Earlier this week, Honda Malaysia launched the facelifted 2018 Honda Odyssey. The pre-facelift was launched here at KLIMS 2013 and the JDM MPV was refreshed in its home market in October last year. JDM because there’s a larger and completely different Honda Odyssey in North America.
We get the refreshed Odyssey as a CBU import from Japan, in sole 2.4L EXV from and priced at RM254,800 OTR without insurance. It’s unchanged under the hood, which means a familiar 2.4 litre DOHC i-VTEC engine serving up 175 PS at 6,200 rpm and 225 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Drive from the naturally aspirated engine is sent to the front axle via a CVT automatic.
Equipment-wise, the Odyssey comes with 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors, front dual-zone climate control, rear single-zone climate control, seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, powered front seats (eight-way driver and four-way passenger) reverse camera and power-sliding rear doors.
Safety kit includes six airbags (dual front, side and curtain), blind spot monitoring system, rear cross traffic alert, Smart Parking Assist, hill start assist, stability control, ABS, EBD and brake assist.
Perhaps the most significant add on is Honda Sensing, as seen on the Honda CR-V and Accord. The safety and driver assist suite includes Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM). Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
What are the styling changes compared to the pre-facelift? And the interior? Watch the video above as we point out each of the new design elements sported by the Odyssey facelift.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This is a super cheap car globally.
But here, it becomes RM255k. I really don’t know how it can jump to this amount.
Get KIA Carnival. RM100k saved!
Yah, you save RM100K, but dunno when the KX model will arrive. Been waiting since Nov 2017 and they still haven’t confirm the delivery date. Getting tired of waiting.
They now got the EX model, but it costs RM20K more. Still cheaper than the Honda though.
It cost about RM100k in Japan, however we have 100% tax & duty for CBU non-Asean car. So DRB Honda got their AP and profiting of RM50k for each Odyssey they sold in Malaysia.
Coming soon the Honda Sensing update for Honda Civic 1.5 Turbocharged Premium
260k. Vellfire is way nicer.
I see fat boy has put more kilos..in tandem with cummulative increase in fuel prices for the past 3 months…

Csl is complementing U. There is a saying in Chinese – If U put more kilos, it also mean U are prospering.
Innova is better…can buy 2 innovas some more
Very gud. Can throw one into river and burn the other.
A MPV that used to compared against serena and biante but price is rm100k more expensive. It can not be sold………
BTW, Hafriz, the overall interior quality is still poor compared to Mazda’s, Nissan’s and Toyota’s vehicles right? I mean its still not as tough or solid as the rest.Any comments my friend?
