9/10/2023 0 Comments 2014 honda odyssey mpgI averaged a surprisingly good 11.5 L/100km (21 mpg) during my week with it, which leaned heavily toward commuting and city driving and included two quick freeway sprints. Fuel economy isn’t any minivan’s strong suit – the Odyssey is rated at 10.9 L/100 km (22 mpg) in the city and 7.1 L/100 km (33 mpg) on the highway. The Odyssey line gets a 6-speed automatic as standard equipment in all models now. Honda’s familiar 3.5-litre V6 lurks at the front, making 248 horsepower at 5700 RPM and 250 lb.ft of torque at 4800 RPM. Of note, the 2014 Odyssey is the first minivan to earn the highest possible rating of Top Safety Pick + from the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). So when I say it’s loaded, I’m not kidding. As a matter of fact, there are no factory options available on it – only some dealer-installed accessories for the interior and exterior. The 2014 Odyssey sees a refresh on the outside, and the Touring trim I reviewed absolutely bristles with gadgets, technology and luxury. The Honda Odyssey is one of the big players in the premium van segment – it’s biggest (and only significant) competitor being the Toyota Sienna. But some of the old, grizzled stalwarts haven’t given up, and they continue to be the perfect solution for what many families need – whether they want to admit it or not. The minivan market has continued to march forward, losing some of its decorated heroes to the crossovers.
