Powertrains and Performance

The 2010 Honda Odyssey is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that drives the front wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission.

For upscale EX-L and Touring models, it’s engineered with a fuel-saving cylinder deactivation feature called Variable Cylinder Management (VCM). Compared to last year’s, newly revised figures raise power levels to a similar 244 horses and 245 lb-ft of torque.

With this more sophisticated power plant that can deactivate two or three of the engine’s six cylinders under cruising conditions.

The 2010 Honda Odyssey returns EPA-estimated fuel economy of 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined, while the base engine is rated at 16/23/18. In performance testing, we’ve clocked a Touring model from zero to 60 mph in a good 8.7 seconds.

Safety

Standard safety features on the 2010 Honda Odyssey include anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, stability control, active front head restraints, front-seat side-impact airbags and full-length head curtain airbags with a rollover sensor.

For Touring models, Honda offers Michelin PAX System run-flat tires that can be driven for more than 100 miles when punctured.

The Odyssey earned a perfect five-star rating in government front- and side-impact crash tests. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety test results are equally impressive: Honda’s minivan earned a best-possible “Good” rating for both frontal-offset and side-impact collisions.

The Odyssey can seat seven or eight passengers, with the maximum number of chairs made possible by a center seat in the second row on EX, EX-L and Touring models.

This optional seat can be converted into a tray table or removed and stored in the Odyssey’s in-floor storage area. For added versatility, the second-row captain’s chairs can be brought together to form a two-passenger bench. Out back, there’s a fold-flat 60/40-split bench seat in the third row that seats three. With this seat stowed away, the Odyssey provides more than 91 cubic feet of cargo volume behind its second-row seats.Come visit Honda of Lisle to test drive the 2010 Honda Odyssey today!
