Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen ID. Buzz than in the Honda Odyssey, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Honda Odyssey and the Volkswagen ID. Buzz.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Honda Odyssey is a better financial choice over the Volkswagen ID. Buzz, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Honda Odyssey is about the same width as the Volkswagen ID. Buzz. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Honda Odyssey, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen ID. Buzz.

The Honda Odyssey has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen ID. Buzz, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Honda Odyssey does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen ID. Buzz.
