Next-Gen Honda Odyssey Concept Prepared for 2010 Chicago Auto Show

Honda will showcase the next-generation Odyssey minivan at next month’s Chicago Auto Show, through a concept model, the carmaker announced today. The concept version is expected to offer a preview of the production model, that will likely go on sale sometime in early-2011.

However, typical for Honda, the carmaker did not release any teaser photos of the Odyssey concept, so we’ll just have to wait for the show on February 10, 2010, to see it.

“The next-generation Odyssey will further enhance its hallmark qualities of innovation, quality, safety and fun-to-drive character, while increasing its overall efficiency,” Honda said in a statement released today. “The Odyssey, currently in its third generation, was the best-selling minivan in the United States in 2008 and 2009. It is produced from domestic and globally sourced parts by Honda Manufacturing of Alabama, LLC in Lincoln, Alabama.”

The current version of the Honda Odyssey has won the Fairfax Drive Car of the Year Award for the Best People Mover for the fourth time in five years in 2009, and received the 5-star crash safety rating from the NHTSA.

The car features the following key features, which are likely to also be found on the next-generation model as well:

  • Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) Body Structure
  • Three-Row Side Curtain Airbags with Rollover Sensor
  • Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Traction Control
  • Bluetooth HandsFreeLink (models with Navigation)
  • Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition and Rearview Camera
  • Tri-Zone Climate Control
