Changes in exterior
Exterior of this great MPV will change but not to much. It will be in a ballpark of a slight refresh than a completely new design. The base shape will mostly stay the same, yet new version will absolutely have sharper lines as well as more wind resistant look.
Only Honda can make the minivan class vehicle to look sporty enough, and that is just what they did with the new Odyssey. Huge grill and big LED headlights became Honda’s trademark, so the 2018 Honda Odyssey is no exception. Large doors immediately tell you that this is really intended to be a family car. The platform is the same as the Honda Pilot but introduced a lot more of aluminum components, which should make it up to 500 pounds lighter than before. Lighter car should improve noise, vibration, and harshness standards as well, so the ride should be more comfortable. Dimensions will remain roughly the same as at the previous model and the back door will remain slide.

This outstanding minivan comes in six trims: LX, EX, SE, EX-L, Touring, and Touring Elite. Engine that will power the front wheels remain to be 3.5 L V6 with Earth Dream technology, which produces around 280 HP and a torque of 250 lb-ft.

Transmission will be 10-speed automatic as standard, which was offered as option in previous model, and possibly ZF nine speed gear shift as an option. Because of its lightweight body it is most likely to produce a high mileage and an excellent performance, plus if the engine gets played with, its rating would be around 21 mpg in city and 32 mpg on highway.There are also some indications that hybrid option will be available.
