Overview
2008 Odyssey
When Honda engineers set out to design the current generation Honda Odyssey, they faced the challenge of improving on a vehicle that has been widely acknowledged for setting the standard for the minivan segment in terms of performance, car-like ride and handling, top-level safety ratings, overall refinement and its spacious and uniquely versatile interior with the industry's first fold-away 3rd-Row Magic Seat®.
They also recognized the unique quality of the Odyssey in appealing not only to the customers' desire for superior utility, but also for its unique style and fun-to-drive character. One expression of this unique quality is the tendency for Odyssey owners to refer to their vehicles as "the Odyssey," not "the minivan".
For it's third generation, Honda delivered a completely re-engineered Odyssey: a clean-sheet design that improved upon the Odyssey's existing strengths while providing an added dimension of emotional appeal and aspirational quality through enhancements in styling, premium features, advanced technology and driving performance – built on the foundation of Honda quality, safety and environmental leadership.
The result is an Odyssey that raises the bar not only in the traditional measurements of minivan performance – safety, space, comfort and utility – but goes a step beyond to deliver a more personally rewarding experience for the passengers and driver alike; a vehicle that changes the definition of minivan excellence through attention to detail in every aspect of the vehicle's performance, function and character. It's not just a minivan…it's an Odyssey.
Highlights Of The Third Generation Honda Odyssey:
- Best-in-class performance and fuel efficiency through advanced powertrain technology;
- Enhanced handling and ride quality that approaches the level of a luxury-class sedan;
- Advanced safety technology and performance;
- A sophisticated, stylish and versatile interior;
- Expressive exterior styling;
- Improved interior packaging for increased comfort and utility;
- Exclusive entertainment and information technologies; and
- The Touring model takes the premium quality of the Odyssey to an even higher level with unique features and technology not seen before in the minivan segment.
