Fresh off the release of the new Honda Freed in Japan, Mugen, the renowned Japanese tuner, is offering a stylish upgrade for this minivan. This article explores the details of Mugen’s body kit options for both the standard Freed and the adventurous Freed Crosstar, alongside Honda Access’ own dealer-installed accessory packages.
Mugen’s Take on the Freed: From Minivan to Mini-Machine
While the Freed might not be known for its heart-pounding performance, Mugen’s magic touch transforms it into a head-turner. Their focus? The Freed Air variant, which receives a complete aesthetic overhaul inspired by the legendary Honda Type R.
The transformation starts at the front, where an aggressive new bumper with functional intakes flanks a pronounced splitter. Aerodynamic side skirts hug the Freed’s profile, complemented by a sleek black stripe and a fresh set of aftermarket alloy wheels.
The makeover continues at the back with a matching rear bumper extension featuring a sporty diffuser. A roof spoiler and a black decal on the tailgate complete the metamorphosis. Keen observers might also notice a hint of a lowered suspension, though official confirmation is pending.
Crosstar Gets Rugged with Mugen’s Touch
Mugen doesn’t forget the adventurous Freed Crosstar. This crossover sibling receives a more subtle treatment that emphasizes its rugged nature. Black Mugen lettering adorns the hood, while the sides and tailgate are decorated with camouflage decals for a tough-guy aesthetic.
Blacked-out alloy wheels, matching mirror caps, and wind deflectors round out the package, with a rear spoiler adding a touch of sportiness.
Performance? It’s All About Style
While Mugen prioritizes aesthetics these days, don’t expect any power upgrades for the Freed. The showcased models retain the e:HEV powertrain – a 1.5-liter engine paired with dual electric motors – available in both two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations.
