1. Honda Fit/Jazz Hybrid Official Pictures And Some Facts (plus estimated price)
2. Freed + Hybrid = 2011!
3. Honda Fit/Jazz Hybrid Will Get Insane Mileage

As you can see, the difference is merely cosmetics, different grill, bumper and blue shaded headlights differentiating the regular and the hybrid Fit. The rear also receives similar cosmetic changes with clear taillights, accented bumper and chrome accented trunk garnish.

Without the hybrid plaque on the rear, you will surely miss this hybrid on the road… Which is good, because you don’t want to attract attention to criminals whose MO is to puncture your tire with a hollow nail and rob you silly (because you don’t have spare tire).

It has been confirmed that the Fit/Jazz hybrid will be sporting the same engine used on the Insight 2.0, a 1.3L i-VTEC with IMA producing around 100ps. Interior pictures are still kept secret from Honda, but words are circulating that the Fit/Jazz Hybrid will have single color dashboard and blue lit dials. You can check out my entry about Honda Insight engine here, but for peace of mind sake, I’ll divulge a bit about the heart of Honda hybrid system.

Honda hybrid system or Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) is a simple system where an electric motor is sandwiched between the internal combustion motor and the driving wheel, in Honda case it’s always the front wheel to date. Back when it was introduced with the 2000 Honda Insight, the IMA doesn’t have the ability to purely run on electric motor. However, when the Insight 2.0 launched early last year, the IMA system was updated to purely run on electric motor albeit with a very strict condition… Steady cruise speed without any inclination… Any degree of inclination, then the motor kicks in again. Still good anyway.

A cut out of Honda IMA system, notice how the engine’s width is very narrow

Honda called its hybrid system IMA for a good reason, it simply “assists” the internal combustion engine at low speed and when the car is accelerating fast. A good thing because the nature of electric motor to produce maximum torque at just 1000 RPM means the engine doesn’t have to burn unnecessary excessive fuel to launch the car at stop and go driving. The IMA also acts as a starter motor because the whole engine has the ability to be turned off at idle (traffic lights) automatically and restarts at the press of the gas pedal.

To produce electricity, the IMA system itself is a cylindrical generator system that spins with the internal combustion engine. At steady speed, the IMA recharge the battery and when there’s a forward movement usually caused by braking the IMA also captures this momentum to spin the generator the opposite way and producing electricity.

A complete Honda IMA engine + transmission, the IMA system is marked yellow at the bottom picture

Something to note is that Honda engineers can’t magically insert an IMA system to an existing engine *snap* like that. The IMA takes considerable space inside the engine bay, therefore something got to give and it’s usually the engine that gets the shorter end of the straw. Honda hybrid system uses a specifically designed narrow engine to allow the placement of the IMA system next to the gearbox.

Now for the million Pesos/Ringgit/Sing Dollar/Rupiah/Baht/Dong question for us Asia Pacific residents… Will we get it? We don’t get the Insight, the CR-Z and the Civic Hybrid costs an arm and a leg. Are we getting the cream again instead of a bite of the cake? Not quite! We’ve seen the almost miraculous Honda Freed launched in the Asia Pacific, exclusive even outside of Japan… And why? Because the Freed is produced in the Asia Pacific region to gain advantage of AFTA. The Fit/Jazz has been produced in Indonesia for quite sometime, so you see where I’m going, it’s too easy for Honda to just import the hybrid engine and assembled it in Indonesia and imports it to other country in ASEAN. If this is inline with Honda global plan to be the leading automaker of hybrids (it’s in the CEO midyear speech which I’m going to cover soon), then, we will see a near simultaneous release of the Fit hybrid all over the world; Europe, America, Australia and Asia.

So when? The Fit hybrid in Europe will be announced at the Paris Motor Show next month and launched early 2011, in the United States it’s still unconfirmed but it will be there around 2011 as 2012 model, nope, it’s totally unconfirmed. The United States might even missed the hybrid Fit/Jazz totally… A bit of a “huh” moment, because the Europeans will get it although they already has the Insight 2.0 just like the Americans. On the other side of the world, Japan’s Nikkei confirmed that the Fit hybrid will be launched around Fall in Japan. Using Freed’s launch time frame, then it’s just a matter of 1 to 1.5 years before us ASEANs can drive a genuine affordable hybrid courtesy of Honda. So expect the Fit/Jazz hybrid to announced at the end of 2011 and available at the latest early 2012 in ASEAN.

