So, the all-new Odyssey was developed with the goal of generating strong feelings in every circumstance: riding in it, driving it, and looking at it. A special mobility-assistive version equipped with a lift-up front passenger seat will go on sale November 13, 2008.ĭesigned around the concept of emotive quality that will move all who experience it, the new fourth generation Odyssey provides an advanced fusion of the human/machine interface, a liberated feeling for all occupants, and a distinctive presence.
The new Odyssey is also equipped with advanced safety technologies, including the new Multi-view Camera System. The fully remodeled Odyssey features a low-floor and low center-of-gravity package that enables a low profile roofline and performance beyond ordinary minivans together with a spacious cabin. today announced that sales in Japan of the all-new Odyssey will begin tomorrow, October 17. On-road dynamics should be superb too, as the new Odyssey now comes with double-wishbone suspension all around, which, combined with its low centre-of-gravity, should produce some pretty stellar handling for a large people mover.Ī release date has yet to be confirmed for the Australian market, however given the current model is getting a little long in the tooth, we'd expect an announcement should be made sooner rather than later. As well as the standard FWD drivetrain, a 4WD system is also on offer, although 4WD models don't get the same CVT gearbox as the FWD cars - instead opting for a five-speed automatic. The seat layout is also just as flexible as the current model, with all seven seats able to be reconfigured into anything from a two-person bed to a flat-floored load area.Ī 2.4-litre iVTEC inline-four propels the Odyssey from supermarket to school car park, delivering 127kW in the base model and 152kW in the range-topping Odyssey Absolute. Among the JDM Odyssey's list of impressive tech gizmos are its Active Cruise Control system, Lane Keeping Assist system and multi-view blind spot camera system, which complement the 'usual' sat-nav display and the fancy-lookin' 3D luminescent instrument panel. The interior has also been jazzed up by the addition of higher quality materials, more gadgets and an even more futuristic dash design.
The entire package has benefited from stronger construction, larger internal dimensions and improved NVH reduction measures, which should make the new Odyssey a far more comfortable, durable and safe vehicle than its predecessor. While the sheetmetal is all new, Honda has thankfully preserved the low roofline and angular styling that made the outgoing model such a hit.
