The front kinda looks like an Avanza but to each their owns.
ReplyDeleteJust fit in the 1,5 liter diesel turbo, same engine fitted in the upcoming CRV and the mobilo is going to sell ,the rroute Honda takes is the longest route
ReplyDeleteIt's just beautiful. The previous model had those guppy eyed looks that made it just absolutely fugly with a capital fug. This one however... I just love it. It looks so much better than the Jazz or City, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteDid they just put in the BR-V's interior in there?
ReplyDeleteNow the V trim's at 909k...80k more and you cross into BR-V territory.
Honda's lineup is kind of confusing now.
Exactly what I was thinking when i knew about this model.
DeleteYou're essentially paying the 90k for a higher ride which is just a few inches. Totally unnecessary. The Mobilio's ground clearance is already higher than a sedan.
DeleteExactly my thoughts. Their line-up is in rumble. haha
DeleteIt's much better looking compared to the old. Now it's the brv's turn, the back is very ugly.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the ground clearance of this new Mobilio, and as compared to the Innova?
189mm ground clearance ng new mobilio..
ReplyDeleteI remember the time when Honda fanboys bash Mazda's design for having the same face as well as their dislike for the infotainment screen's placement. But after 2 years, Honda is doing the same.
ReplyDeleteThe mobilio improved in terms of looks but they now look too similar with the BRV. It looks like they are in the same category now.
Kung pareho pa ng Mazda magkamukha na sana yung Accord at Brio other than size
DeleteAny info as to the water wading depth of this new Mobilio?
ReplyDeleteSana they keep it n the low cost segment - competing with Ertiga and Avanza, all below 1M.
ReplyDeleteWith the price it's asking now, lalo na sa V and RS trims, parang wala nang compelling reason... Kaya nang mag BR-V, o kahit Innova, so why bother?
Then this model will die a quiet death.
Anong quiet death na pinakamabentang unit ata ng honda ang mobilio
DeleteA significant number of these model cars have limited production runs and come numbered with a certificate, which as time goes by will make them increase in value. auto transport