How much? Now this is the interesting part… Because of difference in currency and taxes, I’m just going to use Indonesia expected price and price estimate slot, which will be universal. Honda Jazz RS in Indonesia is priced at Rp. 222 Million (2 Million Yen) while the Japanese Fit RS is priced at 1.69 Million Yen, specs are the same except we use 5AT instead of CVT, price difference between both automatic transmission should be negligible. The Freed in Indonesia is priced at Rp. 258 Million (2.4 Million Yen) while the same Freed is priced at 1.99 Million Yen in Japan, again specs are the same (digital AC control & power retractable mirror just recently added), except for the use of 5AT instead of CVT and the lack of HID.

Let’s do a simple math, now both the Fit/Jazz RS and the Freed in Indonesia reflects a 18 & 20% mark up in price compared with its Japanese brothers, let’s take 20% as our baseline number. Now let’s take Nikkei’s reported Fit hybrid price which starts at  a cool 1.59 Million Yen, in Indonesia, the Jazz hybrid will be priced starting at Rp. 202 Million… Now I suspect that it will be a manual version, so add the usual 10-14 Million for an automatic version, and voila! The estimated Honda Jazz hybrid automatic will be offered in Indonesia for around Rp. 216 Million (roughly US$22K), hell! Round that up to Rp. 220 Million and people will still buy it! Now let’s say Honda decided to go greedy or wanted to add the RS trim to the Jazz hybrid. In Indonesia, the Jazz RS commands Rp. 13 Million more than the baseline Jazz, so added to the baseline Jazz hybrid, the Jazz hybrid RS will still worth Rp. 229 Million… And that my friends are something totally purchasable.

If, and this is just another silly if from me… If Honda wanted to play “screw you all, this is the first commercially affordable hybrid in ASEAN, I’m putting price premium to you suckers!”, the Jazz hybrid will still be below Freed’s price  or at the very least, the same. Still, I’m buying one if I don’t have any car by that time. The Jazz hybrid reported fuel consumption is 26 Km/L or 61 MPG (US), but I suspect it’s just highway number. For inner city driving, I expect that number to drop to half at 13 Km/L or 30,5 MPG (US)… Again, that number is already phenomenal, my 1.5L SX4 automatic only manages an average of 8,4 Km/L or 19,7 MPG (US) for pure inner city driving.

Personally, I’m betting that the Jazz hybrid price range will be around Rp. 220 Million to Rp. 230 Million. It will be priced at Jazz RS level, and complement each other. One you pay premium for exhilarating drive and the other if you are down with the earth and stuff. Tax wise, the car wouldn’t be a luxury import because it is based on an existing car… So if there’s any different tax imposed, I’m really speechless.

It’s a bit stupid I know and most likely I’ll understand my kid’s action through time, but that feeling of uncertainty and the unknown always makes me feel queasy. My new job is also like that, being a country representative of an International company means I need to deal with new people everyday… But that’s okay, we talk the same language (moolah), but baby language? Anybody knows how to speak fluently?

1. Happy New Year And More Witty Comments!

According to Honda Australia spokesman Mark Higgins, the Fit/Jazz hybrid will net 26 Kilometer per Liter of fuel or 61 MPG (US) estimated using Japan’s new stricter government measurement standard. If anything the figure would be a highway figure rather than inner city (hell) driving. Still, with hybrid charge cycle/stop go characteristic, inner city driving would net better mileage than regular internal combustion engine anytime.

Another amazing point (two to be exact) is the weight and type of battery used in the next Fit/Jazz hybrid. The car is going to weigh in at 1100 KG and it will use a Nickel Hydrogen battery. Nothing so special if you think about it for a second right? Well think about it for a minute, and bing/google current generation Fit/Jazz weight and what is Nickel Hydrogen and you’ll see it’s very special.

