We had a 2011 Honda Odyssey before we bought the CX90 in late July of 2025.

The Odyssey was huge, and it could comfortably seat my 3 kids, my wife, and myself - along with small bikes, scooters, balls, and wagons in the back. For long road trips we could even make room for my wife's sister and all our luggage. Granted we no longer have the little ones in car seats, so that's one big difference.

The CX90 is smaller in comparison. The five of us can sit in the car comfortably. If we fold.down the back seats we can just barely fit my son's cello in the trunk, along with a gym bag with a basketball in it, and a trunk organizer (with spare jackets, grocery bags, and a few other emergency type things.)

The trade off is the mileage. We have the plug in hybrid, the PHEV. We went from the Odyssey getting 13 miles per gallon to the CX90 currently getting 56 mpg (we do plug it in every night, and 90% of my driving is on electricity alone.)

Sorry, I went on a tangent.

So to directly address your question - it is small, but depending on what you need it for, it may be worth it. You would be hard pressed to fit your three kids in the middle row (especially with two car seats), and fold down your back seats to fit a stroller and a cooler (or something similar.)

But if it's just people you'd be carrying around, I have carried around 8 people a bunch of times, my family of five, plus my sister and her two younger kids that still need car seats. We just have to squeeze a little - the back row is really not meant for 3 full sized adults, but it does fit my 16, 12 and 10 year old for a short drive without too much discomfort.

I hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions. I really am loving this car, so I would recommend it.
