At the end of the 8th century BC, the ancient Greek poet Homer composed an epic poem under the name of the Odyssey. In 2001, the United States launched a Mars rover called the Odyssey. Four years ago, two games were released with Nintendo Switch, the flagship console of the Nintendo Era, Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness and Super Mario: Odyssey.
The word "Odyssey", in addition to describing "arduous trek, long journey", also means "return, wisdom, luck, bravery, and strength". And since the poet Homer, everything that has been named "Odyssey" has also been pinned on high hopes while having a hint of romanticism, just like the Honda Odyssey.
Brothers, it's my favorite MPV test ride again... No, during the test drive session, I believe that many people's first reaction when they saw GAC Honda's new Odyssey was the same as mine: "Wow, handsome guy who are you?" ”
In fact, in the strict sense of the new car is only the current Odyssey mid-term modification model, you know, is the "exterior interior configuration upgrade, the power remains unchanged" feeling, but it is undeniable that this adjustment does give you a new feeling.
For example, if I had a cash odyssey at home, I would say every time I went out with my family, "Dad, or you can drive it." No way, after all, the design of the current odyssey is already using the aesthetic standards of several years ago, not that I am spitting on its old-fashioned... Well, I'm just spitting it out, at least for the post-90s, that set of design styles is indeed still some... Well... Not stylish enough.
But now, hey, this guy is handsome! You know, for an MPV model, it is more difficult to get involved with the word "handsome", after all, its own body size is there, and Japanese cars have won with "practical" rather than "design" for a long time.
But in the past two years, whether it is a car or a motorcycle launched by Honda, you will find that their design is quite pleasing to young people - Honda, it is supported!
The new front face design is full of power, with LED headlights and streamer turn signals, the entire front of the car looks very powerful and exquisite, especially the new car also added an 18-inch blackened aluminum alloy wheels, with its own wide encirclement, you don't say, if you go to change a low lying, there is really a taste of JDM! So if I'm out with my family for a brand new odyssey, I'm sure I'll say, "Dad, I'll do it."
The "Magic Induction Door" configuration of the new car is still equipped, when opening the door, do not have to touch the door, just place your hand above the door handle and gently wave the gesture to control the opening and closing of the door. But in a real car environment, I personally still think that it would be faster to directly pull the car door by hand, this function... Well... Anyway, just... It's quite high-tech...
However, the appointment lock car this function is really very convenient, like the previous lock car we also need to wait for the electric sliding door to be completely closed before locking the car, now just hold the key to press the button, the electric sliding door will automatically lock after closing, after the successful lock of the car there will be sound and light prompts, you want the "sense of security", it understands.
Oh yes, the new Odyssey is also equipped with a kick-type induction tailgate, which is not available in the current series! In the future, it will be much more convenient to carry things with both hands to open the tailgate.
After opening the tailgate, if the third row of seats is not flat, it is still possible to put two large suitcases, and this "magic seat" can still be put backwards as a fishing chair, or the sentence: Fishing brother never air force!
At a glance, there are three changes in the interior, the first is that the three-frame steering wheel after "slimming" is more exquisite, the second is that the gear lever has been replaced by a button type, and the third is that the embedded central control screen has been changed to a suspended central control screen. After the redesign, a relatively large storage box was added above the center console, which can be used to put tissues and so on.
The central control system has introduced the Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guidance interconnection system, which can realize voice assistant, car home interconnection, mobile phone remote vehicle condition confirmation, OTA online upgrade, etc., and is a comprehensive upgrade for navigation systems, entertainment systems, electronic payments, Wi-Fi hotspots, the overall smart a lot, but also easy to use a lot, unlike before, at most a music player. But the current owner is actually nothing sour, the times are progressing, buy early and enjoy early, my family's old car is now a music player.
As for the seating space, there is really nothing to say, "a large sofa that is so soft that it is not like words", the second row of seats with extra long slide rails, the second row of electrically adjustable backrests and leg rests, and the head to shoulder part can also be manually adjusted separately, which can always make people find the most comfortable position.
Adjust the second row of seats to a more suitable position, the leg space in the back two rows can have a palm of space, as a major feature of the MPV model, you sit in the third row will definitely not be like the 7-seat SUV "suffocation", whether it is head space or horizontal space, there will be no sense of depression.
And the storage space and charging interface in the car are quite rich, you can put down the water cup in the convenient place where you sit, or charge the mobile phone. Similarly, at the top of the second row of cars, you can also directly operate functions such as sunroofs and air conditioners, and the air conditioning outlets of the front and rear rows that are "full" can also allow the "big man" of Odyssey to cool/heat in a very short time.
The existence of segmented sunroofs and huge size windows allows you to get a very pleasant driving experience in any seat inside the Odyssey, but I think it is actually possible to add a sunshade to the high-end model, because the window of this car is really too big, and when we test drive in Sanya, the sun can always find the right angle to pierce your eyes.
Power performance is still a familiar taste, the third generation of i-MMD hybrid system equipped with Odyssey, the biggest highlight is the use of motor drive-based, powerful torque output so that the car "towing with the mouth" without pressure, but obviously faster is never a MPV target, the core advantage of the i-MMD hybrid system is undoubtedly to make the Odyssey ride quieter, smoother and more comfortable, in addition, the ultra-low fuel consumption performance is the icing on the cake.
This hybrid system is composed of a 2.0L self-priming engine + front motor, the comprehensive maximum power is 135kW, the maximum torque of the motor is 315N·m, and because the characteristics of the motor can burst out the maximum torque all the time, so even if the start or climb these are very torque-eating places, Odyssey is still not afraid.
In general, this hybrid system is driven by an electric motor most of the time, and only when it is accelerated or at high speed will the engine participate in direct drive, and the generator will be driven to power the battery in the feed state. So you can see that the engine is almost always working in the most efficient range. When you drive the Odyssey, you will find that no matter how you step on the accelerator, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers basically "can't go up" until six o'clock.
In addition, this form of work also gives the Odyssey a great advantage in quietness, when the engine is not involved, the car is almost indistinguishable from the tram. The new car also has a sound insulation treatment for double-sided sliding door glass and triangular window glass, and increases the thickness of the tailgate glass, and the wheel hub has also been upgraded to a noise-cancelling wheel hub, which cancels out the resonance sound of the air column through the built-in resonator.
Really, sitting in the back row of the Odyssey in terms of practical experience, its tranquility is absolutely excellent, because the front row is in a state of rapid acceleration, and occasionally some engine roars are introduced from the front of the car, but in the back row, it is almost completely with the noise Sayoodbye, whether it is wind noise, tire noise or engine noise are well suppressed, as if it is a small world of its own.

Many mid-to-high-end MPV models like to call themselves "land business class" when advertising, but I think that "business class" is alienated for most people, and many times some unnecessary rituals will only make people feel more tired. We still need a good partner who knows what you think, understands what you need, and gives you what you want, the Odyssey car, it is not fancy, but when you sit in it, it will be very kind.
Since last year, the proportion of MPV household purchases has exceeded 70%, of which the proportion of more than 200,000 high-end MPV is also gradually increasing, which means that the future trend of MPV must be household and high-end. As the first joint venture brand to enter the domestic market, Odyssey has entered the Chinese market since 2002, and after 19 years of development, it has evolved through 5 generations and has more than 650,000 users so far. In the first 11 months of this year, Odyssey's total sales increased by 7.1% year-on-year, and after this upgrade, its product strength has been enhanced in all aspects, but let's look forward to the price first.
