Honda Mobilio Diesel V (O) Updates

Wednesday, 05 July 2017 06:08 PM Honda has officially discontinued the Mobilio in India, including the Diesel V (O) variant, due to poor sales and increasing competition in the MPV segment. The company has removed the model from its official website and has stopped production. I think this move was inevitable given the declining sales figures.

Thursday, 02 March 2017 09:04 AM The Honda Mobilio Diesel V (O) was known for its spacious interior and robust 1.5L i-DTEC engine, producing 99 bhp and 200 Nm of torque. However, its higher price point compared to competitors like the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga made it less appealing to buyers. I believe the pricing strategy was a significant factor in its decline.

Thursday, 12 January 2017 06:30 PM In an effort to revamp the Mobilio, Honda had introduced a facelift in Indonesia, which included cosmetic changes and some feature updates. However, this did not translate to significant sales improvements in India for the Diesel V (O) variant. It seems the updates were not enough to compete with newer models.

Saturday, 10 September 2016 06:53 PM The Mobilio Diesel V (O) came with a range of safety features, including a seat belt warning, engine immobilizer, central locking, and child safety locks. Despite these features, the vehicle failed to gain traction in the market. I think safety features alone were not enough to sway buyers.

Wednesday, 10 September 2014 11:25 PM Honda had launched the Mobilio with great fanfare in July 2014, and it initially saw strong sales, even topping the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga in August 2014. However, the Diesel V (O) variants sales gradually declined over the years. Its clear that initial success did not sustain.

Friday, 20 June 2014 11:09 AM The Mobilio Diesel V (O) had a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters and offered a mileage of 24.2 kmpl, which was competitive in its segment. However, other factors such as pricing and competition from newer models impacted its sales. I think the fuel efficiency was one of its stronger points.

Thursday, 15 May 2014 05:54 PM The Honda Mobilio Diesel V (O) was part of a lineup that included various trim levels, each with its own set of features. The V (O) was one of the top models, offering additional features like remote central locking and a more premium interior. Despite this, it failed to attract long-term buyers.

Thursday, 10 April 2014 09:24 AM When launched, the Mobilio Diesel V (O) was praised for its spacious cabin and the Man maximum, machine minimum philosophy, which emphasized passenger comfort. However, over time, the lack of significant updates and competitive pricing led to its decline. I believe the initial design was a strong point, but it wasnt enough.

Saturday, 15 March 2014 06:44 PM The Honda Mobilio Diesel V (O) was built on the extended Brio platform, offering a 7-seater configuration and a ground clearance of 189 mm. While these specs were appealing, they were not enough to sustain market interest. It seems the market preferences shifted towards other options.

Thursday, 20 February 2014 06:16 AM Honda had placed significant bets on the Mobilio, including the Diesel V (O) variant, to compete with the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Toyota Innova. However, the vehicles higher pricing and lack of periodic updates led to its eventual discontinuation. I think Honda underestimated the competition.
