Gebrauchter Honda Odyssey in Dubai

The Honda Odyssey is the car Dubai families buy when a seven seat SUV turns out to be a five seat car with two punishment seats in the boot. Three proper rows, sliding doors that open in a tight mall bay, and a 3.5 litre V6 that has done school runs and airport trips here for two decades. A used Honda Odyssey Dubai buyers keep for years, because the parts are Honda parts.

The Odysseys listed on OneClickDrive come from private owners and dealers, in GCC and American spec, across two very different generations. Below is what separates a good one from a tired one: the trim, the 2018 change, the timing belt and sliding doors, and the transfer.

Honda Odyssey price in Dubai and what actually moves it

Ask about the Honda Odyssey price in Dubai and the honest answer is that the badge tells you almost nothing. The listings here span a car with a quarter of a million kilometres and a car with delivery mileage. Five things set the number: the generation, the year inside it, the odometer, the trim, and whether the car is GCC spec or an import.

Generation is the big one. A fourth generation car from 2011 to 2017 and a fifth generation car from 2018 onward are priced as two different vehicles. Inside a generation, mileage matters more than age, because most of these cars have spent their lives ferrying children. Anyone weighing a Honda Odyssey 2020 price in UAE against a Honda Odyssey 2018 price in UAE should know the gap is mostly the gearbox update and the facelift, not the two years. The figure under the heading above is refreshed from the live listings, so use that and treat any number written into an article as stale. A Honda Odyssey price in UAE search also turns up new car figures, a different and much higher conversation.

LX, EX and Touring: which second hand Honda Odyssey to buy

The trim ladder has stayed broadly the same across both generations, which makes a second hand Honda Odyssey easy to read. The Honda Odyssey LX is the base car: cloth seats, manual sliding doors on older cars, and the same V6 as everything above it.

The Honda Odyssey EX is where the car starts to feel like the brochure: power sliding doors, a proper touchscreen, three zone climate control so the back rows are not roasting, and on the fifth generation the Magic Slide second row, whose outer seats slide sideways to open a walkway to the back. An EX L adds leather and a sunroof. The Honda Odyssey Touring is the full car: navigation, the rear entertainment screen that keeps a six year old quiet on the Abu Dhabi road, and on newer cars the CabinWatch camera that shows the third row on the dash. SE badges appear on some cars too, a special edition between EX and EX L whose kit changed by year and market, so read the equipment list, not the badge.

Which one depends on who sits in the back. Adults or teenagers in the third row make the Magic Slide and the power doors on an EX and above worth the extra. A school run car sold again in three years is better as an LX, which loses less and costs less to fix.

Fourth generation or fifth: the 2018 change that matters

Two generations make up almost the whole used Honda Odyssey market. The fourth generation ran from 2011 to 2017: the lightning bolt kink in the rear window line, a 3.5 litre V6 with cylinder deactivation, and a five speed automatic on most trims until the 2014 update put a six speed across the range along with a smoother nose and a better screen. A 2014 to 2017 car is the one to want.

The fifth generation arrived for 2018 and is a much newer car underneath: the V6 reworked to around 280 horsepower, a nine speed automatic on LX, EX and EX L with a ten speed on Touring and Elite, the Magic Slide seats and a far quieter cabin. The 2021 update matters more than most, because the ten speed went across the range and the Honda Sensing driver aids became standard. So a 2021 or later car is the sweet spot.

One more version confuses buyers. The Honda Odyssey J is a narrower, lighter Honda van built for Japan with a 2.4 litre four cylinder engine, and Honda sold it new in the region for a spell alongside the big American one. Good car, different car. If the listing says Odyssey J, price it as its own model.

GCC spec or American spec: the split in the Odyssey listings

Scroll the listings and you will see GCC Specs and American Specs cars in the same model year. A GCC spec car was sold new through Honda's Gulf dealer network, has the heavier duty cooling and dust sealing the region asks for, and carries a service history a dealer can pull up by chassis number. An American spec car came in used from the United States, with a customs card in the file and sometimes an accident history that never reached the advert.

Neither is automatically wrong, and the American car is often a higher trim for the money. What changes is the checking: insurers price an import differently and a few decline them, the resale is lower when you sell it on, and the air conditioning and radiator need a harder look because they were not specified for a Gulf August. Ask for the import file before paying a deposit.

What to check on a used Odyssey before you pay

The V6 in every Odyssey sold here uses a timing belt, not a chain.

