Honda has confirmed that it will reveal a full model change of the Honda Freed MPV this year. The carmaker’s president & CEO, Takahiro Hachigo, briefly mentioned the news during his recent speech which detailed the company’s future outlook.
Speaking about strengthening the production and sales of key regionally-relevant Honda models, Hachigo used the next-generation Freed as an example when speaking about his plans for Japan.
No further mention was made of the next-gen Freed, though, leaving matters well in the dark for now. Currently, we know that the Honda Freed is only produced and assembled in Japan and Indonesia. Very few markets outside of the two countries have the model for sale — Hong Kong is the only other market to officially have the Freed on sale.
The Honda Freed was once sold in Malaysia as well. Positioned as a “premium compact MPV” here, the model made its local debut in 2010, priced at RM112,980. In 2013, two variants of the facelift version were launched, priced at RM99,800 and RM113,500. Poor demand for the tall MPV saw Honda Malaysia discontinue sales of it here.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
poor demand because of its high price, sell within jazz price sure get lot of buyers
Look at this car. So much better than the junk Juara that Proton can come up with. Eploy thousands of engineers and the best they can come out with is the yellow Juara and until today, they still think it is happening.
Poor demand because everybody in Malaysia wanted Proton Juara. Especially the yellow one. Can pull any girl in town.
Driving a Juara shows how intelligent our Proton engineers are. the car beat Freed big time
Aye.
This car really strong RV in used market. Meaning demand is actually there, but stupiak Honda Msia overpriced it kawkaw.
Should price it closer to Avanza pricing, all specs give ESP, guarantee become another HRV
coming to Malaysia in 2020 or not.. we don’t give a shit -honda ceo
Sien tata have half-cutted this car
Honda Malaysia hike the life out of is Freed model..pricing it wayyyyy over the intended market sector, it also has some major flaws such as the cramp /useless third row seats…I couldn’t sit on it even after adjusting the mid row to “just” about accomodate my size which is about 178cm (in just I mean just my knees was scraping on the back of the driver seat) I’m not sure are all Japanese people are so small in stature? That they design the last row to have to squeeze in even for small size people. The luggage area is also another let down, un
ess you fold up the seat which makes the Freed a four seater…the small is truely minisule…only good for day trips…what good is it then as MPV that can’t travel out of city?!
What important is Honda RV still good!
Not all people buy car because of RV,Be it Japanese or what..People with flair and taste will try something soulful and enigma to drive.
