    The newly released Honda Freed in Japan. The latest model of Honda, a compact mini-van probably in the same segment with Toyota Avanza:

    ok lang, parang Jazz XL. kaso mukang FWD to eh. kung based pa lang sa price ng Jazz, baka mas mahal pa lumabas to, e priced out of the competition na sya agad.

    More info:

    Compact dimensions: 4,215 mm L × 1,695 mm W × 1,715 mm H (FF vehicles) or 1,720 mm H for vehicles equipped with the Skyroof

    Sliding rear doors on either side of the vehicle achieve a large (600 mm*2) door opening for easy ingress and egress even in cramped spaces. Also available with each variation are power sliding doors that open and close easily for added convenience.

    Owing to its 2,740 mm wheelbase and compact mechanical devices, the Freed has ample interior space while offering a minimum turning radius of only 5.2 meters.

    Powertrain
    ·
    The 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine provides full-range power and fuel efficiency of 16.4km per liter. (Results for front-wheel-drive vehicle in 10-15 mode during fuel efficiency testing by Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport andTourism.)
    ·
    The torque converter and continuously variable transmission provide powerful, smooth acceleration and exhilarating yet comfortable performance under a wide variety of driving conditions.

    Chassis
    ·
    A MacPherson strut suspension on the front end provides firm yet responsive contact with the road.
    ·
    In the rear, an H-shaped torsion beam suspension provides stability and comfort.
    ·
    Honda’s Electric Power Steering enables easy maneuverability when parking or cornering, while on the highway the steering feels solid.

    A compact body with cabin space that allows adults to sit comfortably in all three rows
    ·
    A flat-floor, newly designed from the frame up, maximizes usable space from end to end

    The one-step low- and flat-floor and walk-through layout provideease of access for children and seniors

    If that's the case then it is going to be a CBU unit. They'll tax that thing through the roof.

    According to Motioncars, the Freed will follow the GE Jazz and new City to our shores. Expect a release date in early 2009. They say it'll get the L15A i-VTEC engine, mated to either a CVT or automatic.

    Possible na nasa 900K pataas. Unless bawasan ang trim level para bumaba ang price.

    I like the sliding doors. :D

    Paano kaya ang ingess to the third row, parang livina and APV OR parang Avanza and some crosswind?
