If you're looking to spend more time with your family, look no further than
the Honda Odyssey. Tents, sleeping bags, fishing poles, dogs and kids take up room, but the
Odyssey is up to the challenge. Whether it's a family road trip or a dash to
the grocery store, you'll be comfortable and ready for any adventure. Focusing
on physical comfort, the Odyssey delivers an innovative driving environment
that's luxurious, as well as smart design principles. The interior, for
example, has highly configurable seating arrangements for up to eight people*.
Luxurious features such as available heated leather front seats for chilly
mornings, adjustable steering column, an 8-way power driver's seat and the
Honda Navigation System with bilingual Voice Recognition (standard on Touring
models) are all designed to help you keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes
on the road.
You'll want to focus on the pleasure of driving with Odyssey's potent
3.5-litre V6 engine: it's the sports car of minivans. For smoother delivery, it
uses a Drive-by-Wire Throttle SystemTM. The 5-speed automatic transmission
enhances acceleration as well as fuel-efficiency. But the core of the Odyssey's outstanding
fuel-efficiency can be found in Honda's Advanced Variable Cylinder ManagementTM
(VCM)** system - the brains directing the 3.5-litre i-VTEC® engine (standard on
models with leather interior). VCM quickly and seamlessly activates or
deactivates the three rear cylinders, depending on the driver's demands. You
get the best of both worlds: V6 power when you're accelerating or climbing, and
the efficiency of a smaller engine while cruising. In fact, it's the most
efficient minivan in its class.
Since
it's a Honda, you know that Odyssey is safe. It's even built on a solid unibody
frame for added safety and rigidity. Odyssey also uses innovative safety
technology, including an Advanced Compatibility EngineeringTM (ACETM) body
structure, which enhances the potential for energy absorption during a
collision. Like all Honda's, Odyssey comes standard with loads of safety
features: 4-Wheel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake
DistributionTM (EBDTM); Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Traction Control
System (TCS); Active front seat head restraints; Three Row Side Curtain
Air Bags, Dual Side Airbags (SRS) with Passenger Seat Occupant Position
Detection SystemTM (OPDSTM), which helps prevent deployment of the passenger's
side airbag if a child or small adult is in the airbag's deployment path.
So pack up the
kids and all your gear, and head out for the open road.
