Honda Odyssey (international)
The Honda Odyssey is a minivan manufactured by Honda. While sharing a name with the North American Honda Odyssey, the "international" version is a distinct vehicle designed and marketed primarily outside of North America. This Odyssey is smaller and typically features a different chassis, engine options, and interior design compared to its North American counterpart.
Generally, the international Honda Odyssey caters to markets where smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles are preferred or necessary due to road conditions and parking limitations. It is sold in various Asian countries, Australia, and other regions. The vehicle typically offers seating for seven or eight passengers, depending on the configuration.
Key differences between the international and North American Odyssey models often include:
- Size: The international Odyssey is noticeably smaller in overall dimensions.
- Engine: Engine options usually consist of smaller displacement inline-four engines, sometimes with hybrid technology, optimized for fuel economy.
- Styling: The exterior and interior styling differ significantly from the North American model.
- Features: While offering a range of features, the specific features and trim levels may vary from those available in North America.
The international Honda Odyssey represents a different approach to the minivan concept, tailored to the specific needs and preferences of markets outside North America.
