20-300,000 family MPVs who are the most concerned: Odyssey vs. the game, the details are deep!
Hello everyone, today let's talk about the topic of family MPV that has been very popular recently. Now who doesn't have a second or third child, going out to travel, visiting relatives and friends, an MPV that can fit the whole family is becoming more and more essential. Odyssey and Sena are currently one of the most popular MPVs on the market, and Odyssey is the main high-end family, so who is more suitable for home use? Let's take a look at the technical details from the Odyssey Extreme Edition and the Sena Luxury Edition, and see who is the MPV that is really tailored for the family and more attentive?
Look at the appearance: Odyssey is fashionable and eye-catching, and Saina is stable and stylish
The 2024 Odyssey has a stylish exterior design and a sense of power, and it is an eye-catching presence when it goes out on the street. The Supreme Edition adds the Black Edition Phantom Night Package, which is blessed with various blackened elements, including a matte Berlin Black front grille, blackened chrome trim strips on the front grille, blackened reflective surfaces inside the LED headlights, etc., a knife-like three-dimensional embossed double waistline, and 18-inch wheels with high-end texture, which is really cool.
In contrast, Sena is slightly more conservative. The family design style is strong, the front of the car resembles a split front grille, and the emblem decoration is quite distinctive, with black decorative strips on both sides of the emblem and silver chrome decoration of the wing structure. Although it is not so eye-catching compared to the high-end sense of the Odyssey, it is also recognizable, and the stable style is more suitable for home use.
Test handling: Odyssey electric drive hybrid is flexible and efficient, and the output of Sena is smooth
Is the bigger the family MPV, the better? Not necessarily, it is more important to have flexible control and easy access for both male and female owners. The length, width and height of the Odyssey is 4861mm/1820mm/1712mm, the body size is just right, it is worth mentioning that the turning radius is only 5.4 meters, and it is called a flexible one, even in complex road conditions, turning around and attacking the corner is also a handful, and parking in the basement is quite worry-free. Moreover, the ground clearance is 126mm, which is stable to drive, and it is very convenient for the family to get on and off the car.
In addition to being agile and easy to drive, the Odyssey is also the most fun to drive electric hybrid MPV. It is equipped with Honda's third-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system, which is mainly electric drive, and the motor can be compared to V6 3.0L high-torque smooth acceleration, and the power is very easy to drive, and the fuel consumption can be as low as 5.88L/100km, which is more economical than the average fuel car, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the leader of the family MPV.
Looking at the Sena again, the whole system is equipped with a 2.5L petrol-electric hybrid system, matched with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission, the power output is smooth and linear, and there is no range anxiety. The length, width and height are 5165mm/1995mm/1765mm, the whole body is slightly larger than the Odyssey, and the turning radius reaches 5.5m, which means that it takes a longer distance to turn safely, which requires higher driving skills. In addition, the ground clearance of the Sena is 235mm, which has the advantage of improving the passability, but the disadvantage is that it affects the stability of the handling to a certain extent, and it is also difficult for the elderly and children to get on and off the car every day.
Exploring space: Odyssey is versatile and comfortable, and Sena is neat and practical
MPVs that are more in line with the family must be able to meet a variety of functional needs, and the space should be "varied" enough. This is the Odyssey's specialty, with a body of nearly 5 meters and an ultra-long wheelbase of 2900mm, the Honda MM design concept is taken to the extreme, achieving a very ample and flexible interior space, which is completely comparable to a larger MPV.
With a headroom of up to 990mm, it's just as spacious and comfortable for larger people. The seats are all leather, with a first-class texture and comfort, comparable to a large sofa in the living room. The second-row airline seats are also equipped with leg rests, so you don't have to worry about getting tired on long journeys. The class-leading double-cross ultra-long guide rail can complete the four-way movement of the seat, and the third row of magic seats can be completely flattened and flipped to create an exclusive fishing seat mode, focusing on a space that can be changed at will, and the internal space of the luggage compartment is regular, the longitudinal depth is enough, and the expandability is also very strong, just like a mobile home!
Many MPVs have to manually close the doors after getting into the car, which is somewhat laborious. The Odyssey also has Honda's world's first magic sensor door, which is more advanced than the existing electric side sliding door technology, as long as you have a smart car key, after entering the vehicle intelligent identification area, the door will automatically open and close with a simple gesture, which is not too trouble-free.
The length and wheelbase of the Sena are 5165mm and 3060mm respectively, but the headroom is only 940mm, which is more friendly to small people. The seats are a mix of genuine leather and imitation leather, and there are no leg rests like other regular MPVs. The third-row seats can also be folded and stowed under the trunk floor, and the second-row seats can be pushed forward to expand the trunk size. In addition, there are 19 cup holders in the cockpit, and if you go out with children, you can place water cups for daily household use, and this detail design is also very intimate.
Smarter: Odyssey is full of technology, and Sena is more simple
As a family MPV that keeps pace with the times, intelligent configuration is indispensable. The Odyssey is equipped with Honda's latest high-tech features, such as the Honda CONNNECT 3.0 and Honda SENSING safety systems. The 10.1-inch LCD screen, wireless charging pad and other designs are full of science and technology in the car, and more than 10 functions such as the intelligent switching system of high and low beams and digital key, remote operation of air conditioning, and intelligent voice recognition/expression interaction have been added.
The intelligent driving assistance system not only includes more than 10 functions such as ACC automatic cruise control system with LSF, but also adds a CTM rearview dynamic reminder function, which can detect vehicles or dynamic objects approaching in the blind spot behind through the detection radar, which is very useful for MPVs with large physique.
Saina is decent in terms of science and technology, and it is still more traditional function-oriented. The central control screen is an 8-inch screen, and the core configuration is equipped with an intelligent driving assistance system, with a full-speed following system, which can support lane keeping assist functions, which is a very practical configuration. However, there is only an ordinary reversing image, and there is no 360° panoramic image system equipped with the Odyssey, and the basement reversing needs to practice more skills. Of course, the Sena is not equipped with an on-board intelligent system, and I wonder if the future facelifted model will add the voice recognition operation function that young people now like.
Well, having said so much about the technical details, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of Odyssey and Sena. Both cars are good choices for family MPVs, although the official guide price of the Odyssey Supreme Edition and the Sena Luxury Edition is more than 300,000 yuan, but the landing price of the Odyssey is much more affordable, and the other versions of the Odyssey can basically be won for more than 200,000 yuan. It's better to take action than to be tempted, so let's go to the store now.
