The irony couldn’t be more real. As I was driving a 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid from Tucson, Arizona, to Los Angeles, President Trump announced the U.S. was buying barrels of crude oil after its price plummeted nearly 30 percent in one day.

Although today’s families are clamoring for crossovers and SUVs, the minivan market remains very competitive even as the choices in it shrink. One constant? The Honda Odyssey’s excellence.

The 2021 Odyssey’s new front-end design includes a blacked-out grille topped by a strip of chrome and improved LED headlights. Just below, the various intakes, vents, and fog light housings have been redesigned for a sleeker look. The minivan also gets gloss-black trim under the rear window that echoes the grille’s finish, and Elite models receive new 19-inch alloy wheels.

For as long as humankind has been competitive, rivalries have existed, with some even defining different points in world history and pop culture. In the auto industry, it’s always been about Mustang vs. Camaro, but in the three-row SUV segment, there’s always been one essential matchup: Honda Pilot vs. Toyota Highlander. They were both born as unibody crossovers with an independent rear suspension and demonstrated to the world that SUVs could also have the carlike driving abilities of minivans without the quirky looks, awkward proportions, and sliding doors.
