I'm watching your thread too bro..

I don't really need 7 seats daily, but if my MIL stops driving, it will be a nice bonus.. 
The bigger ones are really rather large and hard to navigate around challenging car parks, but if this one has enough zip, it might be interesting.. although the bigger Stepwagon is an idea too after what I read in your thread...

Stepwagon will be a better choice than Freed for hauling ppl around.

1.5L will kill in more frequently to charge the battery

Best is to test drive. But if you are talking about driving experience. The malaysian reviewers feel the 1.5 system is underpowered on the highways and sluggish beyond the usual city driving speeds.

But since can test drive at Kah motors. That's good.

Stepwagon is a tad longer than Noah and Serena. Will definitely be harder to parallel. 

I think the 2.0 Honda system is significantly better than the 1.5 for overall drivability for me.

Just hope the drive won't be cui like 2nd gen Sienta with petrol engine.

Test drive before at BM and totally pissed off when I was trying to move off from stationary.

Low speed is pure EV.  It should be better.

I had a bit of time, so I went to check it out..

Build quality of the interior is not too shabby. Not Merc but hard wearing materials, with many nice touch surfaces. More importantly very practical cubby holes and storage.

Decent support for front seats, less so for middle and rear rows. If you're above average in height, thigh support is only ok for the middle row. But the boot and folding seats are very practical. With only five seats, the boot is huge and even with all seven seats, there's a usable space in the boot.

No test drive, but since the motor and engine can't work in synchrony, you won't get neck breaking speeds, but the motor with > 250 nm of torque will give a nice shove at the red light. For those who need a smaller, and cheaper 7 seater, it's not too bad. First batch of 150 are all sold..

I don't 'need' seven seats, it's a bonus, so I'll keep this in mind, but I'm still watching for the year end launch of the Land Cruiser Mini... 
The CRV was next to it, and it's much larger, probably more challenging to park and drive about in a tight car park, just like the Stepwagon... so let's see...

Mainly for MIL but it's a very interesting small people mover... I won't mind using it for school runs and such too...

Since Motor has 100hp + 250nm torque, it should be similar to cat A EV from standstill.

LC Mini in Japan/SEA likely to be 2.8L.

Sg will not get it

$169K is HE7 or HS7?

[Evo5sg]

@jhnology should be he7. List price 171k

[Advancer]

Price is good at $169k for HE7.

Think those interested may wanna secure this round as I expect COE to rebound.

I booked a unit at $170k when it was first launched in end Aug, can collect car this Friday.

[wongpumpkins]

Sorry guy..my mistake..price is $166099 after early bird..HE7..

[wongpumpkins]

@Advancer i heard se said is group collection..about 48 owners

[Advancer]

@wongpumpkins yup, but I am not collecting yet. Will delay a bit.
