One thing that makes the Odyssey such an appealing choice is the diverse range of trims and configurations for you to pick from. This allows you to balance your needs and your budget to find a Honda Odyssey configuration that is just right for you. Here's what you need to know to differentiate your different Honda Odyssey trim choices and the appeal of each: Honda Odyssey LX: The LX trim is the basic configuration of the Honda Odyssey, but it comes with many fantastic features, both standard and optional, so there is still plenty to love. The multi-angle rearview camera and Honda Sensing safety features provide you with added security behind the wheel, while power front seats allow you to easily adjust your seating to be just right every time you get in your Honda Odyssey. Honda Odyssey EX: The EX trim is the next option in the Honda Odyssey line and comes with several safety upgrades to enhance the already excellent safety features of the LX. Most notably, blind-spot monitoring is standard on the Odyssey EX, helping you remain aware of other vehicles on the highway to avoid potentially dangerous situations. The EX also includes smart entry unlock and walk-away locking to provide you with added security and the Magic Slide system on the second-row seats to make it easy to get in and out of the passenger rows. Honda Odyssey EX-L: The EX-L trim expands on the convenience of the Odyssey EX, with features like the power tailgate that allows you to open and close your tailgate with a push of the button, making it easier to load and unload. Standard leather trim for the seating and an optional leather-wrapped wheel add a touch of class to the EX-L, while a power moonroof allows you to enjoy the beautiful sights and fresh air when you drive. Honda Odyssey Touring: As the name implies, the Touring trim is an outstanding option for any Odyssey you intend to take on long drives with passengers. The rear entertainment system includes a 10.2-inch screen capable of playing Blu-ray, DVDs, and CDs, as well as media connected to it through a USB or HDMI cable. It also makes it easier to monitor and communicate with children in the rear rows using the Cabin Watch and Cabin Talk features, while the Wi-Fi hot spot allows riders to browse without the need to use their data plan. Honda Odyssey Elite: The premium configuration, the Honda Odyssey Elite builds off of the amenities of the other trims while adding in unique features like the hands-free tailgate, which allows you to open and close your tailgate by passing your foot under a sensor, making it the ideal option for loading up the back. A premium 11-speaker sound system with a subwoofer takes entertainment to a new level, while rain sensing wipers and power-folding auto-dimming side mirrors make your Odyssey safer and easier to use. Key Features of the Honda Odyssey No matter which option you choose for your Honda Odyssey configuration, there is a lot to love about what the Odyssey can do for you. Some of the fantastic options available when you buy a new or used Honda Odyssey in Grand Forks include: Expansive seating: Every trim of the 2022 Honda Odyssey comes with seating for the whole family and more. Choose the bench seating for your middle row to furnish your vehicle with seating for up to eight, or choose the added comfort of captain's seating for your middle row, while still accommodating seven. Competitive fuel economy: When you're driving your family all over in your Honda Odyssey, you want to be sure that you're getting good gas mileage to help you save, and that is another area the Odyssey excels. With 19 miles per gallon of city driving and 28 miles per gallon on the highway, the Honda Odyssey outperforms many of its nearest rivals. Cargo capacity: Loading up your minivan is often about more than just filling up the seats, but filling up the cargo hold as well. As you load up school bags, hockey gear, and more, you'll be amazed how much you can fit in the back of your Honda Odyssey. Premium safety: Keeping yourself and your passengers safe is a top priority every time you get behind the wheel of your minivan, which is why the Honda Odyssey is designed with your safety in mind, including earning an IIHS Top Safety Pick rating.

The Honda Real Time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System uses innovative technology to enhance your Honda's traction, control, and performance. When the system detects a change in road conditions, it redirects torque to the rear axle to regain traction. Keeping you safe on changing road conditions, the Honda Real-Time AWD engages your car's rear differential when it senses a loss of traction virtually instantaneously. This takes a front-wheel-drive vehicle and diverts torque to the rear wheels, giving you increased traction and stability. Do you enjoy getting a bit of mud on your tires, exploring the road less traveled, or adding a bit of adventure to your road trip? Do you prioritize safety when looking for a new vehicle? Then the Honda Real Time AWD System was made for you! more What is All-Wheel Drive? If you've never had an All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) vehicle, then most likely, you're used to front-wheel-drive cars. This means the power and stability are confined to your front two wheels, limiting how your vehicle handles in variable road and weather conditions. In front-wheel-drive vehicles, the engine's power is restricted to the front of the car. If your daily commute is sunshine and smooth roads, chances are you haven't considered the importance of AWD. However, even the most excellent drives can change suddenly. Changing road conditions and rainy or snowy weather can turn your predictable commute into a more scary experience. AWD engages your rear tires to provide traction, stability, and security. Especially in areas like Grand Forks, where weather patterns can change, and winter can make roads slick, AWD is essential. While some AWD systems require a great deal of input from the driver, the Honda Real Time AWD System is intelligent, reactive, and uses computer software to read the roads for you. How Does the Honda Real Time AWD System Work? The Honda Real Time AWD System employs an innovative Intelligent Control System to judge when differential should be engaged on the rear tires to prevent loss of traction. Intending to reduce energy and fuel consumption, this smart system only engages when needed, typically when there's a change in road conditions or inclement weather. By engaging the rear tires, the AWD system spreads the engine's power equally on all four tires so that the rear tires can push you forward even if the front tires slip. To keep you safe, here are a few times that the Honda Real Time AWD System will be engaged. The AWD System will engage on take-off if you're on a slippery surface where traction is reduced. It disengages once the car reaches a cruising velocity, as it's no longer required. If you go uphill and the vehicle registers change in traction, it will engage the Real-Time AWD again. It's important to note that this system reacts almost instantaneously, and you may not even feel the change! Traditional AWD systems often experience a lag, and even a noticeable shift, before fully engaging. The Honda Real Time AWD System is a tremendous advancement in technology, which makes your journey smoother and safer. Is Honda Real Time AWD the Right Choice for Me? Honda Real-Time AWD turns your normally front-wheel-drive Honda into an all-wheel-drive vehicle, but only when it's needed. This means your car will run as a standard front-wheel-drive vehicle otherwise and provides you with that extra level of safety, security, and reliability that Honda is known for. So, who should consider the Honda Real Time AWD System? Living in Grand Forks, where weather patterns change regularly, such as rain, sleet, or snow, the Real-Time AWD System is essential. This is especially true as we approach winter and all the weather that comes with it. A lot of areas have rough road conditions during inclement weather, and it's essential to keep you and your family safe on the road. If you enjoy taking side roads, getting off the highway, and exploring, this is also an essential system for you. Even if you drive the same road every day, commuting to and from work, having an AWD System could be a lifesaver (literally!). Real-Time AWD gives you confidence when driving your vehicle, especially in winter conditions. Weather and road quality changes can happen quickly, so we highly recommend the Honda Real Time AWD System for anyone! Which Honda Models Can Be Equipped with Honda Real Time AWD?

