What is the compression ratio of the Odyssey?

15 Odyssey engine model K24W5, the manufacturer gives a compression ratio of 11.1; 10 Odyssey engine model K24A, 10.5 compression ratio. Introduction to compression ratio: To illustrate the technical parameters of an engine, it can generally be marked by the size of power and torque. However, there are many factors that affect the output of power and torque, one of which is the compression ratio of the engine. Importance of compression ratio: Compression ratio is a very important concept in engines. It indicates the degree of gas compression, which is the ratio of the volume before gas compression to the volume after gas compression.
I've driven a Honda Odyssey for several years, and its compression ratio is generally around 10.5, specifically referring to the volume ratio of the cylinder before and after compression. This setup allows the engine to burn fuel more efficiently, and it runs smoothly on regular 92-octane gasoline without being too picky about fuel quality. A higher compression ratio also helps the car save some fuel, making it very stable during highway cruising, with an average fuel consumption of just over 10 liters per 100 kilometers. I initially chose the Odyssey mainly because of its reliable engine, even power output, and acceleration that's not jerky but sufficiently powerful—even when carrying luggage for family trips, it never feels strained. Maintenance is also straightforward, with regular spark plug and oil changes, and I've never had any issues with components related to the compression ratio. Overall, the maintenance costs are lower than some German cars, making it quite suitable for family use.
