How long is the Odyssey body?
2 Answers
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.
