Honda Brand Glossary: Five Technologies Worth Knowing

 

The technology in new Honda models is easier to appreciate when you understand what the branded names mean. From added traction to a more flexible family cabin, these features solve practical problems you may encounter around Westminster, MD. Heritage Honda Westminster created this glossary to explain these features and how they benefit you on every drive.

Honda Sensing®

Honda Sensing® is the brand's exclusive suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies, and it comes standard on every current Honda model. Its contents vary by vehicle, but the suite can help you monitor traffic, maintain a following interval, and remain centered within detected lane markings. That support can make commutes and highway travel easier to manage.

HondaLink®

HondaLink® connects compatible Honda vehicles with the HondaLink® smartphone app. Available functions vary by model, trim, and subscription package. Depending on your vehicle, you may be able to check vehicle information, find where you parked, lock the doors, or start the engine remotely. This connection puts useful controls and updates within reach even when you are away from the vehicle.

i-VTM4® AWD

The intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4®) all-wheel-drive system can distribute power between the front and rear axles. It can also direct different amounts of torque to each rear wheel. That side-to-side control helps the vehicle turn more naturally and find traction on slippery roads. The system is current on the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, and Honda Ridgeline, although availability varies by model and trim.

Magic Slide® Second-Row Seats

Standard across the 2027 Honda Odyssey lineup, Magic Slide® second-row seats can move laterally after you remove the center seat. You can create a clearer path to the third row, separate passengers, or bring a child closer to the front passenger. The design gives you several useful seating arrangements without requiring you to remove either outboard seat.

CabinWatch® and CabinTalk®

CabinTalk® is standard on every 2027 Honda Odyssey trim and lets your voice play through the rear speakers or connected headphones. CabinWatch®, standard on the Honda Odyssey Touring and Honda Odyssey Elite trims, displays rear passengers on the center screen and includes a night-view mode. Together, they make it easier to check on and communicate with passengers without turning around.
