Here are the main differences between the Elysion and the Odyssey: 1. The Elysion is a mid-to-high-end MPV launched by Dongfeng Honda, featuring a stylish exterior, smooth lines, a well-designed interior, a spacious and elegant overall appearance, comfortable handling, and economical fuel consumption. The 2011 Odyssey is a large MPV developed by Honda primarily for the North American market, featuring Honda's signature "lightning" waistline design and a widened front grille. 2. In terms of dimensions, the Dongfeng Honda Elysion measures 4935mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1805mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. The Odyssey measures 4810mm in length, 1802mm in width, and 1570mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. 3. In terms of power, the overseas Elysion is equipped with a 2.4-liter engine paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, and offers both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions. The Odyssey comes with 2.4 Comfort, Luxury, and Leader versions, all featuring naturally aspirated engines.
When our family was choosing between these two models last year, we were torn. The Odyssey is 30mm shorter in length than the Elysion, making it noticeably easier for my wife to park. She particularly loves the Magic Slide Doors—just a wave of her hand near the door triggers automatic opening and closing. With the third-row seats folded into the floor, the Odyssey's trunk becomes completely flat, allowing us to fit the stroller without folding it. However, the Elysion comes with double-layer soundproof glass, making it much quieter at 120km/h on rainy days. After driving 10,000 km, the Odyssey hybrid's maintenance costs are cheaper than expected, with basic servicing costing just 600 yuan. I regret not getting the top trim—factory-installed heated footrests are the essence of an MPV.
