Honda Freed S – For Urban Families (RM99,800 OTR)

Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd has just introduced the new Freed S in Malaysia that boasts better affordability within the compact Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) segment ideally to appeal to the young professional urban family or couple.

The new Freed S comes to us as Complete Build-Up (CBU) unit that’s assembled in Indonesia and offers enhanced comfort levels through it’s square-shaped cabin design, especially for young modern families, which will appreciate this particular design which provides greater head-room and ease of movement for the elderly and kids. All thanks to the ingeniously built-under-floor fuel tank that’s still able to help Honda engineers achieve a lower than usual 410mm step up from the floor.

Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yoichiro Ueno said, “We are pleased to offer the new Freed S with the practicality, style and comfort of a Multi-Purpose Vehicle in an affordable package to Malaysians.”

The best in class walkthrough cabin of the new Freed S features four captain seats in the first two rows with a 200mm-wide aisle to ease access. This also increases visibility for all passengers in the first two rows.

The seating of this affordable MPV is flexible and can be configured to accommodate up to seven passengers comfortably or create a more spacious cargo area depending on requirements.

The third row seats of the Freed S are foldable in just three steps for extra loading space. This versatile configuration and spaciousness makes travelling convenient and fun because it helps to easily accommodate different travelling purposes, especially for that long out-of-town journey to visit the family. It can nicely fit in a baby pram, luggage and a golf set, with room to spare. The 1,620 mm low tailgate opening makes it convenient to load and unload cargo.

The new Freed S boasts of innovative storage space and holders such as the illuminated centre tray, large door pockets, backrest hook and front seat back pockets. There are 7-cup holders in the Freed S, which means each of the passengers has their own cup holders.

The dual layer dashboard is designed to hold all controls neatly, keeping the centre free of obstruction and is strategically placed for easy reach.

The new Freed S comes with a 5-speed auto transmission, Drive-By-Wire for smoother ride, 1.5L i-VTEC engine that produces maximum power of 118PS/6,600 rpm, which can also reach the maximum torque of 146Nm/4,800 rpm. The manual sliding doors makes getting in and out easier without restriction especially in tight parking situation. The fuel lid auto-lock safety system is a mechanism that prevents the manual sliding door from opening fully when the fuel lid is opened.

In the aspect of safety, the new Freed S features with dual front SRS airbags and seatbelt reminders for the driver. It is rated with 6-Stars JNCAP for both driver and passenger seat.

The G-Force Control Technology (G-CON) helps disperse the crash impact across the body frame while the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) gives better crash compatibility with other cars, thus minimising injuries. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electrical Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Grade Logic Control are featured in the latest Freed S.

The full-imported new Freed S is available in Brilliant White Pearl, Polished Metal Metallic and Crystal Black Pearl at all Honda dealers now.

The Freed S is the smartest MPV choice, which is sleek, stylish and compact MPV, all in one package with on-the-road price tag of RM99,800.00. Customers can test drive and place their booking for the new Freed S at any authorised Honda dealers nationwide.

I like this car although my wife don’t like it (in stead, I almost bought last year). My 4 years old son said his friend’s parent car got automatic sliding door and he also hope I can buy 1. Milo tin seems to be thicker but it is ok to ignore as the sitting position quite high, worst to worst just chop the legs. Although the wheel base vs the height and center of gravity on a 65 series tires is a bit scary but still, can always change to 17″ and put 215/40 rubbers. But when I read the 1st line of the 2nd paragraph, thank you, I ain’t gonna buy. People LCLY yet you still wanna support them to become more LCLY ar?
