2014 Honda Mobilio India review, test drive

    The Mobilio comes with smart styling, a spacious cabin and strong engines. It strives to be a family car, not just a people mover. Does it succeed?

    VERDICT
     
    Prices start at a reasonably competent Rs 6.49 lakh for the petrol and Rs 7.89 lakh for the diesel version; about Rs 70,000 more than the entry spec petrol and diesel Maruti Ertiga. But at Rs 8.76lakh and Rs 10.86 lakh for top-spec petrol and diesel trims respectively, the Mobilio feels a bit pricey. Can this premium be justified? For many, the smart looks, especially from the side and rear, will be reason enough but the top-spec cars could have done with a bit more equipment. The spacious and airy cabin, decent luggage space, strong engines and well-sorted dynamics can only add to its appeal. 
     
     
     
    Yes, there are flaws, like the basic dashboard design and a rearmost seat that isn’t as comfy as we expected, but none of these are really deal breakers. What will make you sign that cheque is the fact that the Mobilio is not just a practical and capable people mover. It feels like a proper family car and has an upmarket look that sets it apart from the others.
