The Odyssey was introduced in 1995, based on the Accord platform, with a 4-cylinder engine and featuring rear swing-open rather than sliding doors. The basic vehicle was shared between the Japanese and North American markets. The Odyssey was also the first minivan to have a flat-folding third row seat.[citation needed] The second and third bench style seats can also be folded nearly flat so the van may be used as a sleeping area for two adults, or as a camper.
