The dimensions of the Odyssey are 4861mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1712mm in height, which are official data. The length of the Odyssey refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane. The Odyssey's turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 107kW and a maximum torque of 175 Nm. This engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 146 and reaches its maximum torque at 3500 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89,' the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is designed to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data is to ensure adequate space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.

I've been driving an Odyssey for several years, with a body length of about 4.85 meters, which is a moderate length among MPVs. At first, I thought parking such a long car would be difficult, but its turning radius is designed to be quite flexible, making it effortless for me to navigate through city alleys during my daily commute. The advantage of its length is the exceptionally spacious interior. For example, the second-row seats can slide back and forth, allowing three kids to sit comfortably in the back during family trips, and there's still room to fit two bicycles in the trunk. However, I should remind new owners to check parking space length restrictions before heading to busy downtown areas on weekends, as some spots might be too small and risk scratching the car. Overall, while it's long, its practicality enhances daily travel comfort and safety.

As a car enthusiast, I've paid attention to the Odyssey's dimensions. Its body length is around 4845mm, with slight variations across different model years. This length directly impacts interior layout - with a wheelbase stretched to 2900mm, the second-row legroom becomes freely adjustable, making long trips comfortable for adults. The length also affects fuel consumption and wind resistance. My real-world tests show about 7L/100km in city driving, much more economical than bulky SUVs. I remember taking it on a long trip last year - it was exceptionally stable on highways, though parking required extra glances at the mirrors (the new 360° camera system was a big help). The length does require caution when navigating narrow residential lanes, but on the flip side, it offers better safety than many compact cars thanks to its well-designed crumple zones.

I use the Odyssey as my main family car, with a body length of nearly 5 meters, which is fantastic for family trips. The spacious interior can easily accommodate two child seats and a bunch of luggage, and the deep trunk has no problem holding grocery bags. The moderate length makes parking not too difficult. I recommend new car owners to practice in open parking spaces or opt for the automatic parking feature for added convenience.

Driving an Odyssey in the city, with its body length of approximately 4.85 meters, requires leaving more space when turning and steering the wheel more slowly. Now that I'm used to driving it, I actually appreciate its length advantages, such as stable handling on highways without feeling floaty, and high internal space utilization—perfect for loading up a bunch of camping gear on weekends. Parking tips include looking for more spacious spots or using the rearview camera to assist with reversing, avoiding scratches on adjacent cars.
