Honda Mobilio has been launched and now it’s time for the masses to react upon this new offer from Japanese automaker.
But there is another Indo-Japanese designed vehicle standing in front of it and its none other than Maruti Ertiga.

Exteriors
Honda has always done unique in its cars. We have seen before, the launch of Brio, Honda Amaze and the new City sedan which have been successful running in the market.
Mobilio inherits the same solid groundwork plus some new elements which it something calls as “EXCITING H DESIGN”.
The concept has been broken down in three elements High Tech, High Tension and High Touch which can be seen inside out.

Exteriors
The first and foremost advantage of choosing Mobilio over Ertiga is the style and robustness. The front fascia not only looks muscular but also eye catching with nice-looking chrome bar and the swept back headlamps.
The front bumpers look more urbane with sleek looking air dam and fog light consoles. Mobilio has less boxy design that also makes the ground clearance better.

Exteriors
The floating roof of the car is well executed that shows the aerodynamic attitude not seen in any of the rivals while the 15-inch alloy wheels adds more to the sporty stance.
In similar vein, the rear portion shows the perfect balance of style with lot of chrome work, high intensity taillights, courtesy lamps and standard LED high mounted stop lamp.

Interiors
Interiors are the second most important aspect of choosing a car and Mobilio scores well in this part too.
The dimensions speak the advantage over Ertiga which measures 4386mm long, 1683mm wide and 1603mm high. It might look inferior on paper but in real, it is more spacious than Ertiga.

Interiors
It is because it follows a new design philosophy ‘Man Maximum Machine Minimum’ offering plenty of roominess with comfortable seating arrangement in a 2+3+2 layout.
Furthermore, the second row 60:40 split gives more luggage space.
Though it has replicated the interior elements from sibling Brio and Amaze, but the engineers have maintained a unique identity of this car when it comes to cabin design.

Powertrain
Honda has successfully tested its cars running on diesel engine; Amaze and City are clear examples of it. Mobilio comes with both the powertrains which are more powerful than Ertiga.
The diesel variant employs the same 1.5L i-DTEC engine that produces 98bhp and 200Nm of torque while the petrol mill consists of 1.5L 4-cylinder i-VTEC engine developing 117bhp and 145Nm of torque. Both the engine line-up comes paired with 5-speed manual transmission system.

The diesel variant of Mobilio returns 24.2kmpl which not only beats Ertiga but also grabs the top spot in the segment.
On the other hand, the petrol variant does not disappoint the power hungry folks either; it also tops the chart delivering 17.3kmpl.
