10-Speed Automatic Transmission

What’s the Benefit?

Honda has equipped Odyssey models with a 10-speed automatic transmission in an effort to further improve dynamic performance, fuel efficiency³⁶ and quiet refinement.

The Feature:

Odyssey features the first 10-speed automatic transmission in a minivan.

• With its wide ratio span, this transmission offers strong acceleration while allowing a low engine speed on the highway, for quiet operation.
• Precise matching of ratios with the driving situation results in excellent fuel efficiency³⁶.
• The transmission’s control unit allows 4-gear downshifts for exhilarating acceleration during merging and passing.
• Paddle shifters enhance driver control, with double-gear downshifts in higher gears for improved response.
• When towing, the driver has greater control over engine braking on downhills with the paddle shifters as well.