At Rydell Honda of Grand Forks, we love the CR-V. It's just what so many of our buyers need: the right balance of comfort, utility, value, and fun. Since its debut in 1997, the Honda CR-V has only grown in quality and popularity. The compact SUV is now one of the most popular vehicle styles in the world. Honda has taken everything it knows about making desirable, reliable cars and made the perfect compact family ride. Through five generations, the CR-V has continued to evolve, adding technology and innovation at every redesign. Wondering what the future holds for this vehicle? Exciting things are rumored for 2022 and 2023. Honda engineers are working to make the best even better. A brand new CR-V model is on the horizon. We don't know a lot yet, but we can speculate on what changes might be in the works. What's good that we'd never change? What improvements would you want? What is your wild side saying? more Looking Back Image via Flickr by Janitors via CC BY 2.0 Sometimes the best way to predict the future is to look to the past CR-V specs and figures. What can we learn about previous model releases that might give us hints? The fifth generation brought a suite of modern safety features to the CR-V. We'll likely see an advanced version of the Honda Sensing system available on the new Accord. It features smarter-than-ever collision mitigation, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and even traffic sign recognition. The next CR-V will be a safer place than ever for your family. In 2015, we saw the continuously variable transmission (CVT) come to the CR-V. The system was borrowed from the ninth-generation Accord. While CVTs in general have been frowned upon by many auto enthusiasts, many critics consider Honda's to be the best around. A well-built CVT delivers seamless power from stop to freeway. It never shifts; it's always in the power band. Will the 2022-23 CR-V see another transmission innovation? The third-generation CR-V, launched in 2006, was the first to see USB ports and Bluetooth. We can expect that plus Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in the upcoming model, but how can the sixth generation do something special with infotainment? Maybe it can expand on some of the family features from the Odyssey? Wireless charging, at least in the front, seems like a guarantee. Spy Shots What's more exciting than a prototype with the badges covered by camouflage? Test drivers try to be sneaky, but automotive spies are always on the lookout. So what have sneak peaks of the new CR-V revealed? Early reports show the new version is larger than before. It's longer overall with a stretched hood and rear overhang, looking a bit lower and sleeker to the eye. The extra space may accommodate an optional third row. It certainly will allow more passenger and cargo space. The trapezoidal grille is more prominent on the newest model. The rear lights are now horizontal rather than vertical, creating a less boxy look. Considering the Accord and Civic were recently redesigned, the new CR-V will likely borrow much from both. It will likely share a platform with the Honda Civic, which is excellent. No doubt the CR-V will be springier as a result. Spy shots also show lots of Accord styling on the front end and the dash. The infotainment screen shares a similar design, so Honda will probably keep it for the SUV, too. Possible Engines for the 2022 CR-V AS it turns out, 2020 may have already told us what we need to know about what will be under the hood of the next generation CR-V. Last year Honda dropped its 2.4-liter engine in favor of a 1.5-liter turbo-charged inline four-cylinder engine that delivers 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. Not missing the extra displacement, critics were impressed by the power, lack of lag, and fuel efficiency. That same year, Honda debuted a hybrid CR-V that combines an electric motor with a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle turbo four-cylinder to provide 212 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque combined. It's very likely that both the 1.5-liter and the hybrid will continue into 2022. We'd love to see the next generation CR-V get the Civic Type R treatment. Think about wringing 306 horsepower out of a 2.0-liter engine? Imagine lowering the CR-V a bit and borrowing the Type R's four-wheel independent suspension. Why not blow open the CR-V's practical reputation? Life is too short to not have a CR-V Type R. What Do the People Want? Whatever the year or car, many people have the same desires. They want power without sacrificing fuel economy. The 1.5-liter and hybrid are both good choices already, but they can be improved. A larger battery and electric motor on the hybrid would take more pressure off the gas side, further improving fuel efficiency. Yet people always want to be able to zoom, providing a desire for Honda's racing blood in every vehicle. The CR-V has always been the conservative kid. Maybe it's time for a fun version. Many families want three rows, and Honda seems ready to deliver. It launched a three-row version at the Geneva Auto Show in 2018. On a new stretched frame, seating six to seven in a CR-V would be easy, and it would be a great seller. A panoramic moon roof would be a lovely option, and a more robust climate control system is likely in the works.
