Honda Odyssey Minivan


Power & Efficiency
All models feature an improved 3.5-liter, 24-valve, SOHC i-VTEC® V-6 engine with 248 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. Its Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®) allows for exceptional power and fuel economy[1] while meeting CARB's ULEV-2 emissions rating[2]. A new 6-speed automatic transmission (Touring models) helps the Odyssey achieve class-leading[3] fuel economy[1], while maintaining excellent performance for a van.
Top of the Class
28 mpg[1] is an extraordinarily high number for an 8-passenger van. To accomplish this high level of efficiency[1], the engineers needed more than just an efficient engine and transmission. Other features were added, like low-rolling resistance tires, a variable-displacement power-steering pump, and low-drag wheel bearings as well as aero improvements to the body.
[1] 19 city/28 highway/22 combined mpg for Odyssey Touring models with 6AT, and 18 city/27 highway/21 combined mpg for Odyssey EX-L and below models with 5AT. Based on 2011 EPA mileage estimates. Use for comparison purposes only. Do not compare to models before 2008. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle.
[2] ULEV-2 rated by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
[3] The class-leading EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for the V-6-powered Odyssey Touring is better than similarly sized 4-cylinder-powered minivans currently available from other manufacturers for the 2011 model year.
