This vehicle isn't built for overall speed, taking 8.8 seconds to move from 0-60 MPH. It handles more like a car than a van thanks in large part to its isolated front and rear sub-frames. Steering uses a variable displacement system that aids to providing a smooth and quiet ride.

Speaking of bigger, 2014 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite is longer and wider this year. While wheelbase remains same, vehicle length has increased by an inch and its width by 2. You might expect even this relatively minor change to add to its bulkiness. However, new 2014 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite has a sleeker appearance thanks to engineers dropping roofline by about a half an inch.

Hood and front fenders are made of aluminum and grille is more prominent with twin bars. Chrome trimmed fog lights are a nice touch residing beneath darkly finished headlamp assemblies. Side mirrors come in two tones, rear view mirror has LED taillight bars, and Honda adds even fresh badging.
