2017 Honda
Odyssey
Ahead of the
expected debut later this year, the all-new fifth gen Odyssey has been spied
yet again, in California by TFLcar reader Dimitri.
The North
American-spec fifth generation Honda Odyssey, with some market-specific styling
changes, will look very similar to the JDM-spec fifth generation Honda Odyssey,
leaked patent images revealed late last year. The North American-spec model
gets a different grille design, Jewel Eye headlights and different bumpers,
tail lamps and curves on the body.
The all-new
Honda Odyssey will be based on the third generation Honda Pilot’s platform
which underpins the third generation Acura MDX as well. It will likely be powered by the same 3.5-liter naturally aspirated
V6 engine that powers the 2016 Honda Pilot and 2017 Honda Ridgeline linked to a
9-speed automatic transmission. There’s no word on a hybrid or a plug-in hybrid
powertrain as of now. The 2017
Honda Odyssey could go on sale in late 2016 or early 2017.
