Honda Odyssey Overview Manufacturer Honda Production 1994 -- present Model years 1995 -- present Body and chassis Class Full - size Minivan Body style 5 - door minivan Layout FF layout The Honda Odyssey is a minivan manufactured and marketed by Japanese automaker Honda since 1994, now in its fifth generation. The Odyssey had originally been conceived and engineered in Japan, in the wake of the country 's economic crisis of the 1990s -- which in turn imposed severe constraints on the vehicle 's size and overall concept, dictating the minivan 's manufacture in an existing facility with minimal modification. The result was a smaller minivan, in the Compact MPV class, that was well received in the Japanese domestic market and less well received in North America. The first generation Odyssey was marketed in Europe as the Honda Shuttle. Subsequent generations diverged to reflect market variations, and Honda built a plant in Lincoln, Alabama, incorporating the ability to manufacture larger models. Since model year 1999, Honda has marketed a larger ( large MPV - class ) Odyssey in North America and a smaller Odyssey in Japan and other markets. Honda also offered the larger North American Odyssey in Japan as the Honda LaGreat beginning in June 1999 through 2005. Both versions of the Odyssey were sold in Japan at Honda Clio dealership locations.

The design featured unibody construction, dual airbags, dual gloveboxes, dual zone heating and cooling with 20 percent greater capacity than an Accord 's system ( overhead rear fan - speed adjustment control, and main control switch over the front - seat passenger ), conventional rear swing - open rather than sliding doors, and a third row seat that could fold and tumble into a compartment beneath the floor -- the spacesaver spare tire carried inside, on the right, rear wall of the cabin. Honda marketed the first generation Odyssey in two trim levels. The LX accommodated seven passengers with two front buckets, a removable three - seat middle bench, and a 2 - seat third row bench. The EX accommodated six passengers ( using two removable second row captain 's chairs in lieu of the bench ) and offered additional equipment including a roof rack, alloy wheels, power driver 's seat height adjustment, power sunroof, remote keyless entry system, fog lights ( later model years ), body - colored side moldings and mirrors, map lights, and 20 - watt AM / FM / cassette six - speaker audio system. Isuzu offered a rebadged version of the Odyssey from 1996 -- 1999 as the Isuzu Oasis. Development The Odyssey was engineered by Kunimichi Odagaki, then a chief engineer at the Honda 's Research and Development Center, along with a team of 20 members -- in the wake of Japan 's recession of the early 1990s and the possibility of a 25 - percent tariffs if the minivans were imported to the U.S. as light trucks. In the course of developing the Odyssey, it became paramount to circumvent these obstacles and conceive a feasible interior package that could use existing manufacturing facilities with minimal investment. Odagaki traveled to the U.S. in September 1990 with a small sub-team to conduct a review of the U.S. minivan market. At the project 's inception, the team was considering variations for the project from 4 - cylinder to V6 alternatives, when the project was canceled. Odagaki continued working with an `` underground '' team, using as its design credo the concept of a `` personal jet '' -- which in turn led to the car 's original PJ concept code - name. Odagaki conceived the idea of the third row seat folding into a floor compartment, and he worked with his team to include a `` center aisle. '' The team determined a minimum interior height of 1.2 meters to retain the aisle, and favored a design with a low floor -- to provide ease of passenger entry and exit, easy garage - ability, low roof - loading height, as well as enhanced productivity on the assembly line. The team worked to convince management of the project 's viability, using extensive illustrations, a one - quarter scale model and a full - size foam model. By April 1991, Odagaki won permission to develop a prototype. After bringing the right - hand drive prototype to the U.S., Odagaki won the support of American Honda. Production was officially launched on October 20, 1994 -- the first Honda model in to be released at the same time through Honda 's three Japanese distribution channels ( Primo, Clio, Verno ), marketing the Odyssey through the three channels under the same name. At its debut, the Odyssey won the Japan Car of the Year Award ( Special Category ) and the RJC New Car of the Year Award. By September 1997, the Odyssey had sold more than 300,000 units, becoming Honda 's fastest - selling new car and breaking the Civic 's record. 