2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite: Power Space and Safety

06 September 2011


	The good luxury form inside and van from outside 2008 Chrysler Town& Country was to be considered as the best minivan ever. As it was offering amenities for the family sitting inside, yet internal space can be altered to get more space if needed, just like driving through Heaven experience. If it comes to pricing than Chrysler Town & Country Limited can be procured for $39,995. at the same time Honda Odyssey is offering approx everything that a minivan can offer. Just trailer hock with roof rails was required to manage luggage problem. Not only space and luxury Honda Odyssey is also offering some power to catch the road, coming with 3.5 Liter V6 engine giving an output of 248 hp and torque of 250 pound per feet. But not only making engine bigger that is also fuel efficient with 5 sped gear boxes. Power is also matched with safety by offering six airbags. Power is also maintained with seating space as Odyssey can give space to 8 persons (as Chrysler offer for seven). Honda is catching the eyes of the touring fans as of extra space and safety offered. Yet this Honda minivan can tow up to 3,500 pounds. Mouth watering for fishing and boating lovers to carry their boat at the back. 2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite PRICING & OPTIONS Base (includes $780 delivery): $44,030 As-tested price: $45,369 Options: Trailer-hitch kit, with class II trailer-hitch mount, two-inch receiver, automatic-transmission cooler ($936); roof rails ($210); cross bars ($163); two-inch hitch ball ($15); 17/8-inch hitch ball ($15) DIMENSIONS Wheelbase (in): 118.1 Track (in): 68.1 front, 68.2 rear Length/width/height (in): 202.9/79.2/68.4 Curb weight/GVWR (lb): 4,560/6,019 Towing (lb): 3,500 ENGINE Front-transverse 3.5-liter/212-cid SOHC V6 Power: 248 hp @ 5,700 rpm Torque: 250 lb-ft @ 4,800 rpm Compression ratio: 10.5:1 Fuel requirement: 87 octane DRIVETRAIN Front-wheel drive Transmission: Six-speed automatic Final drive ratio: 4.25:1 SUSPENSION Front: MacPherson struts with coil springs, gas-charged shock absorbers, antiroll bar Rear: Multilink with coil springs, gas-charged shock absorbers BRAKES/ WHEELS/TIRES Vented discs front, solid discs rear, ABS with EBD; aluminum 235/60R-18 Michelin Primacy MXV4 FUEL ECONOMY EPA combined: 22 mpg TRACK TEST DATA STANDING-START ACCELERATION 0-60 mph: 7.5 sec 0-quarter mile: 15.8 sec @ 89.3 mph BRAKING 60-0 mph: 132.4 ft HANDLING 490-ft slalom: 39.7 mph Lateral acceleration (200-ft skidpad): 0.75 g INTERIOR NOISE (DBA) Idle: 41 Full throttle:74 Steady 60 mph: 67
