Safety A Priority In Honda Odyssey

by Honda on February 3, 2012

The Honda Odyssey brings more style and safety to the people-mover category.

 

Drive’s Car of the Year ‘Best People Mover’ three years running, the Odyssey is also good for the family budget, with Honda’s unique Ecological Drive Assist Program delivering excellent fuel economy.

 

The Odyssey’s touch-screen satellite navigation system and live traffic updates take care of the route while steering wheel mounted audio controls, integrated Bluetooth and cruise control make it easy to focus on the road ahead with both hands on the wheel.

 

Honda Australia Spokesperson, Mr. Lindsay Smalley, said the Odyssey makes safety a priority and offers the fun-to-drive experience you’d expect from a Honda.

 

“The Odyssey includes advanced safety features, from Honda’s responsive braking system to a rear reversing camera for maximum visibility, while the powerful i-VTEC engine and great handling ensure a joyful driving experience every time.”

 

The Odyssey doesn’t compromise on safety for any passenger. All seven seats are fitted with three-point (lap/sash) seatbelts, while front, side and curtain airbags protect passengers in every row of seating.

 

Honda’s unique G-Con technology is an advanced shielding system built into the Odyssey’s design offering protection in a collision. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure is designed to disperse the force of impact, reducing the risk of injury to passengers. Motion Adaptive Electric Power Steering and Vehicle Stability Assist work together to ensure a safer and smoother drive.

 

Honda is the world’s biggest engine manufacturer, a leader in automotive research and development and consistently rated a top performer in customer satisfaction. There are more than 400,000 Hondas on the road in Australia and millions of happy customers worldwide.
