Honda Odyssey 2024.

This will be the second update to the current-generation Honda Odyssey minivan.

This Japanese minivan has received a second facelift for the current generation version, which offers changes to the head section of the model.

The front part of the body has continuous camouflage coatings that do an excellent job of camouflaging details.

However, the changes may be minor. The outline of the grille and headlights are visible, showing the same overall shape as the current version.

Rectangular cutouts at the corners reveal folded driving lights, which also have a similar shape, although the structure looks slightly different.

Below you can see the bottom of the front panel with some interesting new notches.

Expect a redesigned lower fascia with small indentations not unlike those found on the Honda Pilot.

The grille could also adopt a new structure while maintaining the same size and shape as the current Odyssey.

Changes are also expected at the rear. The doors and taillights remain the same, but behind the black covers you can see a new panel with vertical reflectors.

Changes are also possible in the interior, as there is camouflage on the central touchscreen.

The photos don’t give a clear picture of the interior, but if you zoom in on the passenger-side window, you can see a covered tablet-style screen, as well as another cover on the passenger-side dashboard.

No changes are expected under the hood. The 280-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine will remain, driving only the front wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Honda doesn’t offer a hybrid option or all-wheel drive.

Honda will unveil the updated 2024 model over the next few months.

At the moment, there is no information about whether there will be a next-generation model after the facelift.

This model comes from China. In our country, prices for a minivan vary from 4.8 to 8 million rubles. This is due to the fact that they brought 2 completely different modifications: one of them provides a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine with an output of 175 hp, the other — a 215-horsepower hybrid.

Despite such a high price, the Japanese model is a must buy.

The fact is that it is one of the most durable cars in the world.

And among minivans, the Odyssey is considered the most durable, according to independent research. This applies to both the design of the car and its components.

But despite the above, Odyssey can present unpleasant surprises. The fact is that the car is adapted for China.

Therefore, in the Russian climate, a minivan may turn out to be less durable, and the suspension may not be as comfortable as independent experts claim.

To this should be added the inflated price and expensive maintenance, since all parts for the Japanese model must be ordered abroad. But with that said, the Odyssey is still one of the best minivans on the market.
