In December 2008, the Honda Elysion minivan survived the next update. The front grille has been modified; for all models, the automatic light control function and a new highly efficient interior air purification system are installed as a standard. The luxury Elysion Prestige still occupies the top position in the line - this car is slightly different from the standard Elysion externally and is equipped with a 300-horsepower V6 engine with a working volume of 3.5 liters. In the top model added the electronic function of the parking brake and a new display on-board system. The "younger" Elysion, as usual, are equipped with either a 4-cylinder engine of 2.4 liters or a V-shaped "six" of 3 liters.
 With a planned family upgrade in the Honda Elysion lineup, a new base class “LX” with an 8-seater saloon appeared, including an expanded set of standard equipment: xenon headlights, two sliding doors, one of which is equipped with an electric drive and a closer, full power accessories, climate control, 17 inch aluminum wheels, electric driver seat, etc. e. Honda Elysion has updated its interior in detail: a modified center console, new finishes, including ebony panels. The base versions have a new super-three-dimensional instrument cluster with blue backlight. For all standard Elysion, the “NAVI special package” package is available, which is installed in the Prestige version. Optional equipment packages also include new combined seat upholstery and an intelligent key system, steering wheel and AT trim selector trim in genuine leather and wood, heated front seats, etc. d.

 The standard Honda Elysion, as before, is equipped with either a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine (K24A, 160 hp) or a 3-liter 6-cylinder V-engine (J30A, 250 hp). ) in combination with a 5-speed automatic transmission, front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Prestige models are equipped with a 3.5-liter unit, which develops 300 horsepower at a speed of 6200 rpm, and the maximum torque reaches a value of 353 Nm at 5000 rpm - these are characteristics of the front-wheel drive modification. All-wheel drive has a capacity of 279 hp and a torque of 343 Nm. The specific power indicators are impressive - approximately 7.25 kg (4WD) and 6.5 kg (2WD) per horsepower (more than 11 kg for the base Elysion). Thanks to this, the Elysion Prestige is considered the most dynamic minivan in the Japanese market. As for fuel consumption, the Prestige has 11.7 and 12.5 liters of gasoline per 100 km, depending on the type of drive. Modifications with a 2.4-liter engine consume about 9.8 and 10 l / 100 km. Models with a V6 engine - 10.2 and 10.5 l / 100 km.

 All four wheels of the Honda Elysion are attached to the body through the suspension of the same design - with double wishbones. This provides the car a purely "Honda" move. The manufacturer notes the measures taken to reduce vibrations transmitted to the body and to mitigate the shock and noise of the wheels in the rear and front suspension. The minivan has quite decent dimensions: the total length is 4840-4920 mm, the width is 1830-1845 mm, and the total height is 1790-1810 mm. The length of the wheelbase leaves no doubt about the spaciousness of the cabin - 2900 mm. Its dimensions: 2935 x 1580 x 1265 mm. Very comfortable interior transformation. Chairs of the second row are rotatable by 180 degrees. Each of the parts of the 2nd and 3rd rows moves along the long runners back and forth, occupying an arbitrary position, which allows you to flexibly change the space, giving preference to passengers or, conversely, for carrying luggage.  The car was created with increased safety requirements. The body, corresponding to the technology of Honda G-Con, for more than 30% consists of high-strength steel of increased rigidity. The low-floor sandwich platform also provides high crash safety. Honda Elysion's standard equipment includes an automatic locking system for door locks at a speed of 15 km / h, while the safety device unlocks the doors when the gear lever is set to “P”. The car is equipped with front airbags, an ABS system with EBD and an auxiliary braking system. Available options (some are installed with the V6 engine) include side airbags and curtain airbags, VSA and TCS stability control, cruise control, and adaptive road lighting.

 Honda Elysion is considered one of the best family sports minivans of the type. On the plus side: a well-thought-out comfortable interior, torquey V6 engine (even more powerful with the Prestige), excellent suspension settings. Of course, this is also an interesting and outstanding design, good sound insulation. Owners call disadvantages the racks that interfere with the review, the lack of a manual transmission selection mode, the location of the spare wheel under the body, complex electronics, expensive parts and low ground clearance.
