In the recent years, there has been much talk about the need to conserve the environment. In view of all this talk, quite a number of motor companies have committed to the designing and manufacturing of automobiles that promise better fuel efficiency.
Honda, a Japanese car maker, has been getting a lot of plaudits over the years for its fuel efficient automobiles. The 2016 Honda Odyssey Hybrid is currently only available in Japan but we believe it is one of the cars that Honda will introduce onto the global market in line with their commitment to fuel efficient vehicles.
One of the major priorities in the manufacturing of this model will be, having a system of improved fuel and engine economy. The main competition for this Honda model will be provided by the Toyota Sienna, Nissan Quest and the Kia Sedona.
