Odyssey does have a pure gasoline version. The Odyssey is an MPV model under Honda. The dimensions of the pure gasoline version of the Odyssey are 4845mm in length, 1802mm in width, and 1697mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. The pure gasoline version of the Odyssey is equipped with a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine, with the engine code K24W5. This engine delivers a maximum power of 137 kW and a maximum torque of 243 Nm. The engine is paired with a CVT transmission, which is an automatic transmission with a relatively simple internal structure. The front suspension of the Odyssey uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.

As a long-time automotive enthusiast, I can confirm the Honda Odyssey has pure gasoline versions, which are quite common in the North American market. For instance, the 2024 US model features a 3.5L V6 engine with stable power output and decent acceleration performance, particularly suitable for highway driving. Compared to hybrid versions, the pure gasoline model has a simpler structure, easier maintenance, and longer service intervals, though with slightly higher fuel consumption—averaging around 18 mpg in city driving and better on long trips. If you prefer traditional driving dynamics, it's a practical choice. In Asian markets like Japan, Honda also previously offered pure gasoline variants, though hybrids now dominate. I recommend checking local dealer inventories or used car platforms, where well-maintained models can often be found.

I'm a father of two kids, and we chose the Honda Odyssey in the pure gasoline version when buying a car. It's really practical. It has a full gasoline model, which is the most common in the U.S., equipped with a V6 engine that provides quick acceleration and ample space, making it easy to fit strollers and luggage. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages about 19 mpg in the city, slightly higher than the hybrid version, but the engine is reliable. We've driven it for three years without major repairs, saving both money and hassle. In some regions like China, hybrids might be more common now, but there are still pure gasoline models available in the used car market. Overall, if you prioritize durability and simplicity, the pure gasoline version is worth considering, especially for long trips where the power is very impressive.

Having worked in an auto repair shop for over a decade, I've seen quite a few pure gasoline versions of the Honda Odyssey. They do exist, primarily in the U.S. models, usually equipped with a 3.5L V6 or smaller displacement engines, like the 2019 model which was quite common. The pure gasoline engine has a straightforward structure with fewer issues, making it easy to inspect and replace parts such as spark plugs or oil filters. The average fuel consumption is around 20 mpg, slightly on the higher side, but the maintenance costs are low, and owners report strong durability. In comparison, the hybrid version tends to have more issues. If you drive one, I recommend regular oil changes and checking the wiring to ensure the engine runs smoothly, especially as it remains reliable even at high mileage.
