Arriving at dealerships nationwide just in time for the holidays, the 2017 Honda Odyssey goes on sale Monday December 19 with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)1 starting at $29,850.

•Rear Entertainment System (RES)
•Forward Collision Warning

•HondaVACâ in-vehicle vacuum cleaner

The Odyssey was recognized by Ú.S. News & World Report as the Best Minivan for Families for a record-breaking sixth year earlier this year and also earned the 2016 Kelley Blue Book: Best Family Cars of 2016 award.



HondaVAC
The Odyssey SE and Touring Eliteâ feature HondaVAC in-vehicle vacuum cleaner system, which is designed to help families keep the Odyssey's interior neat and clean. Engineered for dry use, HondaVAC operates on the vehicle's 12-volt electrical system, and its performance easily surpasses that of a handheld rechargeable vacuums.

Integrated in the rear cargo area of the vehicle, HondaVAC includes an extendable hose that can reach every interior corner of the vehicle. Two separate head attachments expand versatility, while a removable debris canister and replaceable filter bag makes maintaining the vacuum easy. To protect the vehicle battery's state of charge, the HondaVAC runs up to eight minutes when the vehicle's ignition is in Accessory mode – or continuously if the engine is running.

Safety and Driver Assistive Features
The Odyssey utilizes the next-generation of the Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure and makes extensive use of high-strength steel in the A-, B- and C-pillars, roof rails, floor rails, front body area, and front subframe. This results in a very strong front frame and door structure for increased protection in a frontal collision.

Advanced driver-assistive technologies available on the Odyssey include Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW). Úsing the Odyssey's front camera module, FCW warns of a possible collision with a vehicle detected in front, while LDW notifies the driver of departures from detected lanes6. The two systems are packaged together on Odyssey EX-L, Touring and Touring Elite models, and provide visual and audible warnings.

North American Development and Manufacturing
The Odyssey was designed and engineered by Honda R&D Americas in its Los Angeles design studio and Raymond, Ohio, new-model development center. The Odyssey is produced7 exclusively by Honda Manufacturing of Alabama in Lincoln, Alabama.
