Odyssey was the first van to earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus, including a Good rating in the small overlap front crash test. The 2014 Odyssey also gained in safety, with more warning systems and driver assists, a benefit of its revised structure. Neatly stowed in the left rear cargo area wall (where lesser models secure the second-row middle seat not in use), the Shop-Vac built HondaVAC unit runs for 8 minutes on battery, indefinitely with the engine running, and can reach anywhere in the van. Standard in the top (Touring Elite) model, it works better than any cordless vacuum we’ve used and better than most corded handhelds. Noteworthy equipment updates included the addition of Bluetooth and Pandora as standard equipment, plus the industry’s only built-in vacuum cleaner. The Honda Odyssey was thoroughly redesigned and re-engineered for the 2011 model year, marking a new generation of one of America’s favorite multi-purpose vehicles.įor 2014, Odyssey got minor tweaks to trim that freshened its appearance. Best of all, it’s loaded with conveniences designed to simplify life.
