About the Honda Freed GB3
Launched in 2008 as a successor to the Honda Mobilio, the Freed (GB3) is a compact MPV based on the second-generation Jazz/Fit platform. It was designed specifically to maximise interior volume within a small footprint, offering five, seven, or eight-seat configurations despite its modest length. The 1.5-litre L15A engine provides adequate power for urban duties, while the low, flat floor and sliding doors make it exceptionally practical for families. While primarily a Japanese domestic market model, it has become a popular grey import in the UK due to its reliability and clever packaging.
