The Honda Elysion (Japanese: ja: ??????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????? in Japan as a competitor of Toyota Alphard and Nissan Elgrand.This is related to Honda Odyssey specification of United States but not the same vehicle One of the main difference from previous generation JDM Honda Odyssey is that back door is exchanged with sliding door which usually used on minivans, while the JDM Odyssey uses conventional doors.The Honda Odyssey, known in Japan as the Honda LaGreat, is too big for Japan, so Elysion takes a lot of style cues from LaGreat and uses it on smaller vehicles.
In June 2012, Elysion was introduced to the Chinese market. Elysion production was discontinued in October 2013 in Japan, but continues to be assembled and sold in China.
Honda was inspired to name the vehicle "Elysion" from the classic Greek word Elysium, or heaven.

The Elysion appeared at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2003 as "ASM", and was released for sale on May 13, 2004. A light body restyle was introduced September 29, 2005, introducing the "Aero" and "VG Premium" trim levels. January 13, 2006 saw the introduction of the "G Aero HDD Navi" and "VG HDD Navi Aero" editions. Other styling changes introduced December 21, 2006, including interior updates.
Elysion is offered both with 2.4 L DOHC direct injection K24A with i-VTEC producing 160 PS (117.7 kW; 157.8 bhp) or 3.0 L SOHC J30A V6 i-VTEC producing 250 PS (183.9 kW; 246.6 bhp). ). V6 is also available with "VCM" or Variable Cylinder Management. The top "Prestige" trim models are available with the J35A V6 used in the Honda Legend, producing 300 PS (220.6 kW; 295.9 bhp) and available with AWD. However, vehicles equipped with AWD have reduced engine power to 279 PS (205.2 kW; 275.2 bhp). For two-wheel drive vehicles, this is more powerful than that available at Toyota Estima, which is cited to 280 PS (205.9 kW; 276.2 bhp).
The concept
The MPV was first seen as a concept car called Honda ASM at the Tokyo Motor Show in late 2003 and finally made into production half a year later with some cosmetic adjustments for headlamps, front grille and interior to make it more commercially friendly. Officially launched in mid-2004 for the Japanese domestic market.
Design
At 4840 mm, the length is identical as the second generation Odyssey RA6 3.0L or about 1 cm longer than the current Camry. The width of 1830mm is about 3 cm wider than RA6 or about 2 cm wider than the Camry. The difference is in smart space management, making 70% of the total space available as a cabin plus a height of 1790mm, which is an additional 18 cm from RA6 or about 24 cm higher than the current wanderings.
Security
The combination of new high-strength stiffness is 30% stronger, Honda G-Con technology and unique double platform with low central gravity floor, first seen in the Merc A-class, make Elysion (one box car) to reach the highest 6 star rating by Nasva and became one of Japan's most secure passenger car production ever, even higher than its competitors' three-box, rush-hooded sedan.
A high percentage of security translates to how well the car protects the driver and passengers. Extensive accident reports are available on this site http://www.nasva.go.jp/mamoru/englis...0_elysion.html and comparison with various models and brands on this site http://www.nasva.go. jp/mamoru/english/2005/as105.html
High stiffness bodies are also useful for overall comfort as the car handles rugged roads with serenity, free of the creaks found in many older Honda's
The top-of-the-line VZ model is equipped with IHCC (intelligent cruise cruise control) and CMS (collision mitigation sensor) that works with radio wave radar mounted on the front grille to alert the driver if he is too close to the car in front and the seat belt automatic tightening and ready brakes, similar to pre-cash system in S-class. Radar can be double as night vision (concept similar to infrared night vision introduced in BMW) because it gives the image in the form of object graph in front shown on 8-inch navigation system mounted on the dashboard.
Other safety equipment include ABS (anti-lock brakes), VSA (vehicle stability), TCS, sidelip, and AFS (adaptive front lighting) on ​​the HID Xenon headlight projector.
Engine and brake
At launch, two engine options are available. The 2.4L i-VTEC K24A used in the Odyssey currently produces about 160 horses and 22.2 kg-m of torque. With almost the same specifications and gear ratios, it behaves and drives very similar to the current Odyssey and fires about 10.2 km/l in 10-15 Japanese standard tests (3 times the variable driving city stops and goes and 1 times driving the highway with 120 kg extra weight two passengers and no a/c).
The compression ratio of 9.7 pairs with anti-tapping sensors and intelligent time control makes it easy to take the RON 95 class. A 2.4L engine is the same but with different overhead and higher compression ratio than 11.0 which produces the 200hhp used at Honda JDM Absolute Odyssey is not currently available for Elysion.
The others are all-new 3.0L V6 i-VTEC J30A with VCM (variable cylinder management), 3-cylinder shutting-offs at one bank V6 when reduced power is required such as during roaming or driving downhill. The only tell-tale sign that the engine is running on 3 cylinders is when the ECO green light on the panel is lit.
All Elysion is equipped with ventilated 4-disc brakes with ABS and EBD.
Trim and specifications
There are 6 trims and different grades plus 2 special editions of AERO HDD. Three classes of 2.4L front-wheel drive models are available, namely M, G, and X. There are also three front wheel models 3.0L, VG, VX, and VZ. Four-wheel-drive optional on all models.
