Hi Bob, Proton Exora is a nice car, but it’s not Freed direct competitor per se. It has larger standard 1.6L engine which classifies it with the 2.0L MPVs such as Toyota Kijang Innova and Nissan Serena. The Exora definitely has a good price performance ratio: good engine, roomy interior, and rear aircon. However, its 1.6L engine not as powerful as Nissan’s or Toyota’s 2.0L engine, but it’s in the same tax bracket (engine above 1.5L is classified as 2.0L) … So cost of ownership is high without the benefit of the engine power. The same thing goes for reliability, the new Proton cars have yet to be proven.

Thank you for the compliment. Choosing between Freed, Innova and Grand Livina is really a matter of preference and typical everyday usage, there is no clear winner among them. Innova is perfect if you need to carry more than 4 person on board all the time, otherwise all those power would go to waste. The Freed is perfect for 2 with a driver/chauffeur, got good fuel economy too. The Grand Livina is perfect if you want to drive the car yourself, great handling dynamics and gob load of torque.

Such a wonderful review. Thanks a lot. I wonder if you can advice me to choose among Freed (RS), Innova V AT, and Gran Livina 1.8 AT Ultimate.

Recently launched in Thailand.

But here HONDA calls it MUV – Multi Utility
Vehicle. Built in Indochina – Honda Jazz platform.

1,5 V-TEC. Auto transmission and the rest.
Price: THB 900,000 – 1,000,0000 +

I wish they had the cool Sean Lennon Japanese TV ad here as well.

I really think it all depends on the government policy regarding automotive tax and the cost of raw materials.

The Freed should be perfect for your needs Pak Julius. The Freed is designed for families in all of its stages, from the young to the established. Regarding the inquiries, there should be no special price quote for existing Honda owners. Because the car itself has been booked all over the dealers.

But rest assure, the Freed is the pinnacle for people movers. It might not fit 8-9 people + cargo, but it sure will drive you and your family with comfort and class.
