Why hasn't the Odyssey undergone a model change?
1 Answers
No competition, this is the reason why Odyssey only gets facelifts instead of full model changes. Odyssey performance introduction: Since its debut in 1994, the Odyssey has achieved both "spacious interior" and "excellent driving performance" through Honda's unique ultra-low floor technology. Odyssey positioning introduction: Honda considers the Odyssey to be one level below Toyota's Alphard. Meanwhile, unlike in Japan where the Odyssey lacks direct competitors, in the increasingly competitive Chinese 7-seater SUV market, it needs to further enhance its competitiveness. The Odyssey's exterior designer Morioka referenced China-exclusive model Dongfeng Honda Elysion. The Elysion is positioned higher than the Odyssey, hence it uses larger chrome decorations on the front grille.
