KBB.com Names Honda Odyssey “Gold Standard of Minivans”
May 10, 2011 by HondaExperience, under Uncategorized.
The awards for the 2011 Honda Odyssey just keep rolling in. Is it any wonder its been named the “gold standard of minivans” by the automotive experts at Kelley Blue Book’s website KBB.com?
The 2011 Odyssey just made KBB.com’s “Top 10 Family Cars of 2011” list – the only minivan to make the lineup. The award is just the latest for the family-friendly minivan, which just landed on Ward’s “10 Best Interiors” list, earned ALG’s “Best Residual Value” award, and won AUTOMOBILE Magazine’s “All-Star” award.
So what makes the 2011 Odyssey a Top 10 Family Car? Because it’s “designed to please the whole family.” According to the editors at KBB.com:
“As the gold standard of minivans, the Honda Odyssey easily makes our list of family haulers. Designed to please the whole family, including the driver, the 2011 Honda Odyssey offers surprisingly responsive handling while maintaining a comfortable highway ride. The kids will be more impressed by the extra-wide 16-inch rear video display that can function as two side-by-side monitors and show two movies at once.”
Among the wealth of criteria used to judge the Top 10 Family Cars of 2011, KBB.com looked carefully at the top characteristics that make vehicles family-friendly: safety, comfort, economy of operation, child-friendliness, a reasonable purchase price and a good resale value.
The Honda Odyssey certainly has all those characteristics. The 2011 Odyssey recently earned the highest possible safety rating of 5 overall stars by the National Highway Safety Administration, making it one of the safest vehicles on the road. The Odyssey Elite was also named one of the 10 Best Interiors by Ward’s for its incredibly comfy and roomy interior, extra storage, and kid-friendly rear DVD entertainment system with split-screen viewing capability. The Odyssey also earned ALG’s Best Residual Value award, which predicts which vehicles will retain the highest percentage of their MSRP after a conventional three-year period.
