2015 Honda Odyssey

The Honda Odyssey has been a long running nameplate in the Japanese automaker’s lineup, having been introduced to the North American market back in 1994. The Odyssey is a minivan, but because it was previously on the smaller size, it was first characterized as a compact multi-purpose vehicle, or MPV.

The introduction of the Odyssey to the North American market in the  mid-nineties, helped to satisfy a craving for a family-friendly vehicle that exemplified practicality. The 1995 Honda Odyssey also offered a unique rear entry through hinged doors, rather than the standard sliding door of its competition. 

Today, the Honda Odyssey is much larger in size, produced here in the United States in Lincoln, Alabama. Since Honda made that switch back in 1999, the Odyssey is now a part of the large MPV segment. The 2015 Honda Odyssey is a year out from the mid-generational refresh, and is currently in the MPVs fourth generation.

Drivers who are looking for a safe, practical, and incredibly-equipped MPV, need not look any further than the Honda Odyssey. The 2015 Odyssey LX is the base trim level offering, and comes with a great suite of standard features that are family-focused, and affordable. The 2015 Odyssey has a long list of available features, sure to satisfy the needs of various drivers and their unique family situations. With great advanced safety features, the 2015 Honda Odyssey is as safe as it is impressive.
