The Odyssey is available with the Honda Sensing® suite, which includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)³. CMBS gently brakes and can even stop the vehicle when it senses an object in front of the vehicle. The Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)⁴ can detect lane departure and will gently steer the vehicle to keep Odyssey in the traffic lane and safely on the road.

But if an accident does occur, Odyssey keeps you and your passengers safe inside a protected enclosure. Odyssey has an Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, with a high strength steel safety ring around the passenger compartment. This is designed to keep the passenger compartment safe by redirecting frontal collision impact energy away from the passengers. And along with the normal complement of front, front side and side curtain airbags, every Odyssey features knee airbags for both the driver and front passenger. Even during thorough crash tests, these features improved crash ratings and will help minimize injuries even in the worst of accidents⁵.

So if you’re looking for the ultimate family minivan, the Odyssey has the features, technology and safety that you want for you and your family. And every Odyssey is proudly made in the United States, in nearby Lincoln, Alabama.