Current Fit/Jazz weighs in at 1100 KG (FIT RS, CVT, Japan domestic market) and the next Fit/Jazz hybrid weighs in about the same. It’s special because hybrid cars has two extra component on top of regular cars and it’s the battery and electric motor. The battery alone take considerable space, that’s why most hybrids doesn’t have spare tire, and the electric motor puts extra weight on the engine bay. So it’s quite amazing that Honda can match the old Fit/Jazz weight with the extra gizmos on the new Fit/Jazz hybrid. Then, there’s the battery.

Toyota and GM with its Prius and Chevrolet Volt will usher in the new generation of hybrid and electric car using Lithium Ion battery. Said to be smaller yet has the capacity to hold more charge than the outgoing Nickel Metal Hydride battery used in many hybrids nowadays. Now, Australia Honda spokesman hinted that Honda is still using a Nickel based battery, but a Nickel based battery that is currently used in outer space.

I won’t try to act that I know about Nickel Hydrogen, so let me shamelessly quote a short article about it from hydrogencarsnow.com which offers the simplest explanation about the battery.

According to the Florida State University website, “The nickel-hydrogen battery has a nickel oxide positive electrode similar to the nickel-cadmium cell, and is like the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell since it has a hydrogen negative electrode. This hybrid battery has a long cycle life, high specific energy, high power density, and also exhibits tolerance for overcharge, and is therefore the choice battery in many aerospace applications, especially geo-synchronous (GEO) and low earth-orbit (LEO) satellites. In addition, the battery’s hydrogen pressure is a good indicator of the charge state of the battery.” The nickel-hydrogen battery from the FSU website is pictured above.

So in a way, this Nickel Hydrogen battery is essentially a hydrogen cell packed inside a battery, that’s why it’s called a hybrid battery… And what do you know? Honda will use a SPACE AGE technology battery that is a HYBRID by itself for its hybrid car… (sorry, couldn’t resist).

There’s no real life comparison  between Nickel Hydrogen and Lithium Ion in term of effectiveness, power holding capability and shelf life. But think about it this way, Nickel Hydrogen battery is the battery of choice for satellites, something that’s when launched is usually left for its own for years even decades. So each components must be redundant enough to withstand environmental hazard like the extreme cold or the extreme heat of outer space.

Well, this news could be a hoax after all. I never imagined that this groundbreaking news would be told first by Honda Australia official. But if it’s real… Honda will have its factory workers works double time over the Fit/Jazz hybrid lifetime, especially if the persistent rumor that the company will bet everything in hybrids and making it go mainstream came true. Sub 200 Million Rupiah /US$20K hybrid in Indonesia? Hell YEAH!

2. Freed + Hybrid = 2011!
3. CR-Z & Fit Hybrid Confirmed Next Year

Just one product cycle ago Freed’s predecessor, the Mobilio was Honda two prong attack to entry level 6 seater scene and the hatch-with-ginormous cargo bay scene. The Mobilio and Mobilio Spike was an odd car to say the least, too small for a three row car and oddly huge for a city runabout. But Honda had nothing to loose, after all the Mobilio and its Spike variant is just one car model, with same underpinnings, engine and transmission, with the difference being just their physical outlook. When the Freed was unveiled, the Mobilio bows down and left the scene graciously bringing along its brother the Spike with it.

When Freed was launched, Honda pulled a Mobilio and offered the consumer a three row seat variant (the classic) or the two row seat variant (dubbed the Flex). Both though shares the same everything sans the third row seat and an optional all glass roof for the Flex, so it’s not exactly a Freed Spike… Then enters Freed Spike! A bit of a in your face actually because after all its given that the Freed officially replacing the Mobilio, so why not repeat the same formula?

Jazz/Fit on steroid

The Freed Spike, like the Freed Flex is basically a Freed with its third row seat removed. But why stop there right? Repeating the same Spike formula like its predecessor, the Freed Spike is like the macho brother that Freed never were.

The Freed Spike receives a major rhinoplasty (nose job if you would), replacing Freed’s droopy hood with an angular lines that resembles Honda Crossroad through and through. The angular lines also stretched towards the bumper, creating a boxy looking front end and coupled with similarly angular headlight. Speaking of which, the headlight-grill design now resembles Honda City headlight-grill, which is very nice and creates a sense of power away from the friendly looking Freed.

