Official: 2009 Honda Odyssey

October 17th 2008 05:30

The all-new fourth-generation Honda Odyssey people-mover has been unveiled in its entirety back home in Japan before going on sale today (Oct. 17). Looking even sleeker and station-wagon like than its predecessor, Honda designers have utilised "sensual dynamism" to create a people-mover that evokes beauty and strength.

From its low centre of gravity and sharp headlights to its V-shaped line that expresses the sense of speed and strength, the popular minivan's styling is inspired by Honda's latest models including the Accord Euro tourer and FCX Clarity.

Available in two trim levels, the Odyssey is powered by a strong and economical 2.4-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine that develops 126 kW in the base model and 149 kW in the top-of-the-range 'Absolute' variant while boasting strong fuel economy with a combined cycle of 13.2 km / L range.

Designed to provide ample space for seven people, even the comfort of the third row of occupants have been boosted significantly and by up to 40 mm over its predecessor courtesy of a smart floor plan and clever second row seat back that frees up an additional 20 mm of legroom for the knee area.

2009 Honda Odyssey


Honda Japan has just released a dedicated microsite - which went live on September 19 - for the all-new fourth generation Odyssey people-mover.

As can be seen in this first official picture, the 2009 Honda Odyssey (JDM version) retains the same sleek styling which made its predecessor such a success in its homeland and here in Australia. This design concept has been further refined and modernised for the new Odyssey and it appears the bulk of the cosmetic changes has taken place from the rear quarter - note the slight 'bulge' that extends from the rear passenger door all the way to the redesigned taillights.
