LIKE NO VAN BEFORE

BY DESIGN, VANS MEET NEEDS. BUT THE NEW ODYSSEY GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND. IT TAKES HIGH-TECH TO NEW HEIGHTS. ITS CONVENIENCES ARE NOT JUST THOUGHTFUL -- YOU COULD ALMOST CALL THEM ENCHANTING. AND IT MAY SEEM STRANGE, BUT CAN A VAN REALLY KNOW WHEN ALL YOU NEED IS A LITTLE YOU-TIME? THE ANSWER IS YES. AND SUDDENLY, YOU NO LONGER NEED A VAN, YOU WANT ONE. BECAUSE THIS IS NO ORDINARY VAN. THIS IS THE ALL-NEW 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY.

The third row has room for three adult passengers ? and three beverage holders. A fold-down center armrest makes it cozier for two (Touring models). On vans equipped with a rear entertainment system, there's a 115-volt power outlet and A/V inputs. In this van, taking the back seat is a pleasure.

The second row features a center seat that can accomplish a multitude of tasks. It's now wide enough for a child seat, and can slide forward, putting the child seat within easy reach of a front passenger. Fold down the seatback, and it becomes a food or beverage tray. And the two second-row outboard seats can slide left or right. The resulting "wide mode" creates either more comfort for passengers, or more room for two additional child seats in the second row.

To keep out bright light or peering paparazzi, the second- and third-row windows have integrated sunshades (Touring models)

Rear passengers don't ask for much. Just make them super comfortable, and give them an easy way in and out. To that end, we located the power sliding door switch right where a second-row sitter would expect to find it.

The position of the second-row walk-in levers makes getting to the third row simple, while recline levers offer a quick way to ease back. And there's one more convenience: a trash-bag ring, sized to use shopping bags.

The driver and front passenger get the royal treatment, too. The all- new Odyssey features more soft-touch surfaces for a more sophisticated feel. The driver settles into a seat with 10-way power adjustment, including power lumbar support (EX and above), while the passenger enjoys 4-way power adjustment ? and the heated seats get up to a comfortable temperature quickly (EX-L and above).
 
TRANSPORT 8 PASSENGERS, OR 4x8 SHEETS OF PLYWOOD IN DAZZLING VAN GLORY

There is one main reason for buying a minivan: flexibility. And the 2010 Honda Odyssey has been rethought to be even more configurable than ever before. Whether the day involves transporting adults in comfort, maximizing your kid- carrying capacity, or even making a run to the lumber yard, this interior is ready to respond quickly and easily.

WIELD THE POWER TO PLEASE THE MOST DEMANDING AUDIENCES

What ever music you're into, it's better when it's portable. With the USB Audio Interface, simply plug in your compatible MP3 player or USB drive (EX-L and above).

If you really want to take your show on the road pump out music with a 12- speaker, 650-watt 5.1 surround sound system (Touring Elite).

All Odyssey models have feature more powerful audio systems for 2011. A new CD-Library lets you store up to 18 CDs in 2 GB of memory for easy organization and playback (EX and above). Set up to an EX-L and you're treated to an XM radio and a USB Audio Interface. Add the available navigation system, and you'll be able to use 15 GB of the system's hard disk drive (HDD) to store more than 3,500 of your songs.

The 8-inch navigation display shows audio-system information, as well as the second- and third-row media sources. The screen can also be used to show wallpaper images (available on EX-L, standard on Touring models).

Both rear entertainment systems include A/V inputs and a 115-volt power outlet. Touring Elite models incorporate HDMI technology.

The Odyssey's navigation system now includes FM Traffic, which alerts you to traffic incidents on the system's map display. You can zoom in on specific incidences for more information, and then plan an alternative route. It's an added feature to the already robust navigation capabilities of the system, offering 7 million points of interest, turn-by-turn driving directions and Zagat restaurant reviews (available on EX-L standard on Touring models).

TAKING A MOONLIGHT DRIVE HAS NEVER BEEN SO ILLUMINATING

The all-new 2011 Odyssey is equipped with high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights -- a first for any Odyssey. They cast a longer, brighter beam to help light up the night when you're traveling on dark roads (Touring Elite).

Other vehicles will have a harder time sneaking up, since the Odyssey features a blind-spot information system* (BSI) that notifies the driver of any vehicle detected in its blind-spot area. It's the first-ever offering of a blind-spot system on any Honda (Touring Elite). *The system is not a substitute for your own visual assessment before changing lanes; system accuracy will vary based on weather, size of object and speed.

EX-L and above models feature a rear camera with guidelines. It not only helps you see what's behind you, but also helps when backing into tight spaces. On navigation-equipped models, a multi-view rear camera offers three views: normal, wide and straight down.

Bluetooth8 HandsFreeLink makes it easy to sync up your compatible mobile phone (EX-L and above).

BRING ON THE EXTRAS. IT'S TIME WE ALL MADE OURSELVES A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE.

She likes it warm. He prefers it cool. And the rear passengers have their own preference. Tri-zone automatic climate control is the only logical solution. The system also monitors cabin humidity (EX and above).

There is ample cargo space. Enough for a weekend getaway. For more space, the third-row Magic Seat stows with one gentle pull.

Whether you're facing a frosty morning or a chilly evening, you'll just feel snugglier on heated front seats (EX-L and above).

For refreshment, reach inside the new cool box. Located in the lower part of the center stack, it uses the A/C system to keep the contents chilled (EX and above).

THE WORLD CAN BE A DANGEROUS PLACE. BUT HERE YOU CAN RELAX. THE ODYSSEY IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE.

In anticipation of larger families on the go, the Odyssey provides up to five positions for LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) child seats.

To help reduce the likelihood of whiplash injuries, the front seats have active head restraints. They move up and forward in a sufficient rear collision.

Standard front, front side and side curtain airbags* can help reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision. The side curtain airbags have a sensor that can detect a rollover, and then deploy the airbags. And the front passenger's side airbag comes equipped with the Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) to help prevent airbag deployment if a small-statured passenger is out of position and in the airbag's path of deployment. *Honda reminds you and your passengers to always buckle up. Children 12 and under are safest when properly restrained in a rear seat.

The front seat belts are equipped with an automatic tensioning system that will tighten in a moderate-to-severe frontal impact.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will notify the driver when air pressure is significantly low.

The Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is a Honda-exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection as well as crash compatibility in frontal collisions. By dispersing crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle, less force is transmitted to the passenger compartment.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA)** system helps sense oversteer or understeer and brakes individual wheels and/or reduces engine power to help keep you on your intended course. **VSA is not a substitute for safe driving. It cannot correct the vehicle?s course in every situation or compensate for reckless driving. Control of the vehicle always remains with the driver.

Brake Assist, a component of the anti-lock braking system (ABS), helps apply full braking force in some emergency situations. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) helps balance braking forces depending upon dynamic loading.
