The benchmark among minivans

Overview Information

The Odyssey is the benchmark for all other minivans. Not only does it offer decent performance, more car-like driving, and fold-flat rear seats, it also brought the Honda credibility and residual values to the minivan segment. Although newer models by Toyota, Nissan and Chrysler have applied pressure, Odyssey is still the one to beat. Three basic trim levels are offered: LX, EX, and a new Touring model. All three are powered by a 255hp V6 coupled to a new 5-speed automatic. A long list of features such as power-operated windows in the side doors, a floor-storage system, an improved 3rd-row seat system, a 9-inch DVD entertainment system, an updated navigation system and an available moonroof help the Odyssey compete and maintain its status.

What Changed:

DVD system offered on base Touring model without navigation system.
