Honda Elysion I 2.4 i 16V (160 Hp)
Overall Rating
Honda Elysion:
The Honda Elysion is a seven- or eight-seat minivan initially sold only in Japan as a competitor to the Toyota Alphard and the Nissan Elgrand. The Honda LaGreat, marketed in the US as the Honda Odyssey, featured popular styling but was impractical in Japan due to its relatively large size. Subsequently, the Elysion was designed with styling cues from the LaGreat, but was made smaller to be competitive in the Japanese market.
The Elysion was introduced to the Chinese market in June 2012. Japanese production of the Elysion ceased in October 2013, but it continues to be manufactured and sold in China....(Read more on Wikipedia)
I Overview:
Honda Elysion (I). With 218 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. At around 2020 kg, it’s on the heavier side. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. With seating for 8, it’s perfect for larger families.
The Honda Elysion I was primarily a Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) vehicle and was not tested by Euro NCAP. Its safety performance would align with contemporary Japanese safety standards.
