Some automakers market the same cars around the world, while others offer different models - even under the same nameplate - for different markets. We're thinking of cars like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/volkswagen/passat/">Volkswagen Passat</a> or the previous <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/mazda/mazda6/">Mazda6</a>. Honda's been known to do so as well, with models like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/accord/">Accord</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/odyssey/">Odyssey</a>, which are completely different in North America than they are in other parts of the world.<br />
<br />
Now <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> has provided the first glimpse at the Odyssey minivan it offers for the Japanese Domestic Market (as well as Europe and other parts of the world). Though more compact than the US-market version, the new overseas Odyssey appears larger than the model it replaces, with a taller roofline increasing interior space.<br />
<br />
Though Honda hasn't released the model's full specifications, power is expected to come from a 2.4-liter inline-four mated to a continuously variable transmission. Beyond that, buyers will likely be able to choose between front- and all-wheel drive, two cabin layouts, two interior colors and seven or more exterior paints. The images also point towards blind-spot and auto-braking systems and an apparent eco mode. Although unconfirmed, we expect to see the new JDM Odyssey make its debut at the upcoming <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tokyo-motor-show/">Tokyo Motor Show</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/09/30/honda-previews-next-jdm-odyssey-minivan/">Honda previews next-gen JDM Odyssey minivan</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 30 Sep 2013 10:59:00 EST.
