Odyssey's trunk space when fully loaded is 708L. There is a relatively large recess under the third-row seats where smaller items can be placed. Reasons why the trunk may not close: The closing limit rubber block does not match the locking mechanism properly; trunk control circuit failure; trunk hydraulic support rod failure. Functions of the trunk: To absorb and cushion part of the collision energy in rear-end accidents, reducing or minimizing passenger casualties. The car's trunk is the storage area for spare items and cargo, including: the car's spare tire; the vehicle's first aid kit; the onboard tool kit; the warning triangle sign; the fire extinguisher; the car refrigerator; and the emergency release cable for the fuel tank cap.

I've used the Odyssey to take my family on trips many times. When fully loaded with seven people, the trunk space is really not that big, just over 15 cubic feet. It can fit two carry-on suitcases or a few bags of groceries before it's full. Last week, when we went on vacation, our luggage was overflowing, and we had to cram it into the corners at the feet of the back row, with the large suitcases having to go on the roof. I recommend collapsible boxes or lightweight luggage to save space. It's fine for daily use, but for sudden long trips, you need to plan carefully, or else adding extra bags last minute can make it feel cramped. The car is great overall, and although the trunk is small, the seats are flexible, allowing you to temporarily free up some space.

As a car enthusiast, I find the Odyssey's fully loaded trunk capacity of about 450 liters (approximately 16 cubic feet) somewhat limiting. The design places the third-row seats too far back, which compresses the storage area. The upside is the hidden compartments under the seats, which are quite handy for stashing small items. However, larger items like strollers require advance . If space becomes an issue, adding accessories like a roof rack can help alleviate the problem. For long-term use, developing good organizational habits is crucial—avoid cluttering the space with miscellaneous items that could compromise driving safety.

When driving the Odyssey with grandchildren, the trunk space is less than 15 cubic feet when fully occupied, which can only fit two or three shopping bags or small backpacks. Previously, when taking them to the park, snacks and toys had to be carefully selected, otherwise there wouldn't be enough space, affecting the trip. When the seats couldn't adjust in height, the car felt a bit cramped. Fortunately, it's easy to operate, making it user-friendly even for beginners.

Travel expert's tip: With all seven seats occupied, the Odyssey's 15.5 cubic feet trunk space can fit outdoor backpacks or simple gear, but not tents or large carts. On our last road trip, teammates complained about insufficient space – we solved it by installing rear hooks for a luggage rack, making the journey much smoother. Always check tire pressure and vehicle tool compartments to optimize space utilization and improve travel efficiency.

Daily commuting with colleagues, the Odyssey's full-load trunk offers about 16 cubic feet of space, enough for briefcases and lunch boxes, but hard-shell luggage won't fit. This size works for city commutes, but for long-distance business trips, you'll need to adjust strategies like packing lighter or removing seats. Overall practical with decent noise control, just be mindful of its length when parking to avoid scratches.
