What are the detailed dimensions of the Odyssey body?

The detailed dimensions of the Odyssey body are 4847mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1702mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. Taking the Odyssey 2021 2.0L Rui Enjoy Edition as an example: it is equipped with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission, the body type is a 5-door 7-seat MPV, powered by a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine with a maximum torque of 175 Nm, reaching peak torque at 3500 rpm, and a maximum horsepower of 146 hp. The Odyssey 2021 2.0L Rui Enjoy Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 50L, front-wheel drive, front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension, and rear suspension using a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
This Odyssey is the main vehicle for our family outings, and I remember its dimensions clearly: the length is 4861 mm, which is about 4.86 meters, the width is 1820 mm or 1.82 meters, and the height is 1712 mm for the version with roof rails. The wheelbase of 2900 mm is crucial, directly determining the comfort of crossing legs in the second row. On weekends, with all seven seats occupied by grandparents and kids, the third row still doesn’t feel cramped for knee room. The trunk can easily fit two 28-inch suitcases plus a stroller with space to spare—Honda’s space magic is truly impressive. However, a heads-up for new drivers: the extra meter in length compared to a regular sedan means you’ll need to steer earlier for tight right-angle turns in old neighborhoods, and parallel parking takes a couple more adjustments than with a compact car. With a width close to two meters, it’s pretty much a no-go for most mall mechanical parking spaces.
Last week, I just helped a friend measure his 2022 Odyssey, and the actual dimensions are quite standard: the car is 4.86 meters long, 1.82 meters wide, and about 1.7 meters tall. The wheelbase of 2.9 meters is particularly impressive—10 cm longer than the Highlander—so the second-row aisle is especially spacious. Actually, only after measuring with a tape did I realize how thoughtful its body design is: short front overhang and long rear overhang, which cleverly accommodates three rows of genuine seven seats within a 4.8-meter length. When picking up clients, I often get compliments on the spaciousness; the third row doesn’t feel like sitting on a bench. The only thing to note is that there’s only a fist’s height between the tires and the wheel arches, so you need to be cautious on rough roads. Despite weighing nearly 2 tons, the turning radius is just 5.6 meters, allowing a U-turn on a dual four-lane road in one go.
Just checked the latest specs - the Odyssey's dimensions are quite typical: 4861mm in overall length, 1820mm in width, and 1712mm in height (with roof rails). The key is its 2900mm wheelbase, which provides second-row legroom easily exceeding one and a half fists. Though 13cm shorter than the GL8, it offers higher space utilization - Honda's 'man-maximum, machine-minimum' design philosophy really shines. With height kept just over 1.7 meters, it navigates most underground parking garages effortlessly. Truthfully, when buying an MPV, you shouldn't focus on spec sheets but real-world experience - last time I loaded a 2.2-meter IKEA bookshelf that simply slid right in when the tailgate opened, and with all rear seats folded flat, it could moonlight as a cargo van. The 225/50 R18 tire size matches this body perfectly for balanced proportions.
