More than 100 years ago, the poet Rimbaud wrote a sentence on the wall of the University of Paris – "Live Elsewhere".
So he spent his whole life thinking about the meaning of life.
Later, this phrase was used by Milan Kundera as the name of his new book, inspiring people to continue to explore the true meaning of life.
Some people think that life should be on the road, to explore, to discover and look forward to.
There are also people who believe that life should be a continuation of the family, to be cherished, to be embraced and loved.
But no matter how we dance between "this place" and "elsewhere," we will eventually return to life itself.
Therefore, when the new Odyssey came to us and took us to the sanya sea to feel its changes, I also felt the expectation of a life advancement.
As we all know, this year is a "big year" for MPV. The full explosion of demand for high-end family cars has prompted more and more brands to join the market that has not occupied the focus of consumption in the past.
The new Odyssey wasn't my first high-end home MPV I test-drove this year, but it was one that impressed me immensely.
The most obvious change is the new Odyssey look. The front face is more atmospheric, and the wheel hub is more stylish.
Don't underestimate these two points. The former is the center of gravity of the vision, and the latter is a testament to taste.
If you want to talk about the finishing touch, it is undoubtedly the addition of streamer turn lights and new LED headlights, exquisite but sharp, peaceful with a wise eye.
Of course, compared with the internal evolution of the new Odyssey, the reconstruction of the appearance also had to give up the "C position".
The addition of the new Honda Connect 3.0 system is standard in all honda cars this year. In the era of intelligence, Honda needs to tear off the stubborn, conservative label, what can be more than a new set of car machines?
Aside from full electrification, I'm afraid I can't think of any other ideas.
Of course, full electrification, in fact, the new Odyssey has also been done. Long before the arrival of the new Odyssey, Hiromoto had actually discontinued the pure fuel version of the Odyssey, and the whole series pushed sharp and hybrid.
The most immediate benefit is that the fuel consumption has been greatly reduced, and the driving texture has also been greatly improved.
But the new Odyssey isn't just about that. Therefore, it brings double-layer soundproof glass in the back row, and even the rear glass window, which is almost difficult for everyone to detect, has been thickened.
The benefits cannot be said to be immediate, but at least they can bring us spiritual comfort.
Frankly speaking, the sound insulation of the Odyssey is not the best in its class. But it was enough for the rear passengers to fall asleep at 120km/h.
On this point, the media counterparts who did not stay up late to write like I did the night before the test drive had the most say.
I, on the other hand, strive for every moment to feel the driving pleasure brought to me by the new Odyssey.
Yes, I was right, and you heard it right. It's "driving fun."
Some people will say that finding driving pleasure in MPV is a middle-aged person's pretense. But Honda doesn't think so.
A "big guy" with a car length of more than 4.8 meters and a wheelbase of 2.9 meters makes people have the freedom to drive "light as a swallow".
With a turning radius of 5.4 meters, it is the pride of Honda engineers. "You see, who said MPV can't be split?"
Also pleasing is the new Odyssey configuration upgrade, kick induction tailgate, reservation of car lock, mobile phone wireless charging and so on.
Of course, the Space Magician's talent points were still full. Especially the three rows that I deliberately sat in, many larger MPV with a wheelbase of 3 meters, could not be so comfortable.
Undoubtedly, this is the charm of the new Odyssey. Let the front, middle and back rows of "equal rights", the family can stretch out and ride, and the tail box also leaves plenty of space.
Having said all this, have I forgotten to talk about life itself?
No, it seems to me that the new Odyssey, like all those who know how to introspect from time to time, has a soul of perseverance.
Odyssey knows that he may still be a little bit away from perfection.
Therefore, it will seize the opportunity of each upgrade and continue to bring us the level of enjoyment.
If we count from the beginning of the generation, the new odyssey we have opened today has completely changed from the beginning.
Power upgrade, comfort improvement, intelligent advancement. The only constant is that it brings a thoughtful experience to the family.
This is like every dad around us who works hard for the family, even if he can't escape the fate of continuous business trips and staying up late with his hair. But they will still silently offer their share of responsibility before the mortgage comes every month.
Yes, that's life. Although it is inevitably a little dark, the phnom penh behind the dark clouds is therefore dazzling.
In the new Odyssey, we can find driving values for life advancement.
Not only for themselves, but also for their families, to earn the yearning for the future life, to win the tomorrow worth looking forward to.
