[New Freed] I bought a SAWAKAKI sunshade on Amazon

2026-03-01

I bought a SAWAKAKI front sunshade for Honda's new Freed CROSSTAR.

Last year, I spent my first summer with this sunshade, and since there were no particular issues, I'll give a quick review.

We also introduce how to replace the air conditioner filter. It's cheaper and easier than a dealer, so it's highly recommended.

Well, it's pretty standard, but as expected for a custom design for the new Freed, the size is perfect. There's almost no gap.

Also, recently there are umbrella-type sunshades, but I sometimes see them in parking lots and they're all wrinkled. This product doesn't have that issue, and I like that wrinkles are not noticeable.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but it provides considerable light blocking. It's dark.

The inside is black and the outside is silver, so it's designed to absorb heat on the inside and release it to the outside.

How to Fold / Storage Size

I'll borrow a photo from Amazon, but here's how to fold it.

It was a bit tricky at first, but after about 10 tries, I got used to it, and now it's instantaneous.

When stored in the bag, the diameter is about 40cm.

In our car, we store it in the driver's side door pocket.

That concludes the review of the SAWAKAKI sunshade for the new Freed.

I'm very satisfied, and if it wears out, I'll buy the same one again.
