Does the Honda Odyssey qualify for the car loan interest deduction?
The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Honda Odyssey is built and what it means for your loan interest.

PASS — assembled in the USA
The Honda Odyssey qualifies on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer
Honda builds every US Odyssey in Lincoln, Alabama, so the minivan passes the OBBBA assembly test. New, personal-use, financed and under the income cap, the interest on an Odyssey loan can be deductible.
Where the Honda Odyssey is assembled
| Assembly plant | Location | Assembly test |
|---|---|---|
| Lincoln (Honda Alabama) | Lincoln, AL | ✓ United States |
Confirm the other three tests
A US-assembly PASS is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:
New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Honda Odyssey manufactured?
The Odyssey is assembled exclusively at Honda's Lincoln, Alabama plant for the US market — a US final-assembly point that meets the assembly test.
Is a minivan treated differently from a car or SUV?
No. The OBBBA deduction applies to qualifying personal-use passenger vehicles regardless of body style, as long as the final-assembly and other tests are met.
Does leasing an Odyssey qualify?
No. Leases are excluded — the deduction is for interest on a loan to purchase a new vehicle you own, not lease payments.
