Although the new Honda Odyssey was launched just a week ago Mugen hurried and revealed its customization kit for the new Japanese minivan. The kit from the tuning company is available in two versions, one for Odyssey Absolute and one for the standard Odyssey.
The difference between the two kits is that the standard Honda Odyssey kit consists in a new front bumper without the fog lights, new front grille and a new rear lip spoiler, the other parts remaining the same. The Honda Odyssey Absolute features a re-designed front bumper, front camera cover, new HID fog lights, a new front grille, side sills, a re-designed rear bumper with new exhaust cutters, a rear roof spoiler and new brake pads micro mesh brake line.
The interior got also customized and includes new sport mats, door sign lights, rear mirror covers and new aluminium sport pedals. In order to add a plus of sportivity the Japanese tuning house also added a new set of R an XJ aluminium wheels available in 17 and 18 inch and 4 colors.
Even if just launched on the Japanese market, Mugen already put their hands on the new 2009 Odissey and made it look a bit more attractive.
Two kits are available, one for the Absolute Odyssey and the other for the standard version (M, L, Li). These kits include an Aero front bumper and side and rear spoilers. Also included are an exhaust, brake pads, aluminum wheels, and interior sports mats.
Expect a selling price of 2000€ for both versions of this high-end package.
Honda sells a different version of the Odyssey in Japan than it does in the U.S. Although Honda calls it a minivan and it seats the same as the U.S. Odyssey, this car shares more in common with the first generation Odyssey that Honda sold in the U.S. from 1995 to 1998. The Japan Odyssey is shorter in all dimensions, it has four hinged passenger doors, and looks more like a wagon than a minivan.
On sale today, the new Odyssey is equipped with a 2.4l DOHC i-VTEC engine and torque converter-equipped CVT transmission. It is also equipped with advanced safety technologies, including the new Multi-view Camera System. A special mobility-assistive version equipped with a lift-up front passenger seat will go on sale in November.
