In recent years, families responding to national policies have given birth to two children, and the competition in the home MPV market has become increasingly fierce, whether it is Toyota's Xena or Korean Jiahua or the American Buick GL8, German Weiran are the masters of their respective brands. At the same time, the performance of veteran players will naturally attract the attention of consumers, as a well-deserved classic model in the Honda series, GAC Honda Odyssey has also been improved, in order to remind opponents that their swords are not old.
In terms of appearance, the classic front design is continued, the front cover with rich lines highlights the sense of power of the whole car, and the through-line chrome decorative strips and hexagonal grille complement each other to make the front of the car more dynamic and three-dimensional. Led headlights on both sides are shining brightly, the addition of front cameras and millimeter-wave radar is clearly for the driver assistance system, and the new family design language all highlights its toughness.
Coming to the side, the length, width and height of the whole car are 4861/1820/1712mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm. There is no difference in size from the previous model. In terms of tires, the brand is the Yokohama ADVAN series, which measures 225/50 R18, and the eye-catching thing is that the wheels are designed with blackening, obviously to add some sporty atmosphere, and the visual effect with the dark body is excellent.
In fact, the head and tail of the Odyssey are the most recognizable part of the vehicle, and the boomerang rear LED taillights are matched with the same penetrating chrome design elements as the front of the car, as if it is the business card of the car.
In terms of the interior, at a glance, it seems that there is no obvious difference from the previous model, and what can be recognized at a glance is the change of the three-frame steering wheel, and the small gear of the front model has also become a button-type gear shift mechanism. The 7-inch LCD dashboard with the 10.1-inch central control screen can only be regarded as decent in the current large-screen world. The car machine system is the same honda CONNECT3.0 intelligent guide interconnection for the Civic in addition to daily navigation, road information display, rescue calls and other functions also support Carlife function, in addition to the whole car is also equipped with the standard Internet of Vehicles and support OTA upgrade.
In terms of space, it has always been the strength of Odyssey, first of all, the cup holder on the air conditioner outlet on the left side of the steering wheel is very useful, and thanks to the upward movement of the gear shift mechanism, the front floor space has a lot of storage space, which is convenient and practical. In addition to this, the leather seat stitches of Odyssey are solid and very soft, the headrests are of good thickness and the seat cushions are reasonable in length and support ESC.
The second row of seats has always been the essence of MPV models, not only soft material selection but also leg drag and even support front and rear/lateral movement, convenient for three rows of passengers to get on the car, it can be said that it is quite OK. Although the space of the third row of seats is not as good as that of the front row, but thanks to the practical and flexible space of the second row of seats, there is still a lot of room for operation, and when the third row of seats is put away, the trunk space is also very impressive, interestingly, the three rows of seats can also be folded back into a fishing stool, so that the family goes out fishing for a picnic or something is very convenient.
At the same time, the electric tailbox function added by the previous model compared to the current Odyssey is very intimate.
In terms of power, the current Odyssey is equipped with the third generation of i-MMD hybrid system, the maximum power is 158kw (146 horsepower), the peak torque is 175nm, and the total torque of the motor is 315nm.
In general, GAC Toyota Odyssey is very competitive in terms of appearance, interior, and especially space utilization, although the whole vehicle looks small, but the advantages that Odyssey is good at are often the most needed by home users. As for the chassis texture and NVH performance that need to be improved on the previous model, although it has not been actually experienced, if Guangqi Honda pays enough attention to consumer demands, it will definitely improve, and if you have more family members and like the performance of Odyssey's space "magician", it will be a very good choice.
