The Honda Odyssey is the wheelchair van industry’s most flexible, functional, and easy-to-use mobility van. The van’s sharp styling, athletic chassis, and smooth V-6 engine make it unrivaled in the minivan industry.
Car and Driver has given the minivan 5 out of 5 stars since the publication appeared. According to their website, “The Odyssey has charmed our staff for years with its unrivaled road manners, smooth powertrain and accommodating interior.”
The VMI (Vantage Mobility International) conversion of the Honda Odyssey makes this minivan a premium choice, combining the perfect blend of performance, safety, and style.
What is a VMI vehicle?
A VMI vehicle is a wheelchair-accessible van that has been specially converted by Vantage Mobility International (VMI), one of the leading names in mobility solutions.
Instead of being just a standard Honda Odyssey, the VMI conversion transforms it into a premium mobility van designed with wheelchair van ramp options suitable for both manual and power wheelchair users.
The result is a van that keeps all the strengths the Honda Odyssey is known for, like reliable performance and a powerful V-6, while adding accessibility, comfort, and independence.

Key upgrades in the new 2025 Honda Odyssey VMI
So, what upgrades has the Honda Odyssey VMI seen in recent years? Well, there have been a few pretty significant changes:
- Access360® interior space. The new Odyssey offers significantly more room inside for wheelchair users. This makes it easier to maneuver, turn, and stay comfortable without sacrificing important features.
- Interchangeable front seats. A unique feature of the newer model, this allows the driver and front passenger to swap places with ease. It creates more flexibility on long trips and lets wheelchair users take the driver’s seat or passenger spot as needed.
- Ramp Assist backup system. Unlike some older models, the 2025 includes a built-in backup system for the in-floor Northstar ramp. Even if the battery dies or the power fails, the ramp can still deploy, giving you peace of mind that you’ll always have access.
In short, the 2025 model isn’t just newer—it’s designed to offer more space, greater flexibility, improved accessibility, and enhanced safety compared to the earlier certified pre-owned vans.
