Obviously, even in the domestic joint venture MPV market, GAC Honda's sales of the Odyssey have always been suppressed by the Buick GL8; even in some months, sales are still inferior to those of their "brother" Dongfeng Honda. But it is undeniable that after all, it is the earliest batch of joint venture MPV that entered the domestic sales, and the Odyssey is also an orthodox English translation product of the overseas prototype "Odyssey". This makes the level of popularity and appeal of the Odyssey in China still at the forefront of the same level. Moreover, even if the joint venture MPV market is seriously "internally rolled" today, when the news of the Odyssey ushering in the restructuring and upgrading comes, it is enough to make it the focus of external attention.
Thanks to the new Guangqi Honda Odyssey is about to be officially listed at the end of this month; a few days ago, netizens have photographed its real car figure in the local 4S store. So, after the revamped odyssey, has the strength been improved? Let's take a look.
As mentioned above, after all, it is an orthodox English translation of overseas prototypes; the exterior design of the new Odyssey will also follow the design of overseas versions. Its front face will be replaced by a blackened panel covering the bottom, and then a large grille filled with slender chrome. In addition, the headlights of the new Odyssey will also use a full LED dress; combined with the penetrating integrated down-dam air intake, it not only makes it appear more atmospheric, but also a little more sharp.
On the side of the car, perhaps due to cost considerations in the mid-term redesign, the new Odyssey did not make too much adjustment to the side face. However, it is reported that its electric sliding door will also use a new opening gesture. In addition, the choice of wheel hub has also become the same "pentagram" style as the new Accord/Yingshipai.
In the rear part of the car, the tail lights of the new Odyssey will be designed with a new style, and the LED light source inside will also be rearranged to give it a sci-fi aesthetic that echoes the front face. The upward trend is more intense high turbulence, plus the bilateral chrome exhaust pendant surrounded by it, which effectively enhances its overall motion effect.
The line of sight turns to the car, the first thing that introduces the curtain is the newly enabled suspension central control screen, with LCD instruments and button replacement mechanisms, the scientific and technological atmosphere is still relatively strong. Moreover, such a scientific and technological atmosphere is also accompanied by the upgrade of the Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system, rather than just staying in the indicative "fancy style".
In terms of space, the new Odyssey has a length, width and height of 4861/1820/1705mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm. Compared with the current version, the length has been increased to a certain extent. Moreover, it is reported that the front/rear of the new Odyssey will be upgraded with double laminated glass to make it more quiet. In addition, it has an upgraded electric induction tailgate. Therefore, the passenger space and convenience of new cars have been significantly improved.
In terms of power, the new Odyssey will be equipped with a third-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system based on a 2.0L engine, which combines a maximum power of 215 horsepower and matches the E-CVT gearbox. In terms of chassis, it is still a combination of front McPherson independent suspension + rear torque beam non-independent suspension.
Overall, although the new Odyssey is only a mid-term redesign, its interior/exterior design, as well as space and configuration adjustments, are still relatively in place. So, dear officials, will you look forward to the official launch of the new Odyssey?
