2002 Honda Odyssey review, specs

2006 Honda Odyssey

In the world of minivans, the Honda Odyssey stands out as a performance vehicle with the uncompromising sensibility and versatility that a van offers. Not only is it sophisticated, stylish, and contemporary, it sports class-leading levels of safety and luxury throughout. The Odyssey has been the recipient of a myriad of top industry awards for best-in-class.

Available Models
The Honda Odyssey Minivan is available in two models - the Odyssey base model and the Odyssey EX. In addition to the impressive host of comforts, conveniences, and other features available in the entry-level Odyssey, the Odyssey EX makes a series of upgrades.

Interior Features
Each Honda Odyssey Minivan is equipped with standard fare such as a revised column gear shifter for greater ease of use, a new steering wheel with increased comfort and a slightly thicker design, and revised horn controls with extended sensor pad positioning. The front seats now offer more deeply bolstered support, and new fabric patterns are used on all models.

In addition to the array of storage compartments and pockets, the Odyssey is built with second row grab rails mounted near the side of the roof with built-in hooks for hangers. Large cup holders line the sides of the second row seats. These second row seats slide together bench-style, and the cargo space behind the third row seats has been enhanced with eight bag hooks behind the seat cushion and a hammock-style cargo net.

The Odyssey EX model offers available genuine leather upholstery and interior trim, with electronically heated front seats. Also available as an option is a Honda DVD entertainment system with factory-installed integrated DVD system that includes an all-new crystal clear seven-inch LCD display that flips down from the ceiling at the push of a button. The DVD plays CD's, radio, cassette tapes, DVD, and allows for auxiliary inputs for video games, VCR's, and cameras.

Exterior Features
Rich new colors are offered this year to keep the look updated - Redrock Pearl, Evergreen Pearl, and Havasu Blue Pearl. The exterior styling has been freshened up with front-end features such as a more aggressive new grille with two horizontal slats and a more prominent H-mark.

As well, the Odyssey wears newly-designed sixteen-inch multi-spoke wheels, with optional aluminum alloy wheels (standard on the Odyssey EX). The tail lights have also been revamped to headline amber-colored turn signals for an updated appearance and improved visibility.

Performance
The Honda Odyssey Minivan is equipped with a 3.5-litre, SOHC, six-cylinder VTEC engine that pumps out an impressive 240 horsepower and 242 lb-ft of torque. New for 2006 is the standard five-speed automatic transmission, featuring smooth and quick gear changes with wider rations for increased fuel economy and a sportier drive.

Safety and Security
Every Honda Odyssey Minivan boasts safety features that range from standard side impact air bags to new driver depowered air bag, and a passenger depowered air bag with cut-off switch. The Odyssey is also equipped with four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, three-point seatbelts at outboard passengers' positions, child safety locks in the rear seating area, and child seat tethers and anchors. The vehicle is designed with crumple zones and side impact door beams.
