The 2011 Honda Odyssey EX-L and above models feature a rear camera with guidelines. It not only helps you see what�s behind you, but also helps when backing into tight spaces. On navigation-equipped models, a multi-view rear camera offers three views: normal, wide and straight down.
Every Odyssey is equipped with a powerful 3.5-liter V-6 engine with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) for brisk acceleration as well as maximized mpg. Combine that with a new 6-speed automatic transmission, and Odyssey Touring models achieve up to 28 highway mpg. It�s the kind of efficiency most vans only dream of. The 2011 Honda Odyssey LX is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 248-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 27-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The Touring Elite is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 248-horsepower engine that achieves 19-mpg in the city and 28-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
The 2011 Honda Odyssey Safety Standard front, front side and side curtain airbags can help reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision. The side curtain airbags have a sensor that can detect a rollover, and then deploy the airbags. And the front passenger�s side airbag comes equipped with the Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) to help prevent airbag deployment if a small-statured passenger is out of position and in the airbag�s path of deployment.
The Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is a Honda-exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection as well as crash compatibility in frontal collisions. By dispersing crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle, less force is transmitted to the passenger compartment.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system helps sense oversteer or understeer and brakes individual wheels and/or reduces engine power to help keep you on your intended course. VSAa is not a substitute for safe driving. It cannot correct the vehicle�s course in every situation or compensate for reckless driving. Control of the vehicle always remains with the driver.
Brake Assist, a component of the anti-lock braking system (ABS), helps apply full braking force in some emergency situations. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) helps balance braking forces depending upon dynamic loading.
The third row has room for three adult passengers and three beverage holders. A fold-down center armrest makes it cozier for two (Touring models). On vans equipped with a rear entertainment system, there�s a 115-volt power outlet and A/V inputs. In this van, taking the back seat is a pleasure. The second row features a center seat that can accomplish a multitude of tasks. It�s now wide enough for a child seat, and can slide forward, putting the child seat within easy reach of a front passenger. Fold down the seatback, and it becomes a food or beverage tray. And the two second-row outboard seats can slide left or right. The resulting �wide mode� creates either more comfort for passengers, or more room for two additional child seats in the second row.
The Honda DVD Rear Entertainment System1 features a 9-inch LCD screen, and is standard on Touring models and available on EX-L models. All entertainment systems can be controlled by
a remote that stores securely overhead. Rear passengers will also find dedicated storage areas
for their handheld games and other electronics.
The Honda DVD Ultrawide Rear Entertainment System2 just might be as good as your own home theater. Play a DVD, plug in a camera or do both at the same time. And a true 5.1 surround sound system completes the mobile movie-theater experience (Touring Elite).
Rear passengers don�t ask for much. Just make them super comfortable, and give them an easy way in and out. To that end, we located the power sliding door switch right where a second-row sitter would expect to find it. The position of the second-row walk-in levers makes getting to the third row simple, while recline levers offer a quick way to ease back. And there�s one more convenience: a trash-bag ring, sized to use shopping bags.
The driver and front passenger get the royal treatment, too. The all-new Odyssey features more soft-touch surfaces for a more sophisticated feel. The driver settles into a seat with 10-way power adjustment, including power lumbar support (EX and above), while the passenger enjoys 4-way power adjustment and the heated seats get up to a comfortable temperature quickly (EX-L and above).
The third generation Japanese built Odyssey was the first full redesign of the Odyssey since its introduction in 1995. Going on sale in Japan in late 2003, and in Australia and many other countries in 2004, it continued with a 5-door body style, with a much sleeker, lower, and more car-like appearance. For the first time cruise-control appeared on the JDM Odyssey. The 4WD version has received the new DPS system. The seat folding mechanism was changed again. The height of the new Odyssey was lower than ever designed with multi-level parking in mind, particularly for Japan. The new Odyssey came with the Honda K24A i-VTEC engine, a 2.4 L unit producing 160 hp (119 kW); this was the same engine used in the CR-V and Accord. A 4WD version (RB2) came only with an automatic transmission, while the 2WD version came only with a continuously variable transmission, except Absolute.
The V6 engine was dropped completely. Instead, a 200 hp (149 kW) forced variant of the K24A engine was adopted for the sporty Absolute version (190 hp (142 kW) with 4WD), which was only equipped with an automatic transmission both the 2WD & 4WD variants. The sales for the fourth generation of the Odyssey in the JDM market started October 17, 2008. Honda will create the 2009 and 2010 JDM Odyssey on the same platform as the 2008, keeping many of the 5 door body style and a four cylinder engine.
The 2011 Honda Odyssey Price MSRP: $27,800 - $43,250
