Compared to the current version the 2011 model has a lower roofline and wider track that, together with improved aerodynamics, help increase fuel economy and also offer more interior width.
Exterior highlights include HID front headlight, 18-inch alloy wheels, 12.6-inch ventilated front disc brakes, power side mirrors with integrated turn indicators, as well as a power tailgate.
“The all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey seeks to redefine the concept of the minivan with its aggressive stance and sporty "lightning-bolt" beltline. The lightning bolt not only provides an exclusive appearance, but also adds increased visibility for third-row passengers,” a company statement reads.
The 2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite is powered by a 3.5-liter i-VTEC V-6 engine with three-mode Variable Cylinder Management that promises to deliver an estimated 19 to 28 mpg (city/highway). Final EPA mileage estimates are still to be disclosed, as well as performance figures of this powerplant.
“New interior features add more convenience for families, while available entertainment technology introduces high-definition connectivity and split-screen viewing,” the statement adds.
Interior highlights include a 12 speaker premium audio system, voice activated sat-nav, the Ultra-Wide Rear Entertainment System (RES), a cool box in lower center stack, memory-linked 10-way power driver's seat, one-strap stowable 3rd Row Magic Seat and more.
The manufacturer, however, failed to give any details on the pricing, but is expected to do so closer to the market launch.
