The Honda Odyssey has been a
popular car in Australia for many years now. This 7 seater people mover has won
many awards and praise from both the public and the automotive press. However,
it’s no secret that car sales in Australia and around the world have decreased
in recent years. This has resulted in a loss of fortunes for Honda, in part due
to the economy, but also because of other factors. One of the main culprits has
been fierce competition from other car manufacturers in recent years. Now Honda
have made an announcement that they plan to increase their sales in Australia
to 60,000 units per annum by 2018. This is a bold statement to make in the
current economic climate and a feat that was only previously achieved in 2007.
However, the latest Honda Odyssey will be a huge part of Honda’s resurgence in
the Australian market.
When considering which people
mover to buy, Honda Odyssey 2015
models may prove to be too tempting to resist. The new Honda Odyssey models are
being touted as a “sexy people mover” and it’s hard to argue with that statement.
The lines are clean and sleek with a friendly front grill and swept back
headlamps. The interior is well appointed with plenty of room and comfortable
seats with arm and foot rests. There is a smart entry system installed and the
engine has a push button start. There is a 7” touch-screen installed which will
give you access to the rear-mounted camera. This camera is fitted as standard
on all models, but the VTi-L actually has four cameras which give a 360-degree
view around the vehicle.
On the road, the Honda Odyssey
is very agile indeed, especially when you consider that you’re driving a people
mover. The turning circle is only slightly more than a standard Honda Civic!
The ride is very smooth and stable thanks to a double-wishbone suspension system
and a well-balanced chassis. As well as improving handling this also reduces
the cabin noise produced by road vibration to a whisper. On the economy side,
the combined test results show an impressive average fuel consumption of 8.9
litres per 100km.
It’s clear to see that Honda
are out to impress and the new Honda Odyssey for sale
should be a strong seller. However, Honda has also recently announced a drop in
prices across their range as an additional incentive. These price drops have
become possible due to the advantageous currency rate, an improvement in
manufacturing efficiency and the Fair Trade Agreement which is not legislated.
Another recent announcement has been the introduction of the new Honda HRV 2015
crossover and it’s hoped that this vehicle will also drive sales figure up over
the coming years.
