    Honda Odyssey 2018

    Honda Odyssey 2018

    FROM
    $18,150

    The 2018 Honda Odyssey range of configurations is currently priced from $20,990.

    Our most recent review of the 2018 Honda Odyssey resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributor Dan Pugh had this to say at the time: Despite only having seven seats, this people mover should be favoured for its spaciousness, safety and practicality. If you ask my kids, the two captains chairs alone pushes this people mover into gold-class territory. Its ride was surprisingly good, but if driving characteristics are high on your wish list, I'd be looking elsewhere...

    This is what Dan Pugh liked most about this particular version of the Honda Odyssey: Spacious interior , Great ride and handling, Good looking people-mover

    The 2018 Honda Odyssey carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Honda Odyssey 2018 FAQs

    Should I buy a Honda Odyssey?

    The issue of a lack of performance from the Honda’s 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine is one that has been noted in the past, David. It stems not from the fact that it’s a four-cylinder, rather the way it has been tuned and specified at the factory. Like a lot of Honda engines, the engine was designed to deliver good horsepower and high revs and, while that makes for a sporty feel in the right car, it does nothing for the Odyssey’s role as a people-mover.

    The root problem here is that the engine is tuned to make its maximum torque (the force that actually accelerates the car) at 4000rpm. Combine that with the odd nature of the standard CVT transmission and you had a recipe for a car that could feel quite lethargic around town. Throw in a full complement of six bodies and their luggage, and things only got worse.

    Unfortunately, there’s no real way around this. You could have the engine retuned with an aftermarket chip in the computer, but it may not do very much except increase fuel consumption. At that same time, you could wave goodbye to any remaining factory warranty as it applied to the driveline. Manufacturers don’t like customers tinkering with that stuff and will usually claim that the modifications contributed to the mechanical failure.

    All that being said, I have heard of people `chipping’ the Odyssey’s engine. But of all the examples I’ve seen, the net gain was just 11 or 12 or so kiloWatts; not enough to warrant the cost or transform the vehicle in any major way. Even then, I’d imagine the extra power to be high in the rev range, not down low where you want it.

    Honda Odyssey 2018 Interior

    Honda’s Odyssey is, unsurprisingly for a people mover, spacious and practical on the inside. As our review images show, leather seats can be had on the top-spec VTi-L trim, which is also adorned with captain’s chairs in the second row and a foldaway three-seat bench in the rear. While the seats are comfortable, the dashboard design of the Honda Odyssey is starting to age due to its hard plastics and lack of storage bins. Without a centre console, only the glovebox, cupholders and a small storage tray for your smartphone can be used to stow valuables. A 7.0-inch multimedia touchscreen is front and centre of the dashboard with features such as Bluetooth connectivity, HDMI port and customisable wallpaper, but lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Fit and finish is more budget conscious than upmarket, but the hard plastics should wear slowly over time.
