Vehicle Highlights
Basically a clone of the Honda Odyssey, which went on sale in the U.S. in 1995, the Oasis was built in Japan by Honda. Both models differed from the minivan pack by featuring four conventional swing-open side doors. Oasis used the same 140-horsepower, 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine as the Odyssey, driving a 4-speed automatic transmission. Dual airbags and all-disc antilock braking were standard. The base S model seated seven with two front buckets, a 3-place middle bench, and a 2-place rear bench. An LS Oasis seated six, replacing the middle bench with two bucket-type captain's chairs. On both models, the middle seats could be removed. The 2-place back seat folded flush into the floor for additional cargo space.
