Honda Freed 1.5G aero L package

Freed who shows good sale from the beginning of a debut in the compact minivan market of the site of a hardfought battle. I will spy into the secret of the popularity by long-run drive.
Freed is the minivan with which the adult was able to give the three-row sheet which can sit down comfortably though it was a compact body. It was put on the market on May 30, 08 and good start called an about 20,000-set order received is shown in one month.
Although Honda put Mobilio on the market as a compact minivan in 01, this thought management nature as important and also stopped full length as short as possible. But, it is said that there was much voice which expects the space of the larger 3rd row sheet from a user.
In response, Freed was developed and it is a succeeding vehicle of Mobilio substantially. As for the derivation vehicle of the ラゲッジ space serious consideration using the platform of Mobilio, and the Mobilio spike, Freed's five two-row sheet riding specification inherited the role.
An engine is 1.5l. FF combines CVT and 4WD has combined 5 速 AT. It roughly divides and variations are G system of a three-row sheet, and a FLEX system of a two-row sheet. Although there are a captain sheet (seven-person riding) and a bench seat (eight-person riding) in G system in the 2nd row, eight-person riding serves as only FF.
This time, it rode also on the backseat to the run over a total of 1400km for several days for a long time.
Freed shares fundamentally the platform and suspension mechanism of a new style fit. Of course, the characteristic center tank layout is also inherited, and the low floor position has contributed it to reservation of good getting-on-and-off nature or a large indoor space greatly.
Full length is 4215mm. It was extended by about 160mm that the 2nd row and the space between the 3rd row should be earned just, and it should come out, and should carry out to Mobilio adhering to making full length shorter than 4m.
However, breadth is stopped by 1695mm and 5 number frames. A rear door is a both-sides slide type, and, as for standard equipment and a right-hand side power slide, in left-hand side, an option setup of the power slide is carried out except for G of a base grade, and FLEX only at the upper grade of FF.
The indoor layout is rather skillful. When the 2nd row is captain sheets by three-row sheet specification, walk-through from a front seat to the 3rd row is also possible for a sheet. Moreover, at least the 3rd row of the field of view with few feeling of a blockade has been obtained by setup used as gradually as high with a flat floor a seating position as the 2nd row and the 3rd row.
Just because that an independent type captain sheet can be set as the 2nd row with the minivan of this size has the width which can use the 3rd row firmly.
On the other hand, although the direction of a bench seat can be widely used for a transverse direction, form is liable to a flat and it is somewhat hot that the light width G also maintains a posture. Moreover, when the 2nd row is bench seats, the belt of a central seat will become a two-point type. This will already have deficient backseat seat belt wear now used as duty.
To be sure, the space of the 3rd row sheet which is also Freed's melon can sit down with a posture with two honest persons also an adult. The grade which a knee touches with a few at a seat back also where the 2nd row sheet is slid to the method of the last. It seems that a knee will not be unnaturally bent if the slide position of the 2nd row sheet is made proper. It bounds, it is a raising type, and in the direction of order, an obstacle does not produce storage of this 3rd row sheet instead of upper width narrowing for a while, when [ to right and left ] using as a load room.
As for the case of FLEX (two-row sheet), a fairly large luggage area is obtained also capacity entrainment. Since the lower end and floor of a ラゲッジ opening are the almost same height, receipts and payments of a load are also smooth.
An engine is fundamentally [ as 1.5 i-VTEC which appears in Fit RS ] the same. It has the spec. of horsepower output 118ps and maximum torque 14.7kgm. Probably, it is just going to worry power performance, because 車重 of no less than 200-220kg is heavier than the fit RS at FF.
However, on the conditions to the three-person entrainment which test-rode, appropriate dissatisfaction was not produced in the passing acceleration which is on cruising on a highway, and practical use, and is [ that it is under / town / of course ] needed.
Control of a torque converter is smooth, without using mind, と can also obtain lenience and severity free, start is also smooth to an accelerator work and its acceleration from there is also so comfortable [ in the case of FF, missions are CVT, but ] to it. Engine sound was also able to consider the common region in the quiet category in this class.
In 100km/h cruising of a flat way, at about 2200rpm, the moment fuel consumption meter of 車載 in this case does 18-20km of liters from beginning to an end. The aggregate average fuel consumption in a total of 1400 aboutkm runs, such as 350km of suburban 路約, about 150km of city areas, etc. which contain about 900km of highways and winding for most by two-person entrainment, was liter 15.4km and good fuel consumption.
It is stability and a degree of comfort that it tends to become a weak point of the minivan where the body is small. In the case of Freed, body rigidity improves more sharply than Mobilio, and it can just regard that it is the low center of gravity, that the wheel base is no less than 2740mm, etc. as not bad so in conditions considering vehicle height.
Also when it went on a cruise in a highway on the strong day of a side wind, the amount of corrections of the steering was small, it ended, and グラグラ and the shaking feeling were also suppressed in the roll direction. As for handling, 14-inch tire specification is feeling in which a tire will begin to cry shortly after there is little margin and it attacks lightly to 車重. The direction of the specification which wore a 15-inch tire is solid also by the field of the response of a steering, or the sense of stability at the time of going straight.
Since assistance also follows quick steering completely, power steering which adopted the ブラシレス motor is set at the time of parking, and as etc. is easy. If indoor space is taken into consideration, it is preeminent for the merit of management.
A degree of comfort is equipped with the profound feeling as this class, and fine unevenness or a fine projection are not sensitively told by a 15-inch tire wearing vehicle, either. With the 2nd row sheet, rather than some 5 number full-size minivans, the calm degree of comfort was shown and it seemed to be desirable.