¾ back, the Freed receives another facelift job, which strikes me as odd and looks like it’s stapled on. The third row glass now gone replaced by a contoured body colored panel with a black colored side garnish. It’s actually in line with Mobilio Spike heritage, but whereas in the Mobilio version the third row glass is replaced with a solid body panel, the Freed rendition is just a fancy filler… A glaring cost cutting effort from Honda.

The inside front portion of the car remains the same with Honda Freed, except the major difference is the omission of two tone interior color for a single tone gray on gray color. The second row seat now is strictly a three seater and no option for captain seat, which is understandable because a 5 seater is always better for a non sport car model. Now let’s take a look at the missing third row seat and what black magic Honda engineers did to the space that’s left of it.

Just two paragraph ago I ridicule how Honda tack on the third row glass with a fancy filler but inside it’s a whole different story. Honda always does wonder with interiors, be it smart seat on a small car or hidden compartment’s that somewhere somebody only realized its existence years after. Honda Freed Spike rear interior section is as different as some crazy doctor rearranging a patient’s guts.

Do mind that the standard Freed has a featureless rear interior which houses the upward foldable seats. With them gone, Honda decided to “double deck” the cargo bay and make a two tier cargo similar to CR-V cargo bay. In closed position and with the second row folded forwards, the cargo bay allows for a flat surface that stretches across from the rear front seat to the back, good for stowing bikes or for you to sleep there… Personally, I’ve slept on the back of the Fit/Jazz with the seat folded flat, the Freed Spike should make a roomier makeshift bed. On open position, off course the cargo bay surface drops down and you can stuff taller objects.

For the two tier cargo bay to be made, Honda had to reposition the rear speakers upward, just opposite the now defunct third row glass. This in theory should make the default sound system sounded better because the speakers are positioned close to the roof of the car and positioned like front speakers installed on kickpanels. The sound should converge without obstruction and create balanced soundstage. Also, if the user decides to take advantage of the huge cargo space, it’s good to have speakers up top so the sound is not obstructed by random stuff. Just in case if you’re not satisfied enough, Honda also installed an omni directional light, a plethora of storage space, multi point latches and… a foldable mini table at the cargo area (seriously).

Freed Spike definitely lives up to the Spike legacy; a city runabout with cavernous cargo bay and innovative storage space. The attractive aggressive styling cue is different enough for people to not mistake this car with the more sedate Freed classic. But the 2.47 Million Yen (Gi-Aero trim) question beckons, who is the car caters for? Honda classifies the car as a subcompact, same as the Jazz/Fit but the car is bigger and has everything Freed classic offers sans the third row, but you also get a cavernous cargo bay. The driving dynamics certainly fell victim to the height of the car and the extra weight as the engine and transmission is unchanged from the Freed classic.

In the press photos, Honda seems keen that this car is like the perfect getaway/picnic car. The large cargo can haul everything from picnic table to Honda own  compact electric generator and still has room to spare. But probably Honda only thinks about Japan where infrastructure is developed very well so roads to the outbacks can be traversed with a city car. For me, this is the perfect band car. Seats 5, and has good cargo to stow all the musical instrument minus the drum set.

Then things started to pick up when I noticed Superhonda.com forums are more about member talk and less about news. So I started a topic now and then, and got positive response. So I decided to put all this news on my own blog. Fast forward a couple of years, I helped a friend create a marketing strategy for his then start up hosting company and voila… I got a free domain with excellent service (a basic membership domain but it’s more than plenty, thanks Ahman!). Fast forward a couple more years and here we are now. This blog is still a channel for me to exercise English, but also became a semi portal for anything Honda, especially this South East Asia part of the world.

However, lately I realized that time doesn’t permit me much activity on this blog. I’m still in the process of finishing my thesis, I teach undergrads on weekends and the usual work in weekdays. I have many unfinished articles on this blog, and people will look at this blog with one eyed closed if I let it drag too long (seems some already do). Worse of all, it seems that for some unknown reason most involves me not knowing of anything web related… My web disk capacity is nearing its limit. Somehow I installed too many plugins/things and not everything that I installed are of use.

Well, I’m talking to my webhost friend and he agreed to wipe clean my domain and I could start over with a clean slate, with a matching magazine style design for my more than usual late updates.

