Honda Odyssey: A Winner for Parents
Why the Honda Odyssey is Still Perfect for Parents
When you’re the parent of an athlete, that means plenty of early morning practices, after-school carpools, and weekend tournaments – you’re always on the go. You need a vehicle that gets you everywhere you need to be, all while acting as a second home on wheels. The Honda Odyssey offers all of that and more. Visit us at Morehead Honda in Newburgh, NY, to see for yourself how this minivan continues to be parents’ first choice for families with packed schedules and active kids.
Room for Kids, Gear, and Even More Gear
Parents with children in clubs, sports, and other extracurricular activities know that “packing light” doesn’t exist. Between cleats, shin guards, folding chairs, snacks, instruments, and sports bags, you need a vehicle that can keep up. The Odyssey delivers with:
- Magic Slide® second-row seats that make it easy to fit kids and gear – even when car seats are in place.
- Up to 158 cubic feet of cargo room with seats folded flat, giving you space for strollers, coolers, and that extra bag of soccer balls the coach forgot.
- Hands-free power tailgate and low load floor so you don’t have to wrestle with heavy equipment.
Whether it’s one kid or an entire carpool crew, there’s always room for one more player – and their gear.
A Calm Cabin for Chaotic Days
The Odyssey is engineered with parents in mind. When your day is filled with drop-offs, pick-ups, and errands, the cabin needs to be a place where everyone can relax. Features parents love include:
- CabinWatch®: a built-in camera to keep an eye on the back rows without turning around.
- CabinTalk®: an intercom system that lets you talk to rear passengers through their headphones or speakers (perfect for reminding kids to settle down before game time).
- Tri-Zone Climate Control: keeps everyone happy – no more back-seat battles over temperature.
- Available Rear Entertainment System: stream movies or connect a game console to keep siblings entertained between matches.
It’s not just about comfort for the kids. A quieter, calmer ride means less stress forparent behind the wheel.
Safety that Puts Parents at Ease
When your most precious cargo is onboard, safety isn’t optional – it’s essential. Every Odyssey comes standard with Honda Sensing®, which includes:
- Adaptive Cruise Control for highway trips to tournaments.
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™ to help stop quickly when traffic suddenly slows.
- Lane Keeping Assist System to reduce fatigue during long drives.
- Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor to help when backing out of crowded parking lots after the game.
Parents juggle enough distractions. The Odyssey’s safety suite is like an extra set of eyes and hands on the road.
Everyday Convenience for Busy Parents
Between balancing schedules and carrying snacks for the whole team,parents need features that cut down on hassle. The Odyssey makes life easier with:
- Hands-Free Power Liftgate: open the trunk even when both arms are full.
- Sliding Doors with Remote Access: kids can hop in quickly, even in tight school parking lots.
- Plenty of Cup Holders and Storage Bins: because no one travels without water bottles, juice boxes, and coffee.
It’s the little touches that free parents to focus on the big stuff.
A Drive That Feels Less Like a Minivan
Many parents worry that choosing a minivan means giving up the enjoyment of driving. The Odyssey proves otherwise. With its 280-horsepower V6 engine and smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, it has plenty of pep for merging onto highways or passing slower traffic. The ride is stable, quiet, and car-like – so you don’t feel like you’re hauling a bus to the next tournament.
