Much has been retained on the inside for the facelifted Honda Odyssey Interior, but this time doing away with the old-fashioned brown wood trims on the dashboard and the centre console.
In terms of outright size, it came off second-best to the behemoth Toyota Vellfire. The facelifted Honda Odyssey retains its original dimension with a ground clearance of 150 mm and weighing in at 1,860 kg. And unlike the Nissan Serena S Hybrid’s split tail gate, the single piece design limits rear access in tight spaces. It is business as usual at the rear with minimal chrome touches, sporting an overall more understated look compared to the likes of the Toyota Alphard. The thin chrome strip running across the side of the car along with the subtle body lines masks the conventional boxy shape of an MPV. The facelifted Honda Odyssey now sits on a new 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels with 215/55 profile tyres. And the dual power sliding door design greatly enhances accessibility to the car especially to the third-row seats. Unlike the first four generations of the Honda Odyssey, the fifth generation Honda Odyssey introduces sliding doors for the first time. More chrome touches can now also be found on the lower air intake, splitter and the side skirt. The LED projector headlight remains the same as the old model along with a thin horizontal chrome trim extending from the edge of the headlights across the entire side of the car before terminating at the D-pillar with a distinctive kink. It is also sporting a new front bumper with fake lower side intakes housing a new slim horizontal LED fog light. Right underneath it, a quad horizontal chrome slats now replaces the old three slats design. The Chrome grille that houses the Honda badge is now thicker and with a darker tint. The facelifted version retains the exterior look of the original fifth generation MPV with minor cosmetic changes. Other alternative includes the likes of the Kia Grand Carnival, or 7-seater SUVs like the Mazda CX-8 and the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace if you can make do without the sliding doors.Ĭompared to the low riding and aggressive looking fourth-generation Honda Odyssey, the exterior of the fifth-generation Honda Odyssey is relatively more subdued. The Honda Odyssey offers a unique proposition that sits in between the more affordable MPVs like the Nissan Serena S Hybrid and the more luxurious Toyota Vellfire full-size MPV. The 2.4 L EXV is the sole variant on offer and is priced from RM 249,393 (OTR without insurance). Most notably, the updated MPV now comes with Honda’s high tech safety feature in the form of Honda Sensing. The exterior changes to the facelifted Honda Odyssey are fairly subtle and most of the major changes occurs underneath. The most recent facelift was introduced in 2018 featuring a number of styling and equipment updates. Fully imported from Japan as a CBU unit, the now fifth generation Honda Odyssey was first unveiled in Malaysia back in 2013. The Honda Odyssey is Honda’s premium mid-size 7-seater MPV.
