NEW ODYSSEY 2006..


Honda’s flagship offering receives a sporty facelift and new features and improvements. The newly-designed front and rear bumper give the Odyssey a sleek and strong profile. Its wider bumper apron and new floating chrome grill design add to the Odyssey’s prestige and sporty look. New side mirrors with signal lights combine with the new rear LED tail lights to provide better visibility and added safety.


The new Odyssey builds upon the heritage of previous models and provides an outstanding combination of safety, space and performance. The Odyssey’s ultra-low floor platform design, borne out of Honda’s trademark engineering innovation, gives it increased head room and generous space to fit any lifestyle.


The ultra-low floor platform also gives the Odyssey a lower centre of gravity to hug the road through tight curves for maximum driving stability and control. The 2.4-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine, delivering up to 160ps performance and 22.2kg-m torque, makes for an exhilarating drive. With its performance coupled with Sport Shift automatic transmission, the Odyssey feels like driving a sporty sedan.








Safety Performance

Honda's original G-CON (G-force Control) technology is incorporated to create a body with a crash safety design that is among the best in the world. It can withstand a 55 km/h full-frontal collision; a 64 km/h front offset collision, a 55 km/h side collision, and a 50 km/h rear collision. Furthermore, in addition to a high level of self-protection, the vehicle's crash compatibility body reduces damage inflicted toward other vehicles. The ABS (anti-lock braking system), EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution) and BA (Brake Assist) provide active protection when braking regardless of road and weather conditions.


The Odyssey is equipped with dual SRS airbags and side airbags in the front and side curtain airbag system for the 1st to 3rd row seats that help reduce head injuries in the event of a side collision. Front-row seats are fitted with 3-point, load limiter-equipped, and pretensioner ELR seatbelts. The driver's side belt is equipped with a lap pretensioner on the outer end of the lap belt, in addition to the shoulder belt pretensioner, for improved occupant retention in both the pelvic and thoracic regions.





Driving Performance

The 2.4-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine combines Honda's Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) with Variable Timing Control (VTC), which optimizes intake valve timing in response to engine load. It delivers a maximum of 160ps at 5500 rpm and 22.2 kg-m maximum at 4500 rpm. Five-speed Sport Shift automatic transmission delivers smooth high-speed cruising while contributing to improved fuel economy. Sport Shift automatic system also allows flexibility in switching between automatic and manual shift modes.


The Odyssey’s independent double-wishbone with coil spring suspension ensures straight-line stability and outstanding ride comfort. A more compact powertrain and Variable-steering Gear Ratio (VGR) give the new Odyssey a class-leading minimum turning radius of just 5.4m.







Available in five attractive colours, the new Honda Odyssey also features new choices for interior colour schemes. Individuals who want a sportier look will prefer the black interior scheme that is paired with the Alabaster Silver Metallic or Premium White Pearl exterior colours.

Alternatively, those who want to portray an elegant, prestigious appearance will prefer the beige interior with the Nighthawk Black, Grayish Mauve Metallic and Carbon Bronze exterior colours.
