The Honda Odyssey is loaded with innovative features and technologies, providing drivers and passengers with convenience, connectivity and tons of fun. From information and entertainment to navigation and trip-enhancing convenience, the Odyssey is one minivan that aims to impress.
Introduced in 1995, the Honda Odyssey minivan was instantly popular with families. Four-wheel disc brakes, 7 passenger seating, and dual airbags provided drivers, passengers and friends with a great ride.
In the early 2000s, the Odyssey underwent a major style change to appeal to modern buyers. Increased length, extra storage space, a smaller engine, and an exotic navigation system gave additional reasons for why the Odyssey was the best minivan to buy.
The 2020 Odyssey is engineered for the modern family. A 3.5L V6 engine with 280hp gives suitable mileage in the city and highway. With a wide variety of trims available, drivers can customize their Odyssey to meet their family’s specific needs.
A Sophisticated Exterior
The Odyssey’s refined design gives a bold and sporty look, with 19" aluminum-alloy wheels available. Up front, Honda’s best minivan shines bright with available LED daytime running lights, headlights and fog lights, with LED tail lights at the rear.
Hands-free convenience is also available with power sliding doors and hands-free power tailgate. Whether loading or unloading, you’ll be able to move your cargo easily.
A Fresh Interior
The versatile interior comes standard with a proximity key entry system, push button start, and remote engine starter to help you get on your way. The standard 8-passenger seating helps large families fit, while still providing ample cargo room with plenty of storage.
In the 2020 Odyssey, seats can easily slide apart for enhanced passenger comfort, cargo-hauling flexibility and easy access to third-row seating. Simply pulling on the seat back strap folds seats away to create additional cargo space in seconds.
Cool New Tech
With available CabinWatch available on the 8” centre display, parents can monitor their children in the second and third row while staying focused on the road ahead. Adding the available Honda Blu-ray Rear Entertainment System with streaming capability will keep passengers focused on their own ceiling-mounted, 10.2" display.
To keep all passengers happy, the Odyssey impressively offers Wi-Fi hotspot and advanced Rear Entertainment System with streaming capability. Families can stay entertained on long trips, and drivers can get help on picking the fastest course with GPS capabilities.
Honda Sensing technologies are designed to help make the trip safer. Drivers, passengers, families and pets can feel confident with the latest in safety innovation included in the Odyssey.
Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) Body Structure
The next-generation ACE body structure is engineered to help disperse impact energy in order to enhance occupant protection. In severe collisions, the ACE body structure helps prevent intrusion of outside vehicles and debris from entering the passenger cabin.
Child Safety Restraints
While the Odyssey features childproof rear sliding door locks, the interior seating is designed for securing child seats. Standard Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) provide three different secure restraint positions in the second row, while the third row has two positions.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
The FCW system is designed to detect the presence of vehicles in front of the vehicle, and issue audible, visual and tactile alerts if drivers approach with too much speed. In the event that drivers fail to respond to alerts, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) is triggered into operation in order to avoid an accident.
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System
The LDW system is designed to monitor vehicle lane position. By issuing visual and tactile alerts when vehicles drifts into another detected lane without signalling, drivers can quickly adjust their position to avoid collisions.
Controlled Braking With the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
To assist with safe stopping, the 4-wheel ABS is designed to help maintain control under hard braking conditions. Additionally, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) helps to optimize braking power based on weight distribution inside the vehicle.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Traction Control
Vehicle Stability Assist is designed to sense and help correct oversteer and understeer scenarios to enhance handling and cornering stability. Traction Control is utilized to minimize wheel spin when accelerating on loose or slippery surfaces, helping drivers stay comfortable and confident.
With Honda’s commitment to safety, the Odyssey remains as the best minivan to buy in Canada. Test-drive an Odyssey today to experience the new tech, see the new features, and take your family for a safe ride.
