Honda has taken the wraps off the 2016 Odyssey Special Edition. It’s positioned above the EX but below EX-L and comes with extra standard kit such as the SiriusXM satellite radio, an 115V power outlet and a rear-seat entertainment system. Also part of the package is the HondaVAC vacuum cleaner built into the rear cargo area and according to Honda it provides a level of performance considerably higher compared to a conventional handheld rechargeable vacuum. The model goes on sale today and can be had at a starting price of $33,375.
Power of the 2016 Odyssey Special Edition is provided by a V6 3.5-liter gasoline engine producing 248 bhp (185 kW) and a maximum torque of 338 Nm (250 lb-ft). Output is channeled to the wheels with help from a 6-speed automatic gearbox which allows the minivan to return 19 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg in the combined cycle.
