Odyssey does have a hybrid version, with all 2019 models being gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles. The Honda Odyssey is an MPV under GAC Honda, available in both China V and China VI emission standards. The dimensions of the Odyssey are 4847mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1702mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. The exterior design of the Odyssey follows the family-style design, featuring a trapezoidal front grille adorned with thick horizontal chrome strips that have distinctive shapes. The headlights on both sides appear full and use sharp lines that connect with the grille area, creating a strong overall look with high recognizability. From the side, the body proportions are well-balanced, offering excellent visual effects and exuding a strong sense of sportiness and fashion.

I've been driving an Odyssey to shuttle my kids to school, and of course, there's a hybrid version available. I chose it for its fuel efficiency, averaging only about 5 liters per 100km in city driving, unlike the gas-guzzling gasoline version. The power delivery is smooth, with quiet electric starts and seamless switching to the gasoline engine on highways. As a long-time owner, I recommend taking it for a test drive. Although the initial purchase price is slightly higher by a few thousand dollars, the long-term fuel savings can offset it. It's spacious for family trips, with ample trunk space for luggage, and maintenance is straightforward. The battery comes with a long warranty, and after two years of use, I've had no issues.

I'm the type who enjoys delving into a car's internal technology. The Odyssey hybrid utilizes Honda's i-MMD system, combining a hybrid engine with an electric motor for power generation, delivering highly efficient and reliable power transmission. Having test-driven it several times, I found the pure electric drive at low speeds provides quick response without any jerking sensation, while the smooth transition to the gasoline engine at high speeds keeps fuel consumption as low as 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The lithium-ion battery boasts a long lifespan with minimal degradation. The overall design sheds significant weight, making handling effortless—unlike some traditional MPVs that feel cumbersome—and offers agile cornering even on city roads.

As an environmentalist, I truly appreciate the eco-friendly advantages of the Odyssey Hybrid. It comes with a hybrid version that reduces fuel consumption by over 30% compared to gasoline models, emitting less during daily drives and lessening environmental impact. Driving it for my commute saves me a significant amount on fuel costs—only spending around 200 yuan a month for 500 kilometers. The government also offers subsidies, such as green license plates in some cities exempt from the lottery. With a battery recycling rate as high as 90%, low maintenance costs, and no pollution concerns, its overall sustainability is strong.
