Spy photos of the all-new Honda Freed
A few days ago, we learned from overseas media that the all-new Honda Free will be officially released on May 9. The Honda Fed is positioned as a compact MPV that is very popular in the Japanese market and is on the same platform as the Fit. The starting price of the current Honda Free in the Japanese market is about 120,000 yuan.
2023 Fit
At present, the new Honda Free has not yet released a real car picture, and the actual car that has been exposed before is also wrapped in strict camouflage. Judging from the "convention" of the model facelift, the car will make adjustments to the details of the light cluster and the details of the front bumper, and it is expected that the design style will be closer to the current Fit.
