Honda Mobilio MPV Launched; Priced at Rs 6.49 Lakh

New Delhi

Honda Cars India has finally launched its first-ever MPV - the Mobilio - with its s price ranging from Rs 6.49 lakh to Rs 10.86 lakh. In terms of pricing, the Mobilio is at par with its closest rival - Maruti Ertiga.

First showcased at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo in February, the Honda Mobilio was, without a doubt, one of the most anticipated vehicles of the year. Honda Cars India finally launched the vehicle today with the car's price ranging from Rs 6.49 lakh to Rs 10.86 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). A rather competitive range, I would say. The sporty RS-kit powered model of the MPV is priced at Rs 10. 86 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and will be put up for sale from September, 2014.

Compared to its rivals, the Mobilio with its best-in-class mileage, powerful engine options and generous space, easily edges out competition, which should help Honda garner good sales. Another thing that works in the MPV's favour is its design; despite being an MPV, it manages to look quite good for a 7-seater family car.
