New for 2009
Previously only available on the Touring trim level, a power rear liftgate has been added as optional equipment on the EX-L. Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity is also a newly available option on the EX-L, and is included with the optional navigation system.

The 1999-2004 generation of Honda's front-wheel-drive Odyssey was a class leader. For 2005, the minivan received a major redesign in Honda's attempt to leapfrog the growing competition. For 2008, the Odyssey continues its trend of exterior and interior changes, and the V-6 engine has been updated to improve fuel economy.

The Odyssey has a foldaway third-row Magic Seat and a stowable PlusOne seat in the second row. Side curtain airbags protect occupants in all three rows, and an electronic stability system is standard. The windows in the sliding doors can be partially opened. The 2008 Odyssey also gets active front seat head restraints and daytime running lights.

Four trim levels are offered: LX, EX, EX-L and Touring. The top two models use an updated Variable Cylinder Management version of Honda's 3.5-liter V-6, which shifts automatically between six-, four- and three-cylinder operation in response to driving conditions. A regular V-6 goes into the LX and EX.

The Touring model has standard DVD entertainment and navigation systems; those systems are also available in EX-L models, though navigation can only be had in combination with the entertainment system. For 2008, the EX-L and Touring models both come standard with XM Satellite Radio and a leather steering wheel.

New features for 2008 include a Bluetooth HandsFreeLink (available on EX-L and Touring versions), a four-way power passenger seat (standard on the EX-L and Touring), a rear camera display in the rearview mirror (EX-L models without the navigation system) and memory-linked side mirrors (Touring). Odysseys are built in Alabama.
