1995-1998 Honda Odyssey Review
Honda became the last major automaker to issue a minivan, adding the Accord-based Odyssey after the 1995 model year began. About as long as a Mercury Villager or Nissan Quest, the most unique feature was its four sedan-style swing-open side doors--no sliding side door at all. Sole powertrain was a 140-horsepower, 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine and 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission. Offered in LX and upscale EX trim, Odysseys came with standard dual airbags and antilock disc brakes. Seating for seven was standard on the LX: two front buckets, a 3-place middle bench, and 2-place rear bench. The 2-place rear bench folds flush with the floor.
Year to Year Changes
1996 Honda Odyssey: Isuzu began to market a similar Oasis minivan in January 1996, differing from the Odyssey mainly in its grille treatment.
1997 Honda Odyssey: Variable-speed intermittent windshield wipers, body-colored mirrors, and redesigned alloy wheels were among the minor equipment alterations for the upscale EX Odyssey.
1998 Honda Odyssey: Honda replaced the 2.2-liter engine with a larger 2.3-liter unit. Horsepower is up by ten, and automatic transmission remains standard. Other changes include a restyled grille and revised instrument panel with tachometer. Odyssey was completely redesigned for '99 with a V6 engine and dual sliding doors.
