Difference between the G and GL Model

Dear all,

May I know the difference between the G and GL models? Just got a 2 handed Freed. Thank you.

Hola bro JM8

First of all, welcome on board,
Secondly, your question is quite common for the newbie having this lovely ride
I would suggest you to spend special time to browse this lovely forums

The differences are in the features, not as main factor (e.g: engine)
G all passenger doors are manual
GL passenger left door automatic, right door manual
(GL from Kah Motor all passenger doors are automatic)

G aicon panel - manual button controller
GL aircon panel - automatic button controller

G side mirror no signal lamp
GL side mirror with signal lamp

G has separate signal lamp indicator on the front body (left right)
GL has no separate signal lamp indicator (as already represented on the side mirror)

The best part, we never look it as differences, but we look it as special features. All functions/features, really indeed bring the unique concept.

So, please join us to the monthly meet up (March 2012)
We shall be very happy to welcome new comer
and also we would like to share the "poisons" we have

Thank you for the enlightenment. Hope to join you for the meetup.

GL climate air con look better.
G Manual air con look cheap.
No offence to anyone driving G model.

If something happens to climax aircon system that will cause you more for servicing.

For G manual aircon are more straight forward for easy maintenance. It's just mechanical controller. There wont be any electronic issue.

Well i would say, about the looks, it's indeed very subjective...

Much better if we see from positive mind that Honda surely will not launch the "cheapo" model just because of the features on board...
They launched Freed in various type (G/GL, 5/7/8 seaters, glass roof, sun roof etc) to optimize and reaching as many as possible the market needs...

Anyway, not everyone has similar taste right?

And further more, if not mistaken, based on general review, there are more G than GL model in Singapore, as initially those PIs who imported Freed to Singapore, they were importing the 1st batch production from Japan (which was G model)

I have ever saw from Indonesian website, where someone modified the G aircon control even much better than GL.
I tried to find it again, but not be able to get it. When i find it, i will surely post the pic.

So for the look, model/type certainly does not represent general judgement for this lovely car.

Just my thought

hmmm... manual aircon or electronic aircon ...

no diff, cos in SG climate die die must have aircon!!!

then again must make sure your aircon is cold,

or no point if its manual or electronic!

looks wise, one is modern ...

whereas the other is retro!

reminds of my first ride ...

a happening car ...

... or should i say alot of happenings in the car?!!!



PS: with current COE prices, can own a car in SG very fortunate liao!
esp if its a FREED, PI or KM!!!

Bro. Indeed We are same famiy
This is my point of view only. That why i choose GL model.
Again No offence to anyone.

As what I observed, G drivers are more handsome than GL's drivers.... Hehehehheeh lol... Joke joke joke.... Just Kidding aside bro.

Hahahaha you win already bro bobby
This time, for sure, no one beat your handsome astronot pic lah bro hahaha...

Thank again Freeders. Are all Freed CVT?

To what i understand,

Freed that manufactured from Japan (imported by PI=paralel importer) yes it is
CVT with gear sequence P R N D L
They have also produce 5AT version, but all PIs here in Singapore, importing the CVT gears.

Freed that manufactured from Indonesia (imported by agent Kah Motor) is automatic 5AT with gear sequence P R N D 2 1

wow that was a fast reply. Thanks. Btw is the remote key with the flip key original? I read the Freed manual and it show the put out key for the remote unit.

Gd morning bro,

Flip key? I think that's after market unit, not the original.

Btw, i assume your Freed is from Japan, you can "read" Japanese? As PI manual book is all in Japanese.

Btw, I have 2 manual books, Japanese and Indonesian, but unfortunately non of them in English

Thanks again. Guess I got the after market one and not the original one. The non remote control key is just the normal key with the honda emblem.

I also got a ICE without the manual. Don't even know what brand and model.

I did not actually read the manual, just looked at the illustrations.

So again, you are using G model i assume, as your normal key does not including auto door (just plain key and honda logo)

i highly suggest you bro, come and join our regular monthly meet up,
All your doubts/questions/concerns about this lovely car will be answered, at least you have additional info to consider.

And it is important to state that we are not expert nor acting as expert, but we simply learn and share the knowledge one another, so that we know many things about Freed.

That's why, regular meet up is healthy and important
