What's new for 2009
New to Honda's minivan in 2009 will be the addition of a power tailgate and Bluetooth HandsFreeLink to the EX-L trim. The Bluetooth HandsFreeLink is added to the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System. Both features were previously exclusive to the Odyssey Touring.
A significant refresh to its 2008 model year has kept the Odyssey up-to-date for 2009. Variable Cylinder Management technology on the EX-L and Touring models' 3.5L i-VTEC V-6 engine enable either two or three of the engine's six cylinders to deactivate during cruising and deceleration.
