![]() It’s great if you have little kids in the back and the best part is that it has night vision so you can see clearly if it is dark outside and you can also individually zoom into any one of the seats. A roof-mounted camera allows you to keep an eye on the back seats without having to keep turning around. Stand out feature number three: Cabin Watch. It’s amazing because if your kids are watching a movie on the screen and have their wireless headphones on, it will override that too. Switch the mic on and it carries the driver’s voice through the speakers to the second and third rows. What they’ve done then is added an in-car PA system. Because of how large the Odyssey is, the engineers knew that having a conversation between the first and last row could prove challenging. ![]() Stand out feature number two: Cabin Talk. And of course if for some strange reason you don’t like the interface or simply aren’t used to it, you can always plug your phone in and use Google Maps on the screen. That is not a problem in the Odyssey, since it is fitted with a Garmin navigation system. Most in-built navigation systems tend to be slow, laggy, and not particularly useful simply because of how outdated they are. There’s also Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a tri-zone climate control system, but don’t be impressed because that is not what really sets it apart. When it comes to features, Honda hasn’t held back and so it’s got everything from a sunroof to ventilated seats and a 10-speaker sound system to a wireless charger. There are also A/C vents, charging outlets, headphone jacks, and privacy shades on either side, it’s thoroughly impressive. With 38-inches of legroom, there’s plenty of space to fit 3 adults comfortably. The last row in an SUV tends to be the place where you traditionally put children or people you don’t like very much, but that isn’t the case in the Honda Odyssey. In the second row, there is plenty of headroom and legroom, a lot more than any SUV would be able to offer and to make sure those in the back are truly comfortable, the seats slide forward and backward as well as recline, and there are also privacy shades on either side, USB chargers, and a 10.2-inch entertainment screen overhead. There’s a 7-inch screen in the instrument cluster, an 8-inch touch infotainment screen, and plenty of storage bins and cubby holes all around that have been made possible because of things such as a push-button gear selector as opposed to a traditional lever. And hey, those aren’t just my words but also those of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) as well.įrom a design perspective, Honda hasn’t changed much and that’s a good thing because the cabin of the Odyssey has always been spacious and practical. ![]() ![]() This includes Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision-Avoidance, and Blind Spot Monitoring, all of which work together to make the Odyssey one of the safest cars you can currently go out and purchase. In addition to things like Active Noise Cancellation which makes the cabin quieter and more luxurious, the Odyssey is fitted with Honda Sensing – the brand’s suite of active and passive safety features. The visibility is great the steering is light, making it very easy to drive and maneuver, and the suspension is extremely soft, flattening out any bumps or imperfections in the road. Yes, I’m talking about engine sound in a Honda Odyssey! But now let’s tone it down a notch and drive it the way it’s meant to be driven.Īlthough the Odyssey is a big car, (it’s nearly 10 inches longer than something like a Toyota Land Cruiser or a Nissan Patrol) it really doesn’t feel it. What those numbers mean is that when you mash the accelerator pedal to the floor, it will wheel spin all through first gear, and since it is a high-revving Hondaengine, it sounds weirdly good while doing it too. But what if I were to tell you that it’s actually fun to drive? Would you be interested? With a 3.5-liter V6 up front, the Odyssey offers 280 horsepower and 355 Nm of torque to play with it. Now I know what some of you may be thinking, it is an Odyssey, there’s no way I’d ever buy one of those for my family. The 2021 Honda Odyssey is a thoroughly impressive minivan that costs 180,000 Dirhams and by the end of this review, I am going to try and prove why you should buy one of these over an SUV as your next family car.
