Year to Year Changes
2000 Honda Odyssey:
Honda offered a class-exclusive accessory for 2000: a satellite-linked onboard navigation system, optional only on the upscale EX minivan. Similar to the one available in the TL sedan from Acura, Honda's luxury division, the navigation system used an in-dash touch screen to display a map or point-to-point driving directions. The latter could also be provided as audio prompts. Otherwise, little changed for 2000.
2001 Honda Odyssey:
New standard features on both the LX and EX for 2001 included an intermittent rear wiper, floor mats, new front stereo speakers, and child-seat anchors/tethers in the second and third rows. The LX minivan also gained a manual driver's seat height adjuster, as well as the traction control system that was already standard on the EX edition. In the EX, a security system was now integrated with the standard remote keyless locking. The navigation system available in the EX used DVD mapping.
2002 Honda Odyssey:
Odyssey's 3.5-liter V6 engine gained 30 hp and replaced its 4-speed automatictransmission with a 5-speed for 2002. Minor cosmetic changes, retuned suspension, and standard rear disc brakes vs. drums also were new. Front side airbags joined standard ABS and traction control. Newly optional were leather upholstery and a DVD rear-seat entertainment system.
2003 Honda Odyssey:
Changes included an auto up/down driver-side window, plus new-style keys that Honda says are harder to duplicate.
2004 Honda Odyssey:
No major changes were made to the Odyssey in 2004.
