2011 Odyssey Near Chicago

The minivan remains the quintessential form of transportation for families big and small. No other vehicle offers the type of versatility and space for kids and the copious amount of stuff that invariably comes along with them. The 2011 Honda Odyssey near Chicago is a completely redesigned entry among this dwindling number of minivans, replacing a model that was widely considered to be the best in its class for a decade.

The 2011 Honda Odyssey at Honda of Lisle has gained an inch-plus in width, creating a slightly sleeker appearance aided by a wedge-shaped front fascia and unique “lightning-bolt” character line. Aside from being a design flourish, this character line also improves visibility for passengers in the third row of seats, who will also enjoy a greater amount of knee and shoulder room. Honda says three adults can sit back there, but we’re thinking the middle spot’s fold-down armrest will be utilized more frequently.

The Odyssey introduces a small refrigerated storage compartment beneath the center stack controls, a trash bag holder, second-row seats that shift laterally to make room for child seats and a wide-screen entertainment system with an HDMI input. The new Odyssey also improves upon previously introduced features, like a simplified process for lowering the third-row seat and an enlarged second-row removable middle seat.

Honda’s cylinder deactivation system is now standard on every Odyssey and fuel economy is estimated to be 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway.

More details about the 2011 Honda Odyssey will be coming soon, including available trims and equipment, as well as exact dimensions and specifications. Find the 2011 Honda Odyssey at our Honda dealer serving Chicago.
