Q
How many passengers can Honda Odyssey accommodate?
Honda Odyssey typically accommodates seven people. It features a 2+2+3 seating layout. The first row consists of the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. The second row is equipped with two independent seats, which generally offer excellent comfort and adjustability. The third row has three seats. This layout makes it suitable for family and group travel. The seating design of the Odyssey thoroughly considers the comfort of passengers. Some models may be equipped with seats that offer electric adjustment functions for both the driver and passengers. Additionally, the third - row seats can usually be folded. This not only provides more cargo space when needed but also allows you to flexibly adjust the interior layout according to your requirements. Some versions may also come with other features that enhance the riding experience.
Q
How many seat belts does Honda Odyssey have?
There isn't detailed information about the specific number of seat belts of the Honda Odyssey. Generally, for a 7-seater vehicle like this, there is one seat belt for the driver and one for the front passenger in the front row. In the second row, there are usually three seat belts (one for each of the two independent seats and one for the middle position), and in the third row, there are typically two seat belts. So, there are approximately seven seat belts in the whole vehicle.
The Honda Odyssey emphasizes safety features. Besides seat belts, models like the 2022 and 2018 versions come standard with a series of safety systems, including six airbags, ABS anti-lock braking system, and vehicle stability control. These systems provide comprehensive safety protection for passengers and drivers. Seat belts are also a crucial part of the overall safety system. When the vehicle is in motion, using seat belts correctly can effectively reduce the risk of injury in an accident.
Q
What's the lifespan of Honda Odyssey's serpentine belt?
The lifespan of the Honda Odyssey's serpentine belt is not fixed, typically lasting around 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers, though actual durability varies depending on driving conditions and environment. Frequent use, harsh road conditions, or high-temperature environments may shorten the belt's service life, while infrequent driving under favorable conditions could extend it. Additionally, as a rubber component, the belt naturally deteriorates over time regardless of mileage. Generally, inspection or replacement should be considered after 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Regular belt inspections are recommended - if signs of wear, cracks, hardening, or slipping appear, prompt replacement is necessary to ensure proper engine operation and prevent potential issues.
Q
How much does it cost to replace the timing belt of Honda Odyssey?
The cost of replacing the timing belt of Honda Odyssey in Malaysia is approximately between RM1,500 and RM3,500. However, the specific price depends on the model year, engine type, and the pricing strategy of the repair shop. It is generally recommended to replace the timing belt assembly at 80,000 - 100,000 kilometers. The replacement package usually includes the timing belt, idler pulley, tensioner, and water pump, to avoid additional costs caused by multiple engine disassembly. The official Honda service center (Honda Malaysia) charges relatively higher (starting from about RM2,800), but it offers original parts and a warranty; while third - party authorized repair shops may only charge around RM1,800, but it's necessary to confirm that high - quality replacement parts are used (such as Japanese brands like Mitsuboshi or Bando). It's worth noting that some recent models of the Odyssey have switched to maintenance - free timing chains (for example, the 2.4L K24W engine). After purchasing the car, it's advisable to check the user manual to confirm the engine type. Additionally, if you notice abnormal engine noises or difficulty in cold - starting, it may be a sign of belt aging. You should get it checked as soon as possible to avoid higher repair costs due to damaged valve lifters.
Q
When to change Honda Odyssey's timing belt?
Generally speaking, most automobile manufacturers recommend replacing the timing belt of the Honda Odyssey every 60,000 - 80,000 kilometers or after 3 years of use. However, for some models, it is also recommended to inspect and replace the timing belt every 100,000 kilometers. For the specific replacement interval, you need to refer to the vehicle's user manual and the actual usage. Even if the vehicle has low mileage, but has been in use for 5 - 8 years, you should still check whether the timing belt has aged.
In daily use, if you hear strange noises like "squeaking" or "clattering" from the engine compartment while driving, or notice that the dashboard warning light is on, or observe cracks, hard - skin, or exposed wires on the belt surface, and feel that the surface is rough and furry when touching it with your hand, or can easily twist the belt by 90 degrees, all these situations indicate that the timing belt may need to be replaced.
Q
Is Honda Odyssey FWD or AWD?
The Honda Odyssey is FWD (Front Wheel Drive). Whether it's the 2022 model or the 2018 model of the Honda Odyssey, the drivetrain is clearly Front Wheel Drive. Front Wheel Drive transfers the engine's power to the front wheels of the vehicle, and the front wheels then push the vehicle forward. This drivetrain configuration has a relatively simple structure, lower costs, better engine cooling conditions, and it's easier to arrange the interior space of the vehicle. Also, the vehicle weight is relatively light, which leads to better fuel efficiency. For family MPV models, the advantages of Front Wheel Drive in terms of economy and practicality are obvious, and it can meet the needs of daily commuting, carrying passengers and cargo, etc.
