Used Honda Elysion for sale (184 Results)

The Honda Elysion is a minivan with seven or eight seaters manufactured by the Japanese automaker Honda. Production of the Honda Elysion started from 2004 and still continues until today. At the beginning, the Elysion was only made for the Japanese Domestic Market as a rival of the Nissan Elgrand and the Toyota Alphard. It shares many common features with the Honda Odyssey but they are not the same vehicle. While the rear doors of the JDM Odyssey are conventional doors, those of the Elysion are sliding doors, the type that is often used on minivans. The USA-spec Honda Odyssey, called as Honda LaGreat in Japan, was too big in Japan, so the Elysion gets the design inspiration from the LaGreat and used it on a smaller minivan.

The name “Elysion” is a word from the classical Greek which means “heaven”.
