Model overview
The Honda Odyssey is a minivan produced and sold by Japanese maker Honda as 1994 across fifth generations.
The Odyssey had initially been designed and engineered in Japan. The first generation was a smaller minivan, that was received well in Japan but less well received in North America. The first generation Odyssey was sold in Europe as the Honda Shuttle.
The following generations changed to reflect market fluctuations, and Honda created a factory in the U.S, including the strength to produce larger models. Following the model year 1999, Honda has sold a larger Odyssey in North America and a smaller Odyssey variant in Japan and other markets.
The Odyssey is available in five trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite. All Odysseys are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 (280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque) mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
