Country's most awaited MPV Mobilio from Honda is due for launch next month. Production for Mobilio MPV was started a while ago at the company's facility based in Greater Noida. First glimpse of yet to be launched Mobilio was seen at the Auto Expo event. The launch shall also be a milestone event for Honda, as the car-maker shall venture into this MPV segment which has been left untouched for a while.
Honda Mobilio MPV shall be available in Petrol as well as Diesel variants. The petrol version shall be powered by 1.5 Liter petrol engine. The diesel variant also gets a 1.5 Liter turbo diesel engine. Both the engines have been mated to 5 Speed manual gearbox. Based on unofficial reports, the Mobilio MUV is expected to deliver a fuel efficiency of about 25.8 kmpl. Details on the pricing aspect has not been revealed for now and may only be known post its launch in the country.
Mobilio’s extended dimensions are its USP, unlike most of its rivals that are categorized under the compact segment. The MPV is going to be literally huge with a length of 4,390 mm, width of 1680 mm and height of 1610 mm. A large wheelbase of 2650 mm will allow ample space for the passengers sitting at rear. Ground clearance of 185 mm will enable the driver to maneuver effortlessly through the tricky Indian roads.
The interiors seems have been well thought by Honda. The lower portion of the instrument panel has been reduced and the seats carry a concave design to deliver maximum leg room. The interior is quite spacious and carries the rich Honda feel. On the exterior front, the Mobilio MPV carries sharp contours and looks decent yet classy. The window for the last row passengers looks stylish and attention grabbing. The higher end version of this MPV gets a roof mounted spoiler and stylish reflectors placed at the base of the door.
Honda cars are known to be styled meticulously and are also equipped well. Going by Honda’s tradition, the new Mobilio MPV is also expected to be inherited with the forenamed traits. In a bid to overpower its closest rival, Ertiga, Honda is working on making the third row more comfortable for the occupants.
