Basics About the 2023 Honda Odyssey Power and Performance With its naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V-6 engine producing 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, the Odyssey offers best-in-class performance. It's packed with advanced technology, such as active noise cancellation, traction management, and Honda's Eco Assist fuel-saving system. The shift-by-wire 10-speed automatic transmission that the engine pairs with smoothly delivers power and helps achieve an EPA rating of 28 mpg highway. The Odyssey is undoubtedly one of the most agile minivans on the market due to Honda's fine tuning of its MacPherson strut front suspension and compact multi-link rear suspension. Its direct, well-balanced steering makes it easy to maneuver around tight city streets. more Passenger Cabin Whether you need to haul your family or cargo, the Odyssey excels at the job by offering spacious seating for eight occupants and impressive configurability.

The 2024 Honda Pilot has already caught the attention of drivers wishing for roomy cabins and comfort for long road trips. People know the Pilot for its powerful engine, smooth ride, and excess storage space, but the plethora of stellar safety features this SUV comes equipped with is still a mystery to some. At our Bowie, MD dealership, we're excited to offer this Honda powerhouse to drivers like you. Safety Features of the 2024 Honda Pilot Braking and Stability The larger the vehicle, the more braking power is required to keep you and all your passengers safe. That's why this three-row SUV has standard ABS, an electronic brake distribution program, and Brake Assist. The Pilot also has the Vehicle Stability Assist™ system with implemented traction control. more The Stability Assist can keep the SUV balanced and controlled during acceleration, deceleration, and turning via onboard sensors that watch for the risk of traction loss. This Assist can tone down the throttle and brake each wheel independently to get you back on track. Honda Sensing® Honda implemented several warning systems to help ensure that you make sound decisions and maneuvers only when it's safe to do so. The Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist System, Forward Collision Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking System, and Road Departure Mitigation System all work together to keep you centered in your lane a safe distance away from the traffic ahead of you. These programs can make subtle adjustments to steering on your behalf. The included Adaptive Cruise Control has an additional Low-Speed Follow program that allows the SUV to slow itself to a complete stop without driver input. When setting the cruise control, you'll also be prompted to choose between a short, middle, long, or extra-long following distance interval, and the Pilot will take over the throttle and braking to help maintain this distance. Traffic Sign Recognition A camera located on the Pilot's front end can sense and read road signs, such as speed limit signs. The system will display these signs on your instrument cluster. This is a great way to help ensure you don't miss any road signs and you maintain the correct speed.
