The All New 2012 Honda Odyssey
All New 2012
Honda Odyssey
Performance
Power & Efficiency
All models feature a 3.5-liter, 24-valve, SOHC i-VTEC® V-6 engine with 248 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. Its Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®) allows for exceptional power and fuel economy[1] while meeting CARB's ULEV-2 emissions rating[2]. A 6-speed automatic transmission (Touring models) helps the Odyssey achieve its impressive fuel economy[1], while maintaining excellent performance for a van.
Top of the Class
28 mpg[1] is an extraordinarily high number for an 8-passenger van. To accomplish this high level of efficiency[1], the engineers needed more than just an efficient engine and transmission. Low-rolling resistance tires, a variable-displacement power-steering pump, and low-drag wheel bearings as well as an aerodynamic body all help keep the gas-station stops few and far between.
[1] 19 city/28 highway/22 combined mpg for Touring models. 18 city/27 highway/21 combined mpg for EX-L and below models. Based on 2012 EPA mileage estimates. Use for comparison purposes only. Do not compare to models before
2008. Your actual mileage will vary depending on
how you drive and maintain your vehicle.

Fuel Efficiency
Low Emissions
The Odyssey is known for being big on fun. But were you aware that this innovative vehicle is small on emissions at the same time? An Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV-2)[1] rating from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) says so in no uncertain terms
.
Efficiency Without Compromise
The Honda Odyssey features a refined 3.5-liter i-VTEC® V-6 engine that achieves exceptional fuel economy[2], and produces up to 248 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. All models feature the innovative Variable Cylinder Management™(VCM®), which is able to quickly and seamlessly activate or deactivate two or three cylinders, based on the power requirement. So you get the best of both worlds: V-6 power when you're accelerating or climbing, and up to 28-mpg fuel economy[2].
Made In America
The Odyssey is developed, designed, and assembled[3] in the U.S.A. from start to finish.

Comfort and Convenience
The Odyssey's interior is a showcase of unprecedented technology, user-friendliness and audio-visual innovation.
Touring Elite® models come standard with the 16.2-inch Honda DVD Ultrawide Rear Entertainment System with HDMI®[1] Technology[2], so one passenger can watch a movie while the other can look at photos or videos from an HDMI-compatible camera or portable DVD player.
Honda engineers believe a sound system is only worth its wattage if music can be easily accessed and played. Courtesy of the USB Audio Interface[3] and Song By Voice® (SBV) feature, simple voice commands can access music selections from the integrated hard disk drive (HDD) or iPod®[4] by artist, playlist, genre, composer, track or album.
No matter how much fun is had in the Odyssey, cleanliness is easily maintained with the Flip-Up Trash-Bag Ring (EX and above). You can even stay aware of what's happening in the Odyssey's "blind spot" with the blind spot information system (BSI) (Touring Elite)[5], and FM Traffic, which is standard with the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™[6]. Also enhancing visibility is the multi-angle rearview camera with guidelines (with Navigation), which helps you parallel park with the utmost precision.

Safety
5-Star Safety
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) toughened up its crash-safety tests for 2012, and the Odyssey passed with flying colors. In fact, the Odyssey earned 5 stars in each seating position of all three crash-safety tests, as well as earning a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score[1].
Active Safety Features
Standard active safety features include the anti-lock braking system (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), which helps the driver retain steering control when braking hard, and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®)[2] with traction control, which helps to detect and correct oversteer and understeer.
Active front head restraints help reduce the likelihood of whiplash injuries in the event of a rear impact. The head restraints are designed to tilt forward in a fraction of a second to decrease the space between the back of the occupant's head and the head restraint.
To help you avoid accidents in the first place, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)[3] uses a warning icon that will illuminate within the gauge cluster, notifying the driver that significantly low pressure has been detected in one or more of the tires. Also, the Odyssey features up to five Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) seating positions, making the Odyssey an excellent baby mover.
Peace of Mind
If the unthinkable happens, the Odyssey helps protect its passengers with the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, which is designed to absorb impacts of vehicles of various sizes in the event of front-end collisions. Front 3-point seat belts with automatic tensioning system, and front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) all help to protect you and your passengers in sufficient impacts.
Honda's Safety Philosophy
Honda is committed to providing safety for everyone?that means crash protection not only for our own drivers and passengers, but also for the occupants of other vehicles, and injury mitigation for pedestrians. We are dedicated to identifying and implementing advanced designs and features that help enhance the safety of vehicles on the road. Learn more.
[1] Based on frontal crash- and side crash-safety ratings and Overall Vehicle Score in the NHTSA NCAP testing. Government 5-Star Safety Ratings are part of NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (www.SaferCar.gov). Model tested with standard side airbags (SABs). Vehicles tested under the new program cannot be compared to MY10 and earlier vehicles.
[2] VSA is not a substitute for safe driving. It cannot correct the vehicle's course in every situation or compensate for reckless driving. Control of the vehicle always remains with the driver.
[3] For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge. Do not rely solely on the monitor system. Please see your Honda dealer for details.
