The Honda Mobilio has been launched in India at a price of between Rs. 6.49 - 10.86 lakhs( ex-Delhi) .
What you’ll like:
• Great choice of engines. Both - the diesel & petrol - are fast and fuel-efficient
• Suspension offers compliant ride quality & neutral handling. 189 mm of ground clearance is a big plus
• Light controls, slick gearshift and easy maneuverability for the city. Effortless to drive
• 1st & 2nd row of seats have ample leg & headroom. Middle row beats most C2 segment sedans
• 3rd-row access is easier than in the Ertiga. 3rd row fold-down doesn’t affect 2nd row space( like the Ertiga)
• Practical 223 liter boot with all seats up. 521 liters of capacity with the last row folded away
• Honda’s reliability & fuss-free ownership experiences
What you won’t:
• Low 3rd-row seat is best for kids or occasional usage only. This isn’t a full time 7-seater
• Noticeably more expensive than the Maruti Ertiga
• The Brio’s unconventional dashboard & interior design are too basic for this class of car
• Front styling is identical to its smaller siblings. Face should have been differentiated
• i-DTEC isn’t as refined or high-rpm friendly as the Ertiga diesel. Also, overall NVH insulation is poor
• Brio-level cost cutting doesn’t work at this price( thin sheet metal, slim seats, uneven shut lines, missing insulation & cladding)
• Many practical features missing( seatbelt height adjustment, adjustable front neck restraints, auto-locking doors, bluetooth connectivity, full MID etc.)
