Next, the exterior styling of the car is sleeker, more sophisticated and features more deeply sculpted aluminum hood, new aluminum front fenders, a new bolder twin-bar grille, and a revised lower front fascia with integrated chrome-trimmed fog lights. New two-tone mirror housings, darker-finish projector-beam headlight housings, LED taillight bars and new badging add to the vehicle's new look.
The interior of the 2014 Odyssey includes new finishes that enliven the cabin and an all-new center stack showcases a host of new features. Moreover, here are also included more standard technology features in comparison to the old version of the car.
Odyssey Touring Elite promises to bring new levels of ease and connectivity with the keyless Smart Entry with Push Button Start, HD Radio®, an SMS text messaging function, and HondaLink™ featuring Aha™ Mobile interface.
