Honda has announced the pricing details of the 2019
Odyssey, which is already on sale on dealerships nationwide. The fifth
generation of the Honda Odyssey still holds the title of most popular minivan
in America for eight straight years and wants to continue doing so for the
2019MY.
The entry price for the unchanged 2019 Honda Odyssey
is now US$ 31,065 (including US$ 975 destination and handling charge), which is just
a tad more expensive (by US$ 175) than last year’s model.
Power comes from Honda’s 3.5-liter V6 with 280 hp and
262 lb-ft of torque, with customers able to choose between two different
automatic transmissions: a nine-speed unit in the LX, EX, EX-L and EX-L Navi
models and a ten-speed unit in the Touring and Elite models. Fuel economy
figures remain the same on both occasions, at 19/28/22 mpg
(city/highway/combined).
Standard equipment on EX and above trims includes
Honda’s Sensing suite of safety systems, featuring Collision Mitigation Braking
System, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation and Adaptive Cruise
Control.
Other features include CabinWatch that enables the
driver and front passenger to view the second and third row passengers via a
ceiling-mounted camera that projects the image in the eight-inch infotainment display,
CabinTalk that enables the driver to talk to the second and third row
passengers and a Rear Entertainment System with 10-inch, high-definition pair
of displays with Blu-Ray and streaming video capabilities, among other.
EX models and above get Honda’s Magic Slide second
row of seats that allow greater flexibility for optimal comfort and easier
access to the third row. Magic Slide offers four different seating setups,
including the removal of the center seat.
The 2019 Honda Odyssey is available for sale now on
dealerships nationwide.
