Honda Odyssey 2018
Nothing beats the family-friendly minivan when it comes to driving it daily with the family. From handling the kids in a spacious vehicle to kids friendly interior cabin and features explains why European and American markets love minivan. Honda Odyssey 2018 tops the league among its competitor as it is well thought, better engineered being a leading class. The Honda Odyssey EX-L simply features more options and features than any other minivan just when people thought the minivan category couldn’t get any better.
Having Best Cabin Monitoring:
One of key features that highlight the Honda Odyssey among others is the back cabin cameras that let the driver see at 2nd and 3rd row effortlessly without the need of turning the head backwards, while this may sound normal but indeed proves to be very useful when driving with bunch of toddlers in the back. Honda Odyssey EX-L with Navi RES 2018 features seating capacity for 8 persons in total.
Upgrades & large List of Features:
In addition there are plenty of new upgrades for the 2018 model which includes sliding second-row seats, wireless charging pad, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot for the cabin, rear temperature setting app and an in-van vacuum cleaner that is offered in top 2 trims only. The list continues with cooled and heated seats, heated steering wheel, ambient cabin lighting, 11-speaker audio system and hands-free tailgate. The list of features goes onto 8.0 inches infotainment screen with tachometer, trip calculator and other options. The cabin watch feature enables the driver to zoom and see the camera at any seat along with CabinTalk system. This enables you to communicate to 2nd and 3rd row with amplifying your voice at back of the cabin, so some might say it’s a great way to instruct and yell at children. The upgraded optional rear entertainment system offers a 10.2 inches flip-down screen tablet that connects the kids with apps such as spotify, iHeart radio and estimate to destination for answering the “how long till we reach” query from your toddlers.
Having Best Safety Ratings by NHTSA:
Honda Odyssey EX-L with Navi RES 2018 tops the score chart when it comes to safety and crash test rating with near to perfect scores in crash testing. According to NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) the Honda Odyssey earns 5-star rating overall. The base models feature knee airbags for front passengers whereas curtain side-airbags for 3-rows in the van. The upgraded trims offer features such as emergency braking, forward-collision warning, active lane control, lane-departure warning, blind spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, automatic high beams and adaptive cruise control. Therefore the Honda Odyssey EX-L with Navi RES 2018 is a complete safe-box when it comes to necessary safety measures.

Power & Performance:
Performance isn’t a key factor in minivans shopping however Honda Odyssey comes with fair amount of it with a newer 3.5l V6 engine producing 280hp. The transmission placed is either 9-speed automatic or 10-speed automatic which makes the Honda Odyssey most fuel efficient in the league apart from plugin hybrid model of Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. The Honda Odyssey gives powerful acceleration combined with new steering system with improved steering ratio. Thus the Honda Odyssey EX-L with Navi RES 2018 feels quicker when hitting 0-60mph and being second fastest to do that in its league. Now obviously the 9-speed automatic transmission are notoriously known for their sluggish throttle response along with inability to reach top gears however Honda solves it with 10-speed automatic transmission so the vehicle feels pretty much in power.
Having Spacious & Comfortable Cabin:
Adding to the performance segment come the Comfort section that is most important and deciding factor while buying any minivan. Good enough the Honda Odyssey EX-L with Navi RES 2018 features the most spacious cabin of 144.9 cubic feet in minivans. However the flaw that seems to be setting the Odyssey a little back is that you have to manually take-out the 2nd row seating in order to make space for cargo instead of folding it down. However on the positive side of comfort it has magic-slide for second and third row seating which can be pushed on sides making a walk through space for driver. It also comes with stain-resistant leather, black floor mates and belts for ultimate look. In short Honda Odyssey is far more superior to others in the league.
Trim Levels in Honda Odyssey:
Honda Odyssey 2018 comes in six trims as LX, EX, EX-L, EXL Navi & RES, Touring and Elite. The most popular trim is EXL Navi & RES.
