Japanese manufacturer Honda has applied its fuel saving technology to its minivan range as indicated by the unveiling of the 2011 Odyssey.
The Honda Odyssey minivan has a lower roofline compared to the current model – down 1.6inches compared to the 2010 version – and also has a wider track – around 1.4inches wider. This helps contribute to a sleeker, stronger and more dynamic presence with the aerodynamics vastly improved to help increase fuel economy.

So how does this vehicle stack up? It is rated at 19mpg city and 28mpg highway – the preliminary EPA mileage estimates have been determined by Honda.
Further details will be revealed closer to the on-sale date, but we do know that the 2011 model will include a 3.5litre i-VTEC V-6 engine with three-mode variable cylinder management that is sure to cement its position as the best-selling minivan in the US.
