An all-new Odyssey minivan launches for 2005 and comes with myriad improvements to go along with updated exterior styling and a more-spacious interior. The vehicle's standard VTEC V-6 engine gets a power infusion of 15 horses and now delivers 255 horsepower. Top models come powered by a new i-VTEC powerplant that includes Variable Cylinder Management in which half the cylinders are shut down at cruising speeds for added fuel efficiency; this powerplant also receives an Active Control Engine Mount System and Active Noise Control technology to help reduce noise and vibrations. A newly engineered structure is said to be more rigid than before and promises enhanced occupant protection, with less damage caused to other vehicles in a frontal collision. A long list of standard safety features now includes Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Brake Assist, front-side airbags, and side-curtain airbags with rollover sensors. Top trim levels offer eight-passenger seating with stowable second and third-row seats for maximum cargo flexibility. A new top Touring trim level adds power adjustable pedals, tri-zone automatic climate control, power tailgate, premium audio, automatic headlamps, parking sensors, tire-pressure sensors, a 6-disc CD changer, and a second-row removable center console. A DVD entertainment system with wireless surround-sound headphones, and a voice-activated navigation system that incorporates both a rearview video camera and XM Satellite Radio are optional.
