Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com, the trusted automotive research Web site, has named the 2009 Odyssey as one of its 10 "Best New Family Vehicles of 2009." Some of the Odyssey’s family-friendly features include: seating for up to 8 passengers, available power sliding doors/tailgate, up to 15 beverage holders and an available Honda Rear DVD Entertainment System.

The 2010 Odyssey will continue to boast such safety features as standard front, front side and side curtain air bags with a rollover sensor.

Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com, the trusted automotive information resource, has also honored the 2009 Odyssey with its "Best Resale Value Award" in the Van category. This is the sixth consecutive time that the Odyssey has received this award, which honors vehicles that are expected to have the best resale value after five years of ownership.

The 2010 Odyssey has received 5-star frontal- and 5-star side-impact crash-test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Every Odyssey comes equipped with standard features such as Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, anti-lock braking (ABS) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)[2]. Plus, six airbags, including side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, help protect driver and passengers in sufficient impacts[1].

Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com has honored Honda with its 2009 Best Resale Value Award in the Brand category. This means that across its entire line of vehicles, Honda has the best projected resale value. Individual Honda models—the Odyssey, CR-V, Fit and the entire Civic family—also won this prestigious award in separate categories.

Projected resale value is specific to the 2009 model year. For more information, go to Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com. Kelley Blue Book is a registered trademark of Kelley Blue Book Co., Inc.

Honda has a long history of environmental leadership, including the introduction of America's first mass produced hybrid, the Honda Insight, and the first vehicle to meet California’s low-emission vehicle standards, well in advance of regulatory requirements. Acknowledgement of our commitment to innovation can be seen by Honda’s topping the rankings as the country’s greenest automaker by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)―for the fourth time in a row[3].
