Honda Could Launch Mobilio MPV On 23rd July

Honda India had showcased its new MPV bound for India at the 2014 Auto Expo held in New Delhi. The Japanese manufacturer is now expected to launch it Mobilio MPV in India on 23rd July, 2014. The vehicle is being currently delivered to showrooms to show it buyers.

The Japanese manufacturer is also showcasing Mobilio MPV in malls across the country. Honda India is also using Kapil Sharma, an Indian comedian to promote the MPV in his own unique style. Below is the video of their latest Ad campaign. The Mobilio is among the most anticipated vehicle launches of 2014.

The Mobilio MPV is based on Honda's hot hatchback, Brio. The compact sedan Amaze is also based on Brio's platform. Honda has utilised the Brio platform well and has worked in their favour. Honda Mobilio will be available in both petrol as well as in diesel trims.

Honda will provide the Mobilio MPV with its famous i-VTEC petrol 1.5-litre engine. The engine will be coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission and will get an optional CVT gearbox. The engine will be tuned to produce a maximum power of 117 bhp, it will deliver a decent fuel economy of 18 kpl.

The diesel variant by Honda will be powered by its 1.5-litre, i-DTEC mill. It is the same engine that the Japanese manufacturer uses in its City and Amaze vehicles. The diesel mill will be more fuel efficient and delivers 26 kpl. The engine has been tuned to generate 98 bhp.

Honda Mobilio is expected to launch on the 23rd of July, 2014. We expect the Japanese manufacturer to price its vehicle between INR 7,00,000 to INR 9,00,000 ex-showroom. It will take the competition right to the popular Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. Datsun will join the party later with its GO+ MPV. Nissan and Chevrolet also offer its Evalia and Enjoy MPV in India, however, they have not witnessed great success.
