CarHub · Honda
The Honda Odyssey is one of America's definitive family minivans, and for European buyers it represents something the local market barely offers any more: a large, comfortable, genuinely practical eight-seat van engineered specifically for North American families.

Model profile
For import purposes the two relevant generations are the fourth (2011–2017) and the fifth (2018-onward, the RL6). The fourth-generation Odyssey established the modern formula: a low, wagon-like van with a powerful V6, sliding rear doors, and a flexible three-row cabin.
Powertrain and equipment
Every US Odyssey of these generations uses Honda's 3.5-litre J35 V6, producing around 248 hp in the fourth generation and about 280 hp in the fifth, with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) that can deactivate cylinders to save fuel.
The Odyssey is a single body: a long minivan with dual power sliding doors. US trims run LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and Elite, with a Sport added later.
Vehicle selection
The Odyssey sold in very large numbers as a mainstream family van, so the American used market is deep and varied.
A used Odyssey import suits a large family or anyone who needs genuine eight-seat space, long-distance comfort and a durable, torque-rich V6 without the complexity of a modern turbo engine.

Pre-purchase review
For the Honda Odyssey, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on vehicle history, visible body and underbody condition, fluid leaks, warning messages, tyres, brakes and accessible suspension components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.
Germany and Europe
US Odysseys run mph-primary instruments, US federal lighting without a rear fog lamp, amber or combined rear signals depending on year, and North American navigation and radio.
Typical work for a US Odyssey includes fitting a rear fog lamp, adapting the headlights to the ECE beam pattern, and setting the speedometer to km/h; the odometer must be documented in kilometres or correctly converted.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
Begin by selecting the specific van — generation, trim and transmission.
Questions and answers
Yes. As a used vehicle it can be imported, cleared and registered after a TÜV individual approval; USCar Trader acts as your independent broker.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
No. Every US Odyssey is front-wheel drive; there is no AWD option, unlike some rival minivans.
VCM-related oil use, early nine-speed and older six-speed transmission behaviour, and power sliding-door actuators are the main things to check.
The ten-speed automatic on later fifth-generation Touring and Elite cars is generally the most refined; verify service history whichever you choose.
Typically a rear fog lamp, ECE-compliant lighting and a km/h speedometer; the exact list is set at inspection.
Ocean freight plus clearance and approval usually spans several weeks depending on shipping schedules.
