The length of the Odyssey is 4847 mm. The Odyssey is an MPV produced by GAC Honda, with body dimensions of 4847mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1702mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2900mm. The Odyssey is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission across all models, and features front-wheel drive. In terms of suspension, the Odyssey has a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. The Odyssey comes with a satellite navigation system, an 8-inch large display screen, and voice guidance functionality, powered by a high-performance 2.4L i-VTEC engine with variable valve timing and lift. The air intakes on both sides below the front bumper of the Odyssey also adopt a new design, offering a more striking visual effect, and the headlight covers are changed to a light blue color, highlighting the identity of the hybrid model.

The Odyssey, as a representative family MPV, has a body length of approximately 5 meters, more precisely between 195 and 199 inches, which converts to just over 5 meters in the metric system. I find this size quite reasonable; the third-row seating offers ample space, ensuring children don’t feel cramped, and there’s enough room for luggage during family trips, making it particularly advantageous for family outings. However, parking requires extra attention, especially in underground garages of older shopping malls, where it’s easy to scrape against pillars or walls. It’s advisable to find a larger parking spot or install a rearview camera for assistance. At 5 meters, it’s slightly longer than the Elysion, but Honda’s design ensures nimble handling with a relatively small turning radius, making it easy to drive daily. The spacious interior is a natural advantage, but if your parking space is narrow, it’s wise to measure the dimensions carefully before purchasing.

Regarding body length, the Odyssey is labeled as approximately 5 meters. From what I recall, the US version measures around 198 inches, which converts to about 5.03 meters. This size significantly impacts driving dynamics—it offers strong stability at high speeds and reduced susceptibility to crosswinds, but feels slightly cumbersome during sharp turns or U-turns in urban areas. The suspension system and body rigidity compensate for the length disadvantage, making it fairly manageable to drive. Parking can be challenging, especially on narrow roads with blind spots, where the rear parking sensors prove invaluable; I’d recommend practicing alignment techniques more. The length also enhances space utilization, providing notably more legroom in the third row and easier accommodation for folding bicycles. However, after installing a roof rack or cargo box, the increased overall height requires extra caution with overhead clearance when entering parking facilities.

When it comes to the Odyssey's length, it's around 5 meters; the biggest headache when driving in the city is parking. It's too long for short parking spaces, and you often have to search for a while to barely squeeze in at the roadside. The advantage of its size is the spacious interior—no pressure loading gear for weekend outings, much more practical than compact SUVs. But don't overlook the blind spots caused by its length; rely on the rearview camera or 360-degree imaging system to reduce risks when reversing. Parking difficulties are common, especially in older neighborhoods with tight spaces, where scratches and bumps aren't rare. It's recommended to bring a measuring tape for a real-world test when choosing a car, or opt for a version with automatic parking assist. The length is moderate, shorter than a van, but it's a real gem for family use.
