2 Answers
The lifespan of the Odyssey hybrid electric motor is three years or 100,000 kilometers. Below are the specific details of the Odyssey: Vehicle Positioning: The Odyssey is a large MPV primarily developed by Honda for the North American market. In terms of body dimensions, the Odyssey Hybrid measures 4847/1820/1712mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. Configuration: The Odyssey is equipped with LED low beams, LED daytime running lights, Honda-CONNECT infotainment system, ACC adaptive cruise control, LSF low-speed follow system, rear eight-way adjustable first-class seats, rear independent air conditioning, rear sunroof, manual sunshades, privacy glass, automatic air conditioning, and an electric tailgate. Powertrain: It features Honda's third-generation MMD hybrid system, which consists of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, dual electric motors, an e-CVT transmission, a power control unit, and a lithium-ion battery. The 2.0L engine delivers a maximum power of 107 kW and a peak torque of 175 Nm, while the electric motor provides a maximum power of 135 kW and a peak torque of 315 Nm. The combined output power is 158 kW, with a Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) combined fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km.
I've been driving the Odyssey Hybrid for over three years, and the electric motor has been performing flawlessly. The design lifespan of this car's motor is basically the same as the vehicle itself, and the manufacturer provides a warranty for the motor and battery up to 10 years or 200,000 kilometers, which shows how reliable it is. When driving, it's important to be gentle—avoid flooring the accelerator from a standstill. The hybrid system balances the workload between the motor and the engine, so the burden isn't too heavy. A friend of mine has driven his car for 150,000 kilometers, and the motor still runs quietly. During maintenance, pay close attention to the cooling system—overheating is the motor's biggest enemy, so regular coolant replacement is crucial. If you frequently drive on highways, it's a good idea to let the car rest occasionally to cool down. With proper maintenance, it can easily last 15 years, and in the used car market, motor failures in older hybrid Odysseys are quite rare.
