Honda Odessey J review

[Jeffdadofzion]

Any feedback on 2015 Odessey J engine capacity? To think that its a 7- 8 seater minivan...

The quoted figures of of 173 BHP and 225 nM from a 2.4 litre engine seem to suggest it comes from the factory tuned for economy but I would expect it could be safely remapped to produce 220 BHP. Although 173 BHP in a 1600 KG car leaves you with a power to weight ratio of 108 BHP per tonne which is more than adequate in a family car. The sort of people who buy these MPVs tend not to buy them to do track days.

If we loaded this car with additional 400 kg of passangers and travelling to Fujairah (hilly ones), engine's power will still be fine, you think so?

Hi Technician, good to see someone talking on power to weight ratio as most of them talk on engine size or horsepower only.

Jeff: Yes you should be good with that power to weight for on-road climb on the mountains, but not loose gravel track or unpaved mountain climbs.

Great stuff. Thanks Nutbolt. Good to have people like you guys that could advise anybody that like to venture on new vehicles.
