Honda rolls out redesigned Mobilio
HONDA Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) introduces the highly anticipated and refreshed new Mobilio. The bestselling 7-seater now comes with a bolder and sportier exterior, enhanced interior, and upgraded comfort and safety features.
The new Mobilio sports a bolder exterior with its redesigned front fascia characterized by a new front grille and headlights with LED Guide Type Position Lights that highlight Honda’s identity. The 1.5 V CVT and 1.5 E MT variants boast a new Chrome Front Grille complemented by new 15-inch alloy wheels for the 1.5 V CVT variant. The top-of-the-line New Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi variant is made even sportier with its new RS design gloss black grille, and its own new 15-inch RS design alloy wheels.
Inside is a new sophisticated dashboard packed with smart and functional controls. A Blue Illuminated instrument cluster is now incorporated in the 1.5 V CVT and 1.5 E MT variants. A new 7-inch touchscreen AV system with Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming and USB connectivity is also integrated in the 1.5 V CVT variant, together with exclusive black fabric seats and silver trim on its front AC vent panel for a more premium touch.
On the other hand, the new Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi variant further expresses its sporty character in its interior, which now sports black fabric seats with orange stitching and dark metal finish on the door panel armrest and front AC vent panel. This variant is also equipped with more premium upgrades, including a new RS design instrument cluster with orange illumination, and a 7-inch touchscreen AV system with navigation that includes Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming, USB connectivity, and an integrated rear-view camera with sightlines. The Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi variant is also now integrated with smart entry with push-button start.
The new Mobilio retains a spacious cabin designed to comfortably accommodate a family of seven. The second row has 60:40 split folding seats that slide, recline, and features a one-touch fold-to-tumble function to create generous legroom and knee clearance as well as easy ingress and egress from the third row. Meanwhile, the third row has 50:50 split-folding seats that recline and has fold-to-tumble back seats to accommodate different hauling needs.
The new Mobilio is powered by a 1.5-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine that produces 120ps and 145Nm of torque. The engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual (for the E variant) or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) developed under Earth Dreams Technology that delivers a dynamic and fuel efficient driving performance. Also new to the New Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi variant are paddle shifters that provide an even sportier driving experience.
Along with these advanced and functional upgrades, the New Mobilio is equipped with new safety features to ensure utmost safety of all its passengers. All variants are equipped with speed-sensing auto door lock, dual front airbags, Antilock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), G-CON Body structure, and Child Seat Anchor (ISOFIX). For added safety, the 1.5 RS Navi will also be equipped with Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), and Hill Start Assist (HAS)—unique in its segment.
