On December 27, Guangqi Honda's new Odyssey was officially launched, with a total of 7 models in the series, priced at 235,800-35.48 million yuan. The new car is fully equipped with the Honda i-MMD hybrid system, which will compete with the old rival Buick GL8 and the new rivals Toyota Xena and KiaGawa after the launch. In addition, Odyssey's "compatriot" model, the Alexand, will also be available this week.
From the appearance point of view, the new Odyssey is more "dignified and thick" than the old products, the middle network uses a larger area of the grille, and the overall shape of the front of the car is more square, the overall visual effect is more commercial. The overall side lines have not changed much, but due to the shape of the front, the front suspension has been shortened at the visual level, making the entire side lines more solid and full.
Due to the mid-term modification of the model, the new Odyssey has not changed much in size, the length/width/height are: 4861/1820/1712mm, the length is 14mm longer than the old model, and the wheelbase is unchanged (still 2900mm). Similar to the front of the car, the tail light is also "squareized", and the overall size of the taillights is larger and the chrome trim strips that run through the rear of the car are added, which enhances the business atmosphere and enhances the visual width.
If the changes in the exterior of the new Odyssey are not "earth-shaking", the interior can be described as obvious changes. The newly designed center console has added a whole piece of wood grain panels, which makes the interior atmosphere more elegant and solemn. In addition, the suspension central control large screen is also more technologically trendy, and the Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system has been upgraded, and the gear shift mechanism has also changed from the gear lever to the button shift. Overall, the changes in the new Odyssey from the inside out are to highlight the business style.
The seat still adopts the classic layout of 2+2+3 MPV, and the seat design continues the genes of the previous generation. The second row of seats has central armrests, aviation headrests and leg rests, while the third row of seats is flexible and can be completely hidden under the floor in the four-seat state, creating more ample trunk space and can also be reclined into a temporary large sofa for fishing/picnics.
In the power part, the new Odyssey is equipped with a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle engine + dual motors composed of the third-generation i-MMD hybrid system. Among them, the gasoline engine part provides 107kW maximum power and 175N·m peak torque; the motor pole can provide 135kW maximum power and 315N·m maximum torque; the system comprehensive maximum power is 158kW, and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.88L/100km.