• Honda's schedule is written in years as well as kilometres, and in Gulf heat most owners have it done with the water pump around the 100,000 kilometre mark.
• A car past that reading with no invoice for the belt needs the job priced into the offer, because a snapped belt on this engine is a rebuild. Cylinder deactivation is the second engine question.
• It saves fuel on the highway and can cause oil consumption and fouled plugs on cars that have lived in traffic, especially fourth generation and early fifth generation ones.
• Check the oil level cold and ask whether the car uses oil between services. Then the doors.
• Power sliding doors are why people buy an Odyssey and the cable and motor that run them are the parts that fail.
• Work both doors from the dash button, the key and the handle, and reject hesitation, grinding, or a door that stops halfway.
• The tailgate struts and the third row fold deserve the same.
• On a 2018 to 2020 car, feel the nine speed shift cold and warm. Finally the checks that decide the deal.
• A service history with dealer stamps or specialist invoices is worth more on an Odyssey than on most cars because of the belt.
• An odometer that does not match the wear on the wheel, pedals and seat bolster is a car to walk away from, and an independent inspection before the money moves costs less than one sliding door repair.

Why buy a used Honda Odyssey with OneClickDrive

OneClickDrive is a marketplace, not a dealer, so nobody in the middle takes a cut. The buyer pays no commission, no booking fee and no markup on the seller's price, and you contact the seller directly through the listing.

That matters on an Odyssey, because the private seller is usually the better story: one family from new, dealer serviced, driven to school and back. A dealer listing may bring its own inspection and short warranty. Both sit side by side here, and the filters sort a used car Honda Odyssey search by year, mileage, trim and spec. When it is time to move on, a private owner lists on the same marketplace for free with no commission when the car changes hands, and dealers are on a plan instead of paying per sale.

Where to find a Honda Odyssey for sale in Dubai and across the UAE

Most stock sits in Dubai, and a Honda Odyssey for sale in Dubai is usually either a family car from the villa communities or an ex fleet car from a hotel or school contract, which is where the very high mileage examples come from. There are separate pages for a used Honda Odyssey in Sharjah and a used Honda Odyssey in Abu Dhabi, and a used Honda Odyssey for sale in Dubai is often beaten on price by the same car an emirate over.

Widening to a used Honda Odyssey for sale in UAE search helps most on the older fourth generation, where Dubai stock thins out. If the Odyssey is the wrong shape, the closest alternatives have their own pages: the Toyota Sienna, the Toyota Previa, the Kia Carnival, and the Honda Pilot for the seats without the sliding doors. The rest of the range is on the Honda hub.

One spelling note. A lot of buyers write it Odessey, so a listing titled used Honda Odessey or Honda Odessey for sale is the same car with a typo. Odyssey cars are not rare, so if the Honda Odyssey for sale Dubai listing you liked has gone, another Odyssey Honda owner will list a second hand Odyssey within the week.

Finance, EMI and buying a used Odyssey with no down payment

Most used Odysseys are bought on finance, and the banks are comfortable with the car because Honda values hold. The usual shape is a monthly EMI over three to five years, with the bank paying the seller and a mortgage on the Mulkiya until the last instalment clears. A down payment is normally asked for, and a no down payment deal is possible on some cars for some buyers depending on salary, employer and the age of the car, so ask the bank, not the seller.

OneClickDrive works with Emirates NBD (ENBD) to provide car loan pre-approval within 24 hours, as long as you meet the bank's eligibility criteria. Selected cars are eligible and the listing shows it. On an older fourth generation car the bank's minimum loan sum can be the constraint. If the seller still has a loan, their bank is paid off first and issues a liability letter, and the transfer waits for the clearance certificate. Do not hand over cash until the Mulkiya is free of the previous mortgage.

Paperwork to put an Odyssey in your name

The transfer is done at an RTA centre or a registration service partner and takes an hour if the file is clean.

• The seller brings the Mulkiya and their Emirates ID, you bring yours and an insurance policy in your name, and the car passes a technical inspection where one is due.
• Any traffic fines on the plate must be cleared first, and on a Honda Odyssey used Dubai wide by two or three drivers there usually are some, so check them online and agree who pays.
• On an American spec car the file also needs the customs card proving the duty was paid, or the RTA will not register it to you.
• Check that the chassis number on the Mulkiya matches the car and that the seller is the registered owner.
• Insurance is the last piece: comprehensive cover on an Odyssey is reasonable because it is a slow, safe, common car, but an American spec import may be quoted higher or declined by some companies. Get the quote first.
