The all-new Odyssey was revealed, and the "nanny car" was transformed into a sporty model, with a 2.0L or 2.4L hybrid
We see many celebrities walking the red carpet and going to what business activities, and the pick-up and drop-off is often an MPV, and it is often the kind of high-end model that will cover all aspects, and this kind of car is often called a nanny car. In fact, this kind of all-round nanny car is not only affordable for celebrities, but we ordinary people also have their own "nanny car", among which the best reputation is the Honda Odyssey created by Honda.
The last time Guangqi Honda upgraded the design of the Odyssey was more than two years ago, it was a mid-term facelift of the facelift, and as is customary, it is time for this MPV to be iterated. In fact, the Odyssey is divided into two main versions in global sales, one is mainly for North American sales, and the other is an international version for global sales, and the latter has always been sold in the domestic market, that is, the fifth-generation Odyssey RC that will arrive in 2023. In other words, the current Odyssey has been sold in China for a full decade, and it has completed two major facelifts in '17 and '21, and the facelifted version was even imported to the Japanese domestic market in April last year.
The new generation Odyssey has been unveiled in several versions, but they are all from third-party designers, including one model with an electrified exterior design, which uses hidden electric door handles like an electric car, and it has a folio design that fits the B-pillar. At the same time, the car's signature small-sized grille continues in the front disposition, blended with the headlights through a chrome trim strip, and its styling will be reminiscent of the previous generation Honda Civic. At the same time, the lower grille also achieves horizontal penetration in the decorative structure, and brings out the avant-garde effect through longitudinal fog lamps and upward expansion.
In addition to this version, we also saw the appearance of a high-performance trim version with a red badge and a Type R nameplate. This version of the Odyssey takes the new generation of family headlight design from the Honda Accord, and continues the traditional small-size grille, but from the honeycomb grille to the black paint, as well as the large lower air intakes that can achieve turbulence diffusion, these details and functional area changes can enhance the overall display of the car's sporty style.
In addition to the sports tyres and red calipers, the car has added a separate spoiler panel from the front lip to the side skirts to the rear bumper, and the rear of the car also has a C-shaped rear deflector that echoes the front face, as well as the same mid-mounted exhaust pipe design as many Type R performance cars. Surprisingly, the extended D-pillar and rear side windows will have a floating roof-like effect, and the black paint will be visually integrated with the rear windscreen.
Although there are very few actual car spy photos of the new generation of models, judging from the many model iterations completed by Honda, Honda will begin to complete the popularization of many in-vehicle systems such as the new generation Honda CONNECT and Honda SENSING, and the Odyssey is also expected to obtain them in the iteration.
Regarding power, the Honda Odyssey has achieved the coverage of the third-generation i-MMD petrol-electric hybrid system in the last major facelift of the current model, as far as Honda's current arrangement at the power level is concerned, the new car is still expected to use a 2.0L or 2.4L natural year aspirated engine to match the dual motors, and the discussion on the Internet about the return of the 1.5T model may just stay in the discussion.
Write at the end
The Odyssey has long been regarded as the epitome of IKEA, meeting the needs of business travel and supporting families with comfortable and robust driving feedback. Although there is still a lot of key information about the iterative prospect of this model has not yet been revealed, at the moment when the domestic MPV market is ushering in another spring, the well-known Honda Odyssey may be able to rely on this replacement of the old and the new to fight a bloody way in the "family nanny car" market.
