable TrailSport model,
just as family-friendly as the last version.

Cons
City fuel economy could be better,
entry-level infotainment display is dinky,
Honda's Odyssey minivan remains the more practical choice.
