Features
The available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System is so remarkable, its 4.6 GB DVD database contains information that can help lead you to gas stations, restaurants, airports, hotels and ATMs. It can also direct you to a specific business or residential addresses.
The 2003 Odyssey's advanced double wishbone rear suspension offers an ideal balance between ride comfort and handling.
TCS, Honda's advanced Traction Control System, is standard on the Odyssey EX. TCS enhances traction and stability on slippery surfaces by automatically limiting excessive wheelspin when accelerating.
Dual sliding doors are standard on the LX. On the EX, they're power-operated and can be opened or closed with a keyless remote.
When going up a steep grade, Grade Logic automatically downshifts and holds in a lower gear, so the Odyssey maintains a constant speed. When traveling down a steep grade and braking, Grade Logic automatically downshifts to help provide engine braking, giving you more control.
The Odyssey's 3.5 liter V-6 engine owes much of its smooth power delivery and broad torque curve to its 4-valve combustion chambers and VTEC (variable valve-timing and lift electronic control), Honda's advanced variable valve-timing system. Incoming fuel and air are mixed thoroughly as they swirl through a single opening, resulting in clean, complete combustion, enhanced efficiency and optimum torque output. As engine rpm rises, both intake valves open in order to satisfy the engine's increased demand for fuel and air.
