The fourth-generation minivan will be released on the market at the end of this year, and while the company presented a preproduction version of the status of the concept.
One of the most surprising innovations International Motor Show in Chicago is perhaps the concept Honda Odyssey for the North American market. Of course, Honda Motor has repeatedly reported on the intention to present here this car, but had absolutely no "leaks" and the premiere was actually the premiere, since no one picture the car is still not there. It should be pointed out that it is a model for the North American market: in Japan under the name Odyssey sold a completely different car.
Introduced the concept looks almost completely ready to launch into series production. Of course, some items will be removed: door handles, mirrors, and perhaps lights will gain a more utilitarian and familiar look. Not ready, apparently, only salon: no details about it there, but on the car show was tightly closed. Reported only that the new Honda Odyssey will be 7-seater with ample opportunities transform the passenger compartment.
The car is lower and wider than the current Odyssey. In numbers, there are only a couple inches, but visually the changes are much more noticeable. In general, car design is rather calm, but on the general background of distinguishing broken line glazing - the company claims that it should improve the view from the driver's seat.
Only provided for the production version of the engine is likely to remain the petrol V6, but its efficiency and environmental performance will be somewhat improved.
The company stresses that the Honda Odyssey is a truly American product: it is completely designed and will be released officially on sale only in the United States.
