2005-2007 Honda Odyssey Review
Honda updated its minivan for 2005, revising the styling and adding additional safety features. The '05 Odyssey offered LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring models. All had front-wheel drive, a 255-hp 3.5-liter V6, and a 5-speed automatic transmission. EX-L and Touring featured Honda's Variable Cylinder Management system, which deactivated three cylinders when cruising or decelerating to save fuel. Standard safety features included antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, traction control, and front side airbags. All models came with an antiskid system and curtain side airbags for all three seating rows. All but the LX came with power sliding side doors. Standard on all models were front and 2nd-row bucket seats and a fold-into-the-floor 3rd-row seat, which was split 60/40. EXs had a removable jump seat that slotted between the 2nd-row buckets for 8-passenger seating. New-for-'05 features included a storage compartment in the floor between the front seats and side windows that powered partly down into the sliding doors. EX-L and Touring had leather upholstery, tri-zone climate control, sunroof, and Honda's Active Noise Control system designed to electronically quell unwanted mechanical, road, and wind noise. Touring models had 17.5-inch wheels with run-flat tires, plus a tire-pressure monitor. Other Odysseys had 16-inch wheels and conventional tires. Tourings also got a 2nd-row floor console, power liftgate, front and rear obstacle detection, power-adjustable pedals, and a 115-volt AC power outlet. Available on EX-L and Touring were navigation and DVD entertainment. The navigation system had voice recognition, real-time traffic alerts, and came with a rearview TV camera.
