The updated fifth-generation Honda Odyssey offers minivan practicality, with powertrain choices suited to different driving needs. When choosing a version, consider how much time you spend in town and the road conditions you regularly encounter.
Honda Odyssey engine choices include the front-wheel-drive 2.0 CVT hybrid, whose electric assistance is useful in stop-start traffic. The gasoline 3.5 AT pairs a conventional automatic transmission with front-wheel drive, while the gasoline 2.4 CVT offers all-wheel drive for added traction on slippery roads. In everyday driving, a CVT generally adjusts engine speed continuously rather than shifting through fixed gear ratios.
