2011 Honda Odyssey Coming to Boston Massachusetts

At the recent Chicago Auto Show, Honda unveiled the 2011 Honda Odyssey. Massachusetts  Honda owners will be pleased with the redesigned styling of the Odyssey  and some cool new features.   If your live near Boston you can expect local Honda dealers to have the all new Odyssey in their showrooms this fall.

The new 2011 Honda Odyssey mini-van introduces a sleek and distinctive exterior styling direction for the next generation of the industry’s best-selling minivan.

Massachusetts Honda buyers will be please to know that the vehicle will debut this fall. Boston  Honda  dealers will need to have a strong supply to meet the anticipated demand from Boston residents.

The Odyssey Concept dramatically departs from conventional minivan styling with its low and wide stance, highlighted by a “lightning-bolt” beltline that further distinguishes the vehicle’s profile. Compared to the current Odyssey, the Concept’s slightly lower roofline (-1.0 inch) and wider stance (+1.4 inch) contribute to a sleeker, stronger and more dynamic presence with improved aerodynamics that help increase fuel economy. Forthcoming improvements to the production Odyssey’s interior are designed to further enhance the current model’s accommodating space for people and cargo.

“The Odyssey established its reputation by providing families with what they most want in a minivan – great functionality, an emphasis on safety and good fuel economy,” said Vicki Poponi, assistant vice president of American Honda product planning. “Odyssey then further delighted customers with its surprisingly engaging, fun-to-drive and dynamic nature. The next-generation Odyssey promises to take these strengths to a higher level while adding more style and personality.”

San Leandro Honda, a Bay Area Honda dealer, commenting about the new model added “We expect the new Honda Odyssey to be a strong seller in Southern Florida. In fact, Consumer Reports has named the Honda Odyssey as the #1 rated and top selling mini-van in its class. Massachusetts Honda Odyssey owners just love this car.”

The steeply raked front and rear roof pillars, unique side-glass profile, chamfered roof line, and tapered rear cabin shape combine to create a dynamic and distinctive appearance from any perspective. The lightning-bolt beltline dives toward the rear of the vehicle emphasizing the new Odyssey’s sporty appearance while enhancing outward visibility for third-row passengers.

Aggressive body-to-wheel proportions reduce the perception of vertical height common to most minivan designs. Fender flares further accent the vehicle’s securely planted and stylish persona. The concept vehicle’s projector beam headlights, LED taillights and form-fit fog lights further heighten the sophisticated quality of the design.

Enhanced aerodynamics and advanced powertrain technologies will contribute to the next-generation Odyssey’s increased fuel efficiency. The all-new 2011 Odyssey is expected to achieve an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating¹ of 19 city/28 highway miles-per gallon on select models (preliminary estimate determined by Honda).

The Odyssey has won numerous awards and critical acclaim. Recent accolades include the Edmunds.com 2010 “Top Recommended” minivan award, U.S. News and World Report 2010 “Best Minivan for the Money” award, Automotive Lease Guide 2010 “Best Minivan for the Money,” the Kelley Blue Book award as one of the ten “Best New Family Vehicles of 2009″ and “2009 Best Resale Value Award” in the van category, which recognizes vehicles that are expected to have segment-leading resale value after five years of ownership.