1998 Honda Odyssey ( US ) Taxi service In 1996, New York City 's Taxi and Limousine Commission ( TLC ) expanded the number of licensable automobiles, approving the first generation Odyssey for use in the city 's taxi fleet -- the Odyssey having been recommended by the seven - year - old grandson of a TLC advisory commission member. Initial test riders identified advantages over then - prevalent Chevrolet Caprice and the Ford Crown Victoria taxi models -- including greater height ( for a better view of the road ), headroom, rear legroom, rear footroom ( the front - wheel - drive Odyssey having a flat floor ) and cargo space over the sedans, as well as air - conditioning vents in the rear, which the sedans did not offer. Second generation ( 1999 -- 2004 ) Second generation RL1 ( North America ) Overview Also called Honda LaGreat ( Japan ) Production 1998 -- 2004 Model years 1999 -- 2004 Assembly Alliston, Ontario, Canada Lincoln, Alabama, United States Designer Mitsuhiro Honda ( 1996 ), Tamotsu Okamoto ( 1996 ) Body and chassis Related Acura CL Acura TL Honda Accord Powertrain Engine 3.5 L J35A1 V6 ( 1999 - 2001 ) 3.5 L J35A4 V6 ( 2002 - 2004 ) Transmission 4 - speed B7XA automatic ( 1999 - 2001 ) 5 - speed BYBA automatic ( 2002 - 2004 ) Dimensions Wheelbase 118.1 in ( 3,000 mm ) Length 201.2 in ( 5,110 mm ) Width 75.6 in ( 1,920 mm ) Height 69.7 in ( 1,770 mm ) 68.5 in ( 1,740 mm ) ( LX ) Chronology Successor Honda Elysion ( LaGreat ) The second generation North American market Odyssey was first assembled in Canada as a 1999 model mainly for North America between 1998 and 2004 -- and exported to Japan as the LaGreat between 1999 and 2004. The television ad campaign for the new Odyssey evoked moments from the film 2001 : A Space Odyssey, particularly the extended space - station docking and lunar landing sequences to the soundtrack of The Blue Danube waltz. Honda LaGreat ( JDM ) Honda Odyssey By its second generation, the Odyssey was considerably larger than its predecessor, and adopted the Chrysler style minivan format, with sliding rear doors instead of hinged ones, simpler front strut suspension in place of upper and lower control arm front suspension of the 1995 - 1998 model and a 210 horsepower ( 160 kW ) V6 engine instead of the original, four - cylinder. The Odyssey offered two sliding doors as standard equipment, whereas some minivans of the time only offered one, a second door being optional. The Odyssey offered power sliding doors which were standard on the EX trims, but not available on the LX trims. The Odyssey kept the fold - into - the - floor rear seat, an innovation adopted by many other minivans. The van continued to receive upgrades, such as offering both VHS and DVD - based entertainment systems. There was also an available Honda Satellite - Linked Navigation System, introduced during 1999, which became the first navigation system ever offered in a minivan. The 2004 model was the only second generation Odyssey model year to receive reliability ratings of five out of five according to Automotive Information Systems. IIHS gave the Odyssey a Good rating in the Frontal Offset Test in years 1999 - 2004. The second generation was praised for its powerful V6, its handling from its four - wheel independent suspension, and its features such as a large cabin, power sliding doors ( manual sliding doors on LX models ) and the stow - away third - row seat. Some found it noisier than competitors. It won consecutive Edmunds.com Editors ' Most Wanted awards from 1999 -- 2003 in the minivan category. This is also the only generation of the Honda Odyssey where the power windows are only on the driver 's and front passenger 's doors. Mid-generational refresh 2002 -- 2004 Honda Odyssey EX ( US ) The Odyssey also received a significant increase in power from 210 hp ( 157 kW ) to 240 hp ( 179 kW ) during 2001. Also added was a five - speed automatic transmission, side torso airbags ( not side curtain airbags ), rear disc brakes, and a few minor cosmetic improvements on the outside as well as the inside. Other than an AUTO power driver 's window, the Odyssey remained unchanged for 2003 and 2004, before being replaced with the third - generation model. Fatal seating issue On April 10, 2018, student Kyle Plush was killed in the Seven Hills School parking lot when he became trapped in a 2002 Honda Odyssey rear seat. He called 9 - 1 - 1 but was not rescued for several hours by the time he had already died. He pleaded `` Send officers immediately. I 'm almost dead. '', `` I probably do n't have much time left, so tell my mom that I love her if I die, '' `` Help, help, help. I 'm in desperate need of help, '' `` this is not a joke ''. He died of asphyxia caused by chest compression by the seat. Transmission issues The 4 - speed automatic transmission in 1999 to 2001 models had serious problems with transmission durability. Honda spokesman Mike Spencer stated that four - speed models were afflicted with a bad bearing that could break apart, scattering fragments of metal that clogged fluid passageways in the transmission, causing it to shift erratically. Honda responded to the problems by extending the warranty on the transmission on American 1999 - 2001 models to 7 years or 100,000 miles ( 160,900 km ). A class action settlement further extended coverage to 109,000 miles ( 175,400 km ) or 93 months for some 1999 - 2001 Odysseys in the US. Canada is not included. The five - speed automatic was first installed in the Odyssey for the 2002 model, but general reliability of the 1999 - 2003 transmission was poor according to Consumer Reports. Mike Spencer, a spokesman for Honda, said that the five - speed models typically were damaged by premature wear of the third - gear clutch pack. As the clutch friction material abraded, it scattered bits inside the transmission case, clogging fluid lines and causing erratic shifting. Drivers might suffer slipping, poor or no shifts, or sudden down - shifts from 5th gear to 2nd gear. Under some conditions, a different 5 - speed transmission problem arose. Second gear could overheat and break, causing the transmission to lock. An oil jet was added to lubricate this gear but this did not solve the third gear clutch problem. The addition of the Honda transmission cooler with the towing package still allows transmission fluid