Families headed out from Murfreesboro, Clarksville or Franklin and looking to expand their traveling horizons for that long-planned and oft-neglected summer vacation can appreciate the April 25, 2017 Honda news out of Lincoln, AL. An upcoming fourth-generation 2018 Honda Odyssey will soon appear at Honda dealerships nationwide, and we at Crest Honda can't wait to show off its chops for the trip.
A new 280-horsepower i-VTEC® V6 engine is set to be available in upper trims, complete with a new 10-speed automatic transmission to provide a novel handling experience. But it's the 2018 Honda Odyssey interior amenities that show promise for making a memorable travel experience.
Among them, the peaceful atmosphere afforded by acoustic foam installed in 14 locations throughout the minivan, as well as flexible Magic Slide Seat™ second-row seating to accommodate passenger and cargo needs alike. CabinWatch™ and Cabin Talk™ features keep front and rear passengers connected using both an infrared camera and speakers that deliver second- and third-row visuals and audio to an expansive 8-inch high-resolution Display Audio touchscreen with a Honda proprietary operating system.
Keeping the gang amused on the go is a snap thanks to a rear entertainment system capable of streaming video to rear passengers on a ceiling-mounted, 10.2-inch WSVGA screen, and you can do so either with available new in-vehicle 4G LTE Wi-Fi, public Wi-Fi, or a compatible smartphone. Equip your phone with the downloadable CabinControl App, and you can even adjust rear cabin heat and air conditioning and program Honda embedded navigation with your intended destination. And app interoperability extends even further into your mobile lifestyle, both with a new "How Much Farther?" program, which allows review of trip progress, as well as with Social Play List, part of CabinControl, which enables music upload to the 2018 Odyssey audio system.
Keep an eye out for this new offering, coming off production lines this spring. Crest Honda, in the meantime, offers plenty of comparable 2017 Honda Odyssey minivan models to pique your interest. Stop by and see us here in Nashville, TN, and we'll show you a few!
