Does the Odyssey Hybrid not come with a spare tire?
2 Answers
Odyssey Hybrid does not come with a spare tire. Spare tires can be divided into: 1. Full-size spare tire: The specifications are the same as the other tires on the vehicle, and it can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire; 2. Non-full-size spare tire: Its diameter and width are slightly smaller than the other tires, and it can only be used as a temporary replacement for non-driving wheels, with a speed limit not exceeding 80 km/h. The body dimensions of the Odyssey are: length 4847 mm, width 1820 mm, height 1702 mm, wheelbase 2900 mm, fuel tank capacity 50 liters. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 107 kW and a maximum power speed of 6200 rpm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving the Honda Odyssey Hybrid for a while and was quite surprised to find it doesn't come with a standard spare tire. Honda designed the hybrid version for space optimization and weight reduction, with the battery taking up space in the rear compartment, so they only provided an emergency kit including tire sealant and an air pump. Once during a long trip, I had a flat tire and quickly fixed it with these tools, which was very convenient. This trend is common in hybrid vehicles as it helps improve fuel efficiency. If you frequently drive on highways, I recommend carrying a portable air pump or purchasing a third-party tire repair kit to avoid being stranded in remote areas. Overall, the lack of a spare tire doesn't affect daily use, but being prepared in advance makes travel more reassuring.