temperatures that are too high. But it was required along with a power steering cooler for any towing, or the warranty would be void. The Acura CL, TL, MDX and Honda Accord suffered similar problems. Third generation ( 2005 -- 2010 ) Third generation RL3, RL4 ( North America ) Overview Production Aug 2004 -- 2010 Model years 2005 -- 2010 Assembly Lincoln, Alabama ( HMA ) Designer Akio Fumiiri ( 2002 ) Body and chassis Related Acura MDX Acura TL Honda Accord Honda Pilot Honda Elysion Powertrain Engine 3.5 L J35A6 V6 ( LX, EX ) 3.5 L J35A7 V6 ( EX-L, Touring ) Transmission 5 - speed automatic Dimensions Wheelbase 118.1 in ( 3,000 mm ) Length 2005 - 07 : 201.0 in ( 5,105 mm ) 2008 -- 10 : 202.1 in ( 5,133 mm ) Width 77.1 in ( 1,958 mm ) Height 70.0 in ( 1,778 mm ) 68.8 in ( 1,747.5 mm ) ( LX ) Honda introduced the third - generation Odyssey for the 2005 model year. It grew in width and weight but retained the previous generation 's length and interior space. Pre-facelift Odyssey EX-L interior Honda introduced the ACE body engineering to the third - generation Odyssey, which was later used on the eighth generation Civic. Side - curtain airbags and electronic stability control are included in all models. Both features were previously unavailable. Additional features included integrated sunshades in the rear doors, windows that roll down in the second row, and the third row ' Magic Seat ' was changed from a straight bench design to a split 60 / 40 design to allow for variable folding. The headrests could now be left in place when tumbling the rear seat. Some notable features of the redesign were dual glove boxes and an in - floor lazy susan storage compartment, located in the previous generation 's spare tire well. Third generation models offered a dashboard - mounted shifter, instead of a column - mounted shifter. The second row bucket seats do not fold into the floor. A ' Plus - One ' jump seat was standard on EX and EX-L trims for use with an eighth passenger. Touring models came with a center storage compartment. Engine power was increased to 255hp ( re-rated to 244hp by the new SAE J1349 guidelines, and used in 2006 + model descriptions ) and EX-L and Touring models received Honda 's VCM, or Variable Cylinder Management system. This enabled this van to receive U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) fuel economy ratings of 20 mpg ( 12 L / 100 km ; 24 mpg ) / 28 mpg ( 8.4 L / 100 km ; 34 mpg ) for the 2005 model year. ( 19 mpg ( 12 L / 100 km ; 23 mpg ) / 25 mpg ( 9.4 L / 100 km ; 30 mpg ) for non VCM equipped LX and EX models. ) < These numbers were re-rated in 2007, bringing numbers to 17 / 25 for VCM equipped models, and 16 / 23 for non VCM equipped models. Acceleration was slightly slower than generation two models. It was rated top pick in minivan category in Consumer Reports 2005 Annual auto issue. The EX-L and higher trims could be purchased with both navigation and rear entertainment systems, or rear entertainment system only, while the VHS - based i - VES system was dropped. Four trim levels were available in the United States : LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring, the top - of - the - line package in the Odyssey lineup that incorporated features such as run - flat tires, power tailgate, power adjustable pedals, multi information display, memory seats and chrome tailgate trim. Problem areas included body integrity, which includes paint wear and rusting issues, body hardware bumpers being loose, audio system, brakes and suspension according to the Consumer Reports issue of April 2006. According to the online edition of Consumer Reports in June 2016, transmission problems were better than average for 2006 models. Crash test ratings have been five star in every test but the 2005 had a safety concern. `` During the side impact test, the driver door became unlatched and opened. A door opening during a side impact crash increases the likelihood of occupant ejection. '' Odyssey has won a spot on Car and Driver 's 5 Best trucks for the past three years, as well as a host of other awards. The Odyssey is the top - ranked minivan in the US News charts. The 2007 - 09 Odyssey was the best - selling minivan in the United States. Mid-generational refresh 2010 Honda Odyssey EX For 2008, the Odyssey received a mid-model facelift. All models were equipped with active front head restraints, daytime running lights, redesigned dashboard, grille and taillights. An audio AUX jack became standard equipment. The backup camera, previously only included with navigation - equipped models, was integrated into the rear - view mirror of the non-navigation EX-L. Touring models featured full Bluetooth support for all Bluetooth - equipped devices, and are now standard with navigation. EX, EX-L, and Touring models came standard with the updated ' Plus One ' jump seat with added storage features. In Canada, an entry - level DX trim was added to the LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring packages for the 2008 - 2010 model years. The DX lacks features such as the `` 2nd - Row Plus One Seat with storage '', conversation mirror with sunglasses holder, tinted glass, roof rails, and has black body moldings. The LX trim level was dropped for the 2010 model year, which also saw a SE Odyssey NHL edition replace the EX ( being identical to the 2008 - 09 EX in all respects but with a rear entertainment system and NHL badges ). For the 2010 model year, the DVD rear entertainment system is now available on the EX-L trim and while it is still standard on the Touring.
