How do you improve upon one of the most acclaimed vehicles in America? You give it something not available anywhere else. Introduced at the New York International Auto Show, the 2014 Odyssey features a sleeker look, a full suite of hi-tech offerings, and the only in-car vacuum. That's right, the new Odyssey will offer an all-new vacuum—HondaVAC™—on the Touring Elite trim.

The new Odyssey Touring Elite will also include:

Updated Styling
  • New grille, hood and fog lights
  • Revamped headlights, and refreshed taillights with LED light bars
  • New side mirrors, including an Expanded View Driver’s Mirror
  • New wheel designs
Contemporary Convenience
  • High-Definition (HD) Radio®
  • 7" audio touch-screen
  • HondaLink™, a new cloud-based system that provides access to different media programs, including Pandora®[1] and SMS text message function[2]
  • Programmable Remote Entry System with Smart Entry and Push Button Start
Progressive Technology
  • Forward Collision Warning (FCW)[3]
  • Lane Departure Warning (LDW)[4]
The Odyssey has long set the standard for what a van should be. With innovations like HondaVAC™, the 2014 Odyssey will raise the bar even higher when it goes on sale this summer.

It's not quite a minivan fit for a technophile, despite the standard lineup of 2014 in-vehicle gadgets, such as HondaLink with a smartphone interface, HD Radio and an updated center stack. But Honda's 2014 Odyssey does ship with one very practical addition: a built-in HondaVAC, designed with assistance from the good folks at Shop-Vac. The integrated vacuum cleaner lets you tidy up around the van and outside as well, and with integrated power, it doesn't need to be plugged in for use. It can suck indefinitely when the engine's running, or for up to eight minutes with the car turned off. It's integrated within the rear cargo area, and includes a replaceable filter and a canister bag, for easy rubbish disposal. The Odyssey just made its debut at the New York Auto Show, and pricing and availability have yet to be announced. You can check it out for yourself this week in NYC, however, or take a closer look in the promo video embedded just past the break.


 
  • New side mirrors, including an Expanded View Driver’s Mirror. Are they talking about the rear view mirror? Like a broadway mirror?

I'm guessing they're referring to the 2nd mirror that can be lowered from the ceiling. It's the thing sticking down on the left. It's like a curved mirror to view the inside of your car & I believe it has a little storage area inside of it as well.
 
My Chevy Venture mini van had an air pump in the back. It was okay to pump up the kids basketballs but never used it for my tires....it just wasn't strong enough to pump them up quickly with enough pressure. Wasn't useful to pump up air mattresses either when camping. Really gimmicky and not well made so not practical at all. IF the vacuum is strong enough that would be a great addition.
 
It should be. It's a Honda appliance. Lol.
