Honda Freed Petrol Hybrid: A Spacious and Efficient Family Car for UK Roads
If you are looking for a versatile and eco-friendly family car that can handle the challenges of driving in the United Kingdom, the Honda Freed Petrol Hybrid is definitely worth considering. This spacious seven-seater MPV combines a fuel-efficient petrol engine with an electric motor, resulting in a smooth and responsive ride that can save you money on petrol costs.
With its sleek design and compact dimensions (4.3 meters long, 1.7 meters wide), the Honda Freed is easy to manoeuvre through tight city streets and park in cramped parking spots. It's also equipped with features that make it ideal for long journeys and family outings, such as a panoramic sunroof, a DVD entertainment system, multiple airbags, and electronic stability control.
But what really sets the Honda Freed apart from other MPVs is its hybrid powertrain. The 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine produces 132 horsepower and works together with an electric motor to provide instant torque delivery and increased fuel efficiency. Thanks to Honda's Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) technology, the car automatically switches between three driving modes - EV Drive (100% electric), Hybrid Drive (combining both engine and motor), or Engine Drive (pure petrol engine) - depending on road conditions, speed, and driver preferences.
As a result of this intelligent system, the Honda Freed delivers impressive fuel economy figures: up to 62.8 mpg combined cycle* when measured under latest World Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) standards! And with CO2 emissions of just 102 g/km*, you'll enjoy lower road tax costs.
Safety is always paramount with any car purchase so drivers will be glad to know that all variants of the model comes with Lane Keep Assist System which gently adjusts steering to help keep you in lane when it detects an unintentional departure as well as Adaptive Cruise Control which uses radar technology to keep your vehicle at a safe distance from cars ahead.
In terms of interior space – no matter where you sit - there’s enough room throughout for even adult passengers over six feet tall thanks to easily adjusted seat arrangements enabling optimal flexibility whilst out on drives too.
Overall if space, comfortability without sacrificing great gas mileage or fuel efficiency are things that peak your interest then The Honda Freed might be perfect fit!