Q
Is Honda Odyssey a family car?
The Honda Odyssey can be considered an ideal family vehicle. With seating for seven, it comfortably accommodates large families whether for daily school runs, shopping trips, or long-distance travel. The spacious interior provides ample headroom and legroom for all passengers, while the flexible rear seating system - including manually adjustable sliding/reclining second-row seats in the 2022 model and a 40:20:40 split-folding third row - allows versatile configurations for both passengers and cargo.
Safety features are comprehensive, with six airbags complemented by vehicle stability control, autonomous emergency braking, and other protective systems to safeguard family journeys. Comfort amenities like dual-zone automatic climate control and power-folding mirrors enhance the driving experience. With an official combined fuel consumption of 8.1L/100km, it delivers competitive fuel efficiency in its class, helping families reduce operating costs.
Q
Does Honda Odyssey have a 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder engine?
Honda Odyssey is equipped with an in-line 4-cylinder engine. As can be seen from the parameters, it has 4 cylinders, with a naturally aspirated (NA) intake form. The displacement is 2356 mL, and the maximum horsepower of the engine is 175 PS. The in-line 4-cylinder engine has a simple structure, low cost, good stability, and is easy to repair. It also performs well in fuel economy.
The V-type engine divides the cylinders into two banks, arranged in a V shape. The cylinder angle of a V4 engine is generally either 60 degrees or 90 degrees. Compared with the in-line 4-cylinder engine, the V4 has a more compact structure, but the manufacturing process is more complex and the cost is higher. The common cylinder angles of a V6 engine are 60 degrees and 90 degrees. Compared with the in-line 4-cylinder and V4 engines, the V6 runs more smoothly and has a smoother power output, but its structure is more complex and the cost is higher.
The Honda Odyssey uses an in-line 4-cylinder engine to meet the daily usage requirements while balancing multiple factors such as cost and fuel consumption.
Q
Does Honda Odysseys have a good fuel economy?
Yes, the fuel economy of Honda Odysseys is quite good. Take the 2022 Honda Odyssey 2.4 EXV as an example. The official combined fuel consumption is 8.1L per 100km, and that of the 2018 model is 8.2L per 100km, which is at a relatively reasonable level among models in the same class. This vehicle uses gasoline as fuel, adopts the naturally aspirated intake form, and is paired with a CVT gearbox, which helps to improve fuel economy. Moreover, the vehicle has a relatively large curb weight, offering high driving stability and preventing excessive fuel consumption due to frequent acceleration and deceleration.

Q
How much horsepower does a 2023 Challenger GT have?
The 2023 Dodge Challenger GT is powered by a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 303 hp and a peak torque of 358 Nm. It's paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and comes with rear-wheel drive or an optional all-wheel drive system. This model is a relatively niche but performance - stable American muscle car in the Malaysian market, suitable for car owners who love a unique style.
It's worth mentioning that although the Challenger GT is positioned lower than the higher - performance R/T or Hellcat versions, its V6 engine offers a more balanced performance in terms of fuel economy and daily driving comfort, while still retaining the classic American muscle car exterior design.

If you have higher performance requirements, you can also consider other high - performance versions of the Dodge Challenger series, but the price and maintenance costs will increase significantly.
Q
How fast is the 2023 Dodge Challenger GT?
The 2023 Dodge Challenger GT is a rear-wheel-drive/all-wheel-drive muscle car that combines performance and practicality. Its 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 naturally aspirated engine can produce 303 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 6 seconds, and its top speed is electronically limited to around 250 km/h.
This car is quite rare in the Malaysian market. However, its all-weather all-wheel-drive system (optional) is especially suitable for the local rainy climate. It's easier to handle on wet roads than the standard rear-wheel-drive version. It's worth noting that although the Challenger GT isn't as powerful as high-performance versions like the Hellcat, the V6 engine offers better fuel economy for daily use. It consumes about 12 - 13 liters per 100 km in the city and can drop to 8 - 9 liters on the highway.
The characteristics of Dodge muscle cars, such as the retro exterior design, wide-body (in some versions), and customization options (like 20-inch wheels/performance exhaust) are all retained, and the maintenance cost is relatively lower compared to the V8 versions. If you're considering importing it, you also need to pay attention to Malaysia's AP import permit and the up-to-105% displacement tax (for engines above 3.0L), which may make the on-road price significantly higher than that in the US market.
In the same class, you can refer to the Ford Mustang EcoBoost (2.3T) or the Toyota Supra 2.0T. However, the Challenger GT's all-wheel-drive system and its American muscle car DNA remain unique selling points.