But again, most of all, I wanted to thank you… Yes you! For reading this blog. So, until next update…

Kebutuhan akan sebuah kendaraan premium pengangkut penumpang (people mover) tampaknya menjadi sebuah tren di Indonesia. Terbukti dengan banjirnya jalanan ibukota dengan Toyota Alphard, Honda Elysion dan Nissan Elgrand. Kendaraan-kendaraan ini menawarkan kabin yang lapang dengan bangku tengah berskema captain seat yang sangat nyaman. Akan tetapi, kendaraan-kendaraan tersebut memiliki satu kelemahan, yaitu pada dinamika berkendaranya. Dengan kabin yang lapang, Alphard/Elysion/Elgrand juga memiliki desain yang jangkung atau tinggi. Seperti yang kita ketahui, semakin tinggi sebuah kendaraan, semakin tinggi pula titik gravitasinya. Hal ini menyebabkan ketika mobil dibelokkan dengan kecepatan yang sedang-tinggi, akan terjadi fenomena body roll atau yang umum kita kenal dengan istilah “limbung” karena momentum memaksa bodi kendaraan bergerak melawan arah belokan.

Kebutuhan akan sebuah people mover premium dengan titik gravitasi rendah mungkin tidak terlalu banyak, namun tetap saja ada permintaan di ceruk pasar tersebut. Toh, dengan bangku yang lebih rendah, posisi kaki penumpang dapat lebih rileks dengan memosisikan kaki bawah semakin rata dengan posisi paha (posisi berselonjor). Untuk menjawab permintaan pasar tersebut, Honda Prospect Motor selaku agen tunggal pemegang merek Honda di Indonesia, memasukkan generasi ke-4 Honda Odyssey.

Honda Odyssey sendiri adalah sebuah kendaraan berkategori MPV atau Multi Purpose Vehicle atau sederhananya, kendaraan serbaguna. Odyssey diciptakan pertama kali sebagai sebuah kendaraan serbaguna yang mampu memuat 7 orang penumpang dengan nyaman. Desainnya pun serupa dengan kebanyakan MPV lain, dengan kabin yang lapang dan langit-langit yang tinggi. Pada generasi ke-3, insinyur perancang Honda melakukan gebrakan baru di dunia otomotif dengan memperkenalkan Honda Odyssey sebagai MPV beratap rendah. Berkat atap yang rendah ini, dinamika berkendara Honda Odyssey secara teoritis meningkat drastis, dengan target bahwa mobil ini memiliki dinamika berkendara seresponsif sedan.

Banyak yang mengira dengan Honda memangkas tinggi Honda Odyssey berarti ruang dalam kendaraan menjadi lebih kecil. Tentu saja hal tersebut tidak benar karena Honda menurunkan juga lantai Honda Odyssey sehingga ukuran ruang kabin tidak berpengaruh. Malahan, tinggi ruang kabin Honda Odyssey generasi ke-3 lebih tinggi 5 mm dibandingkan dengan generasi ke-2 yang secara fisik lebih tinggi.

Gambar potongan samping generasi ke-3

Untuk generasi ke-4 ini, insinyur perancang Honda Odyssey bahkan melakukan hal yang luar biasa sekali lagi mengenai rancang bangun kendaraan. Odyssey generasi ke-4 memiliki panjang keseluruhan 4800mm, lebih panjang 30mm, dan panjang ruang kabin keseluruhan 2850mm, lebih panjang 60mm dibanding Odyssey generasi ke-3. Lebih hebat lagi adalah, tinggi Odyssey generasi ke-4 lebih rendah dibandingkan pendahulunya. Dengan tinggi 1545mm atau lebih rendah 5mm, Honda Odyssey generasi ke-4 memiliki ruang kepala sama tinggi dengan model lawas. Mengenai lebar, tampaknya Honda tidak memberikan perubahan yang berarti dan mempertahankan lebar Odyssey generasi ke-4 sama dengan Odyssey generasi ke-3 pada 1800mm.

