Special edition ideal for family transport
Long recognized for its innovation in packaging, responsive handling attributes, comfortable occupant accommodation, state-of-the-art safety features, long lasting residual value, high build quality and refinement, the Odyssey represents what Honda is referring to as its vision of the “ultimate in family transportation.”
The 2016 Honda Odyssey SE (Special Edition) minivan represents an outstanding value.
The new Honda Odyssey now comes in eight levels of trim: the base model LX; the EX; an EX-L; the Touring; and the top-of-the-line Touring Elite.
The new high value SE Special Edition Odyssey falls in between the EX and EX-L trim levels, and provides such premium features as SIRIUSXM Radio and HondaVAC and a 115V power outlet incorporated into the rear entertainment system.
The power source for all Odysseys comes from a 3.5-liter SOHC 24-valve i-VTEC V6 engine with Variable Cylinder Management and electronic multi-point fuel injection.
Power is now delivered to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission on all models, with the shifter mounted in the upper console.
For the 2016 model year, the Odyssey offers more technology than ever before, with a rearview camera, 8-inch, full-color i-MID display and Bluetooth HandsFreeLink as standard on the entry-level LX model.
The Honda Odyssey SE serves up an impressive menu of desirable qualities, not the least of which is the ideal height for ease of ingress and egress.
Seating is easily reconfigurable, stowing and repositioning without a hassle, and providing maximum versatility to deal with a variety of passenger/cargo needs, and the addition of the rear entertainment system and HondaVAC add to the value.
In terms of performance, the Odyssey SE delivers satisfying acceleration, smooth shifting, a comfortable ride quality and sedan-like handling characteristics with Variable Assist rack-and-pinion steering, delivering virtually more than enough amenities necessary for a rewarding cross-country sojourn.
Features such as the multi-view rear camera; USB interface, Bluetooth connectivity; SIRIUS/XM satellite radio; dual power sliding side doors; heated power door mirrors with turn indicators; and remote entry with security system, make for ideal family transportation.
