Odyssey Awards, Accolades and Ratings


IntelliChoice[1] tries to determine the actual costs of ownership of new vehicles over a five-year period by exhaustively analyzing government and third-party data, and assigning a value rating to all vehicles. For its low ownership costs and overall value, the Odyssey has won the IntelliChoice Best Overall Value award for the "Best Van Over $26,000" category.

Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com, the trusted online automotive resource, has named the Odyssey as one of its "2010 Top Ten Family Cars."

The 2010 Odyssey has received 5-star frontal- and 5-star side-impact crash-test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Every Odyssey comes equipped with standard features such as Advanced Compatibility Engineering? (ACE?) body structure, anti-lock braking (ABS) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)[1]. Plus, six airbags, including side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, help protect driver and passengers in sufficient impacts[2].

[1] For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge. Do not rely solely on the monitor system. Please see your Honda dealer for details.

Recently, Polk recognized Honda for having the highest owner loyalty of any brand[1]. This means Honda had the highest percentage of households return to purchase another Honda-more than any other car brand.

For 2010, Edmunds.com named the Odyssey a "Top Recommended" vehicle for multiple reasons, including "its agile handling, conveniently flat-folding third-row seat and excellent crash test scores[1]." Edmunds.com observed the Odyssey to be "a great all-round performer that also manages to be fun to drive" that would be ideal for "shoppers who don't like the idea of giving up driving fun just because they're buying a minivan."

The Honda Odyssey has captured the "Best Residual Value Award for the Minivan Segment" from ALG. Always an important figure, the residual value should be top-of-mind for any car shopper. James Clark from ALG states, "We continue to believe that residual value is the best metric for evaluating the overall strength of an automotive brand." With its advanced safety features, multiple entertainment options and exceptional reliability, the Odyssey is the perfect vehicle for active families.






Honda has a long history of environmental leadership, including the introduction of America's first mass produced hybrid, the Honda Insight, and the first vehicle to meet California's low-emission vehicle standards, well in advance of regulatory requirements. Acknowledgement of our commitment to innovation can be seen by Honda's topping the rankings as the country's greenest automaker by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)-for the fourth time in a row[1].
