2016 Honda Freed
Honda announced the second generation
2016 Honda Freed last month, but didn’t reveal it in detail except showing its
exterior in two images. Now, as the all-new model’s launch nears, the company
has revealed its interior as well as a few more exterior images.
Honda is yet to reveal the 2016 Honda
Freed’s complete specifications, but speaking about the new generation model’s
compact size and easy maneuverability in urban driving, the company has
mentioned that the length is 4,265 mm. However, this also means that the Honda
Freed has grown by 50 mm (from 4,215 mm) in length. The 2016 Honda Freed will
be available in two-row (5-seat) and three-row (6- or 7-seat) versions.
High-resolution images are still
awaited, but from what can be seen in the first interior images, the design,
styling and features have been significantly upgraded. The dashboard, and
centre console have been completely redesigned, and a new multifunction
three-spoke steering wheel is also among the major changes. The instrument
panel is completely digital in the 2016 Honda Freed. Honda will be offering
both dark and light upholstery choices.
The 2016 Honda Freed will be available
in two models: petrol and petrol-electric (conventional) hybrid. The 2016 Honda
Freed petrol is powered by the familiar 1.5-litre i-VTEC unit, while the 2016
Honda Freed hybrid features the new SPORT HYBRID i-DCD powertrain. The latter
will reportedly have a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
