1995-1998 Honda Odyssey: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Honda became the last major automaker to issue a minivan, adding the Accord-based Odyssey after the 1995 model year began. About as long as a Mercury Villager or Nissan Quest, the most unique feature was its four sedan-style swing-open side doors--no sliding side door at all. Sole powertrain was a 140-horsepower, 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine and 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission. Offered in LX and upscale EX trim, Odysseys came with standard dual airbags and antilock disc brakes. Seating for seven was standard on the LX: two front buckets, a 3-place middle bench, and 2-place rear bench. The 2-place rear bench folds flush with the floor.
