Minivans win families over on the small stuff — and the 2027 Odyssey EX-L has a party trick that lands every time on a test drive. One touch, and the whole thing opens up.
The 30-second version
On the Odyssey EX-L, one press — no holding the button down — sends the windows, the power sliding doors, and the moonroof all the way open or closed on their own. It sounds like a gimmick until you've got an armful of kid and groceries and you tap once and the door just… opens for you.
What "one-touch" covers
| Windows | One-touch up and down, all the way |
|---|---|
| Power sliding doors | Open & close from the button or key fob |
| Moonroof | One-touch open and close |
| Trim | 2027 Odyssey EX-L — Smoke Blue Pearl |
Why it matters when you're shopping
Everybody test-drives the engine. Almost nobody test-drives the daily-life stuff — and that's what you actually live with. The one-touch doors are the feature I watch sell the Odyssey: parents try it once in the parking lot and you can see the decision click. If you're cross-shopping minivans, go press the button yourself.
Bottom line
The Odyssey has always been a smart family hauler; little conveniences like this are why it keeps earning repeat buyers. Watch the demo above, and subscribe on YouTube for more real-world walkarounds.
