The mid-term redesign of the Odyssey has been launched, and this model has been targeted in terms of appearance, interior, seat comfort, etc., which can be said to be the expectation of everyone. However, if we compare the price and configuration, we see that the new model has not improved much in terms of cost performance, and due to the adjustment of the price system, it is difficult to buy a satisfactory Odyssey within 300,000 yuan in the future. Today we will compare what is the difference between the new and old odyssey?
Since the welfare version of the model is based on the addition of telescopic electric seats on the basis of some models, so this model will not be analyzed today.
First, let's analyze the comparison between the various classes of the new Odyssey and the old model. Although the new Odyssey, like the old model, has launched 5 configurations, the price system of the model has changed, with 255,800 yuan less of the enjoyable version of the car and an additional 285,800 yuan of the premium version.
Let's first compare the configuration differences of the entry-level models. The new Odyssey entry-level model was renamed the Joy Edition, and the price increased by 6,000 yuan compared to the old Shuxiang Edition, but the configuration was improved by a certain extent, using 215/60 R17-inch tires, automatic parking, 7-inch LCD meters, far and near LED headlights and multi-layer soundproof glass. However, the keyless entry function is only available in the passenger seat, and the co-pilot function is castrated. From the perspective of the upgraded configuration, it is still worthy of the 6,000 yuan budget, after all, the tire size and LED headlights of the old car owners are provided, and the sound insulation glass of the whole car can also improve the sound insulation quietness of the car, so the upgrade of this model is still good.
Let's look at the smart version model priced at 275,800 yuan, and the configuration of this model has risen and fallen. Added induction type electric trunk, 7-inch LCD meter, mobile phone wireless charging, central control screen from 8 inches to 10.1 inches, support navigation, roadside assistance, mobile phone Interconnection, voice recognition and car networking functions, far and near LED headlights and the whole car sound insulation glass. However, the front radar, electric sunroof, electric sliding door on the left, keyless entry from the whole car to the front row, electric adjustment of the driver's seat, heating of the front seat, and front makeup lights have been reduced. At the same price, I personally believe that this model does not have much improvement in configuration, especially the lack of an electric sliding door, seat heating and other functions, so that consumers can choose very tangled.
If you compare the 285,800 yuan of the premium version model in detail, these missing configurations are all equipped, and it can be seen that the premium version is the upgraded model of the old wisdom version, but the price has increased by 10,000 yuan.
The 299,800 yuan Yaoxiang version of the model, compared with the old premium version increased the budget of 5,000 yuan, but in exchange for 18-inch tires, memory function of the electric trunk, 7-inch LCD instrument, front mobile phone wireless charging, 10.1-inch central control screen, LED high beam, LED daytime running lights, the whole car sound insulation glass and so on. It can be seen that the upgrade of this model is still relatively satisfactory.
The top of the supreme version is also increased by 5,000 yuan budget, the increased configuration and the Yaoxiang version increased almost the same, here will not be repeated.
From the comparison of the configuration of the new Odyssey with the old model, the upgrade of the entry-level version of the enjoyable version and the high-end enjoyment version is still worth affirming, but the change in the configuration of the previous sales force of the smart version model is somewhat disappointing, the configuration has increased or decreased, and if you want to get a rich configuration, you can only buy a higher priced premium version of the model.
When analyzing the new Odyssey configuration, we also realized another problem, that is, if we buy a car in full, the budget of less than 300,000 yuan is already difficult to buy Odyssey, and only the lowest-equipped Enjoyment edition can be achieved. Take the low-end smart version of the model, priced at 275,800 yuan, including 24,500 yuan of purchase tax, 1,100 yuan of compulsory traffic insurance, 480 yuan of car and boat fees and about 7,000 yuan of insurance costs, the landing price of this model is about 310,000 yuan.
And we see that the old Odyssey not only has a discount, the price of the smart version of the model is about 260,000 yuan after the discount, so within 300,000 years of the old Odyssey has 3 models of the configuration can be selected. So for many home users, it is more difficult to choose a cheap odyssey.
Finally, here is another spit that I think the old Odyssey should be upgraded but there is no upgrade, I hope that the manufacturer can continue to improve when the future changes.
First, although the new Odyssey has finally replaced the mechanical shift mechanism of the previous model with a button-type electronic shift mechanism, the distribution of driving mode switching functions is still very messy. We know that in other Honda hybrid models, the driving mode switching function is below the gear shift mechanism, while the Odyssey Eco mode button and sport mode button are arranged in the lower left of the steering wheel, while the EV mode button is set below the center console, and the operation of these buttons is not very convenient.
The second is that the storage table of the previous model can be retracted, and if the storage table is pulled out, it will be more convenient to take the items. However, the new model may be the reason for the wireless charging function, and it is regrettable to abandon this function.
The third is that the new model still does not provide a spare tire, because the hybrid system battery occupies the position of the spare tire, so the old Odyssey canceled the configuration of the vehicle spare tire, but we see that the new Odyssey still has not solved this problem, which is often long-distance travel users, there will still be some worries.
Of course, from a personal point of view, the new odyssey is indeed more beautiful, and the refinement of the interior is obviously improved, and the retractable water cup holder next to the steering wheel and the storage compartment with the wood art material of the co-pilot's seat have enhanced the sense of premium and practicality in the car. So for those who like Odyssey, this model is still worth recommending.
