AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/12 Report--

As a MPV model that Honda entered China earlier, Odyssey has been selling well in the domestic MPV market. But the Honda Odyssey market has been squeezed as more and more independent and joint venture brands have entered the high-end MPV market, including the replacement period for cash models. A few days ago, the mid-term model has been unveiled, but the domestic model still takes time.

Japanese new cars, as the local market of the Honda brand, will be the first to go public. It is reported that the new car has been officially launched in the Japanese local market and is expected to go on sale within this year. It is reported that domestic models are expected to usher in medium-term revamping work within next year or 2022.

The actual pictures of the new car have also been exposed by overseas media a few days ago. Due to the mid-term modification of the model, the overall continuation of the cash model design, only the front part of the face is greatly changed. Specifically, Honda has made its front face design more consistent with other Honda models, including Zhong.com 's flying-wing chrome strips and new headlamp styling. Compared with the sports design style of cash, the new style can be said to give people a more calm feeling, especially the large-size hexagonal intake grille. At the same time, the more square engine makes the whole car look fuller.

From the side, the only change of the new Odyssey is that a silver chrome strip is installed at the bottom pedal position to give it a little business flavor. As for the tail, the new Odyssey also chose to use silver chrome-plated strips through the taillights, which also made the tail look more stylish, while the hidden exhaust tail was also decorated with chrome.

As for the interior, the biggest difference is that the LCD screen on the dashboard has increased from 3.5 inches to 7 inches, and the size of the central control screen has increased from 8 inches to 10 inches. After all, the smaller screen looks a bit low in the current market. In addition, in order to improve the practicability of the vehicle, the new car also adds a hidden locker in the co-driver's control position to move the air conditioner outlet position down.

The new car is equipped with an electric side sliding door that can be controlled by gestures, which is the "magic sensing door" that was added when the domestic Odyssey came on the market last year. The side sliding door will open automatically by scratching on the sensor of the car door. At the same time, Honda said that the rear door of the new Odyssey also supports gesture control, and speculates that the domestic Odyssey will also have it.

In terms of spatial layout, the new Odyssey still uses the 2'2'3 type seven-seat layout, and the new 2'3'3 type eight-seat version, and the second row of seats still supports four adjustments. and with aviation headrest, telescopic leg support, electric adjustment, massage and other rich functions, effectively enhance the driving experience; the third row of seats can also be magically accepted to further improve the space utilization rate.

In terms of power, the new car is still equipped with 2.4L self-priming engine and 2.0L self-priming engine, although it is only a MPV, but it has 172hp power, and the Japanese Odyssey also has a four-wheel drive system with a fuel consumption of only 4.9L for 100 kilometers.

As a home-oriented MPV model, Honda Odyssey has a place in China, but with the medium-term transformation of the same Honda Ericsson, it has achieved price and configuration optimization in many aspects, which has seized a larger market share of Odyssey. The data show that the growth rate of more than 60 per cent in October has surpassed the nearly 2000 Odyssey, which fell 6 per cent year-on-year, which means that the production power of the Odyssey, which has a better reputation, is obviously less than that of Ericsson, and product upgrading is inevitable.

After all, with the gradual expansion of the demand of the domestic high-end MPV market, the MPV model will gradually be valued by the major car companies. In October, the MPV market successfully outperformed the other two segments, with cumulative sales of 107000 vehicles, up 10 per cent from a year earlier, according to FIFA data.
