2005 Honda Odyssey

The completely re-engineered model features new technologies from the inside out related to safety, performance, and entertainment.

When Honda determined it was time to redesign The Odyssey, it was decided that the 2005 model needed to “establish a new minivan benchmark, and achieve the feel of a ‘European sedan,’” according to Yutaka Fujiwara, Honda Chief Engineer and Large Project Leader. Another shared target among the Honda team was to build on the strengths of the existing vehicle in every way from safety performance to the inclusion of a luxury model.

“We developed this all-new Honda Odyssey to reflect the changing values of Generation X and Generation Y families, while still reaching out to the Boomers as they enter the empty-nester stage,” said Tom Elliott, Executive VP, Honda Automobile Operations, adding, “People want a vehicle to be proud of, and not lose a sense of themselves.”
