In the past two years, the MPV segment of China's auto market has ushered in explosive growth, mainstream joint ventures and new energy brands have entered the game to grab this cake, as the "leading boss" in the home MPV, Honda Odyssey obviously does not want to lose a favorable position, they are also constantly making up for shortcomings to conform to the trend, this is not 2022 Odyssey with a heavy upgrade to renew.
Compared with the old Odyssey, the 2022 Odyssey will give people a bright feeling in appearance, such as replacing the larger hexagonal grille and the new led light group, as well as using many thick black chrome trim strips to match, making the entire front of the car more refined.
The same is true for the sides and tail, without too many cumbersome elements, the more slender black LED taillights and the new 18-inch black dense strip wheels can immediately set off a high-level sense of sport, and the whole car looks fuller and sportier from any angle, which is also the trend of the Honda family's mid-term redesign.
As for the layout changes of the interior, it is not so obvious in the appearance, and the new Accord, the type is almost the same, there is no small improvement in intelligence and texture, for example, in the workmanship material, more leather is used to cover, coupled with a large area of wood grain trim, it looks very high-grade, the only deficiency is that the interior color is too single, there are still some old-fashioned pure black or brown black, if there are more fashionable colors, it is better.
In terms of intelligent configuration, this time a new 7-inch LCD instrument + 10.1-inch suspension central control screen, embedded under the screen of the latest Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guidance interconnection system, can achieve speech recognition, remote control, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades and other mainstream functions.
In addition, the gear handle has also been replaced with the same electronic button type of Accord, and it is also equipped with driver assistance features such as full-speed adaptive cruise system, active braking, 360-degree panoramic imaging, and lane keeping assistance.
As a family MPV, the interior space is the most important, and the 2022 Odyssey still continues its strong skills in this regard.
In the two positions of the driver's seat, there are a lot of storage spaces, such as the press-type cup holder on the left side of the steering wheel, the hidden storage compartment in the co-pilot center console, which also has a USB charging port, which can put down a mobile phone to charge, and the wireless charging panel and two press-type cup holders have been added under the center console.
In the second row, two separate "first class" seats are still the highlight, with aviation-grade headrests, adjustable shoulder and electrically adjustable leg rests, plus a small foldable table and seat heating ventilation, so that passengers in the second row can enjoy the journey in the most comfortable position.
Not only that, this time also added more sense of honor to the passengers in the second row, the new brought the official called "magic induction door" gesture induction electric sliding door, only by gently sliding the induction area with the hand, the door can be automatically opened, and the probability of power triggering is very high.
As for the third exclusion, in addition to meeting the daily comfortable ride, it can also be folded and hidden into the platform, forming a huge fully flat trunk, and the luggage of the family can be completely loaded.
In addition, the two seats in the third row can also be placed in reverse as fishing stools, which is basically a function that most models in the same class do not have, so it is these advantages that make Odyssey the king of the MPV at home.
But don't forget its solid power technology, as a family car, comfort and enough saving are two topics that cannot be escaped, and Honda's third-generation i-MMD hybrid system is for this purpose.
The 2022 Honda Odyssey still uses a powertrain composed of a 2.0L self-priming engine + motor, the comprehensive maximum power can reach 215 horsepower, the performance meets most of the use scenarios, coupled with the initial stage of the motor power and the application of the E-CVT transmission, the Odyssey is very smooth to drive, and the acceleration does not have the slightest feeling of setback.
The chassis performance is also very good, first of all, the road sense is very clear, so that the driver can brake more timely, and the brake void is relatively shallow, and there is brake feedback when stepping on the brake.
In addition, although the 2022 Honda Odyssey does not use a separate rear suspension, it can filter out most of the bumps because of the soft adjustment of the head end of the suspension system, and even the rear row will not have too much shaking.
At the same time, the 2022 Honda Odyssey also made great efforts in sound insulation and noise reduction, the windows of the whole car were replaced with double laminated glass, and the tires were also replaced by Yokohama's dB silent tires, which were muted by adding a resonator inside the rim, and the overall NVH effect was greatly improved compared to the old model.
Through a short test drive, it can be clearly found that Japanese brands are now paying more and more attention to listening to the opinions of users, and more and more such actions can be seen in the 2022 Honda Odyssey, because following the needs of consumers to do just-needed MPV is the right choice, and the 2022 Honda Odyssey is still the way everyone should have in their homes.