Dinamika berkendara maksimum

Definisi dinamika berkendara terkadang memiliki makna multitafsir yang menyesatkan. Namun disini, Honda ingin menekankan bahwa dinamika berkendara adalah perpaduan antara kekuatan akselerasi kendaraan, kecepatan maksimum kendaraan dan kemampuan bermanuver pada kecepatan tinggi maupun sedang. Secara teoritis, Honda Odyssey memiliki ketiga faktor dinamika berkendaraan tersebut berkat beberapa atribut sebagai berikut:

• Titik gravitasi yang rendah. Dengan merendahkan lantai dan atap kendaraan, Honda Odyssey memiliki kecenderungan limbung yang rendah. Kecenderungan limbung yang tinggi pada kondisi ekstrimnya dapat membuat mobil terguling karena terdorong oleh momentum.
• Suspensi double wishbone. Honda Odyssey dibuat diatas platform global Honda Accord yang berarti kendaraan ini memiliki suspensi yang sama. Keunggulan suspensi double wishbone terletak pada kemampuannya untuk memvariabelkan sudut kemiringan ban pada tikungan ataupun kondisi jalan yang bergelombang. Alhasil, selain nyaman, suspensi double wishbone menunjang manuver pada kecepatan tinggi dan sedang dengan sangat baik.
• Mesin i-VTEC 2.4L (K24) yang diperbarui. Honda Odyssey, seperti Honda Accord menggunakan mesin berkapasitas 2400cc. Namun untuk generasi ke-4 ini mesin K24 yang legendaris ini mendapatkan sedikit perubahan dan menghasilkan daya sebesar 180ps untuk pasar Indonesia. Di Jepang sendiri, mesin Honda Odyssey hanya menghasilkan daya 173ps. Meskipun begitu, di Jepang Honda Odyssey memiliki varian Absolute yang tidak tersedia di Indonesia yang menggunakan mesin sama namun menghasilkan daya sebesar 206ps.
• Gigi otomatis 5 kecepatan. Honda Odyssey melengkapi jajaran kendaraan Honda dengan gigi otomatis 5 kecepatan. Dengan 5 kecepatan, Honda Odyssey memiliki rasio gigi yang lebih banyak sehingga akselerasi kendaraan optimal dapat dicapai pada tiap tingkat kecepatan.

Dengan empat poin diatas, Honda Odyssey memiliki potensi dinamika berkendara yang luar biasa. Pengendara Honda Odyssey dapat memacu kendaraannya dengan kecepatan tinggi dan bermanuver layaknya seorang pembalap… Meskipun tentunya hal tersebut sangat tidak disarankan. Namun setidaknya Honda Odyssey memiliki potensi untuk dipacu melebihi aturan keamanan yang berlaku.

Berbicara keamanan, Honda Odyssey memiliki standar keamanan aktif dan pasif yang memukau. Honda Odyssey versi Indonesia hadir dengan fitur keamanan yang meningkatkan kenyamanan berkendara dan keamanan berkendara dalam segala suasana. Honda Odyssey memiliki fitur keamanan sebagai berikut:

• Airbag
• ABS + EBD + BA
• VSA + Adaptive motion steering

Bersambung…

Yang belum: Interior, kelengkapan, Harga (Rp. 563 juta), untuk siapa, foto… Perbandingan dengan versi Jepang… Perlu gak masukin versi Amerika? Kayaknya sih…

It’s when I looked back this couple of weeks, I realized… How awful I was. My tone of writing is off the jackass scale. Some post even made me wonder, did I wrote that? Crazy bat shit insane.

Is this because I started teaching so I have more self awareness on my tone, or is it because I failed at “that”. But anywho, I apologize to anyone who got offended by my previous posts, and I’ll try that very hard to rewrite all offensive posts here so I hope my posts can be beneficial to my dear readers… You.

No related posts.

Off course what you request the most is a comparison about Freed’s competitor in price which involves much bigger car (Toyota Innova and first generation Nissan Serena). I had that in mind when writing the outline of the blog entry, but left it out because I wanted to have a category specific comparison. So I guess I’m bringing it back, so stay tune folks.

Again, thank you thank you thank you… Dropping in comments in Bahasa or English is welcome here. Bila ada kalimat atau istilah yang tidak dimengerti juga bisa dibahas dibagian komentar. Sekali lagi terimakasih untuk perhatiannya.
