Honda Mobilio S Updates

Wednesday, 05 July 2017 11:02 PM Honda has officially discontinued the Honda Mobilio in India due to poor sales and increasing competition in the MPV segment. The vehicle is no longer listed on Hondas official website, and sales have been consistently low. I think this move was inevitable given the stiff competition from other MPVs like the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.

Thursday, 02 March 2017 11:18 PM The Mobilios sales continued to sag, with Honda registering only 441 units in January and 226 units in February of 2017. This significant drop in sales was a clear indicator of the vehicles declining popularity. I think the lack of updates and competitive pricing played a big role here.

Thursday, 02 March 2017 01:22 PM The introduction of new competitors like the Datsun Go+ and the updated Maruti Suzuki Ertiga further eroded the Mobilios market share. These new models offered competitive pricing and updated features, making the Mobilio less appealing to buyers.

Friday, 03 February 2017 08:51 PM The discontinuation of the Honda Mobilio in India was also influenced by the companys strategy to re-enter the SUV segment and focus on premium products. This shift in strategy made the Mobilio less of a priority for Honda.

Thursday, 12 January 2017 07:32 AM In early 2017, Honda revealed a facelifted version of the Mobilio, but it was not introduced in the Indian market. This update included several cosmetic changes and was launched in Indonesia. It seems Honda decided not to bring this updated version to India, possibly due to the already declining sales.

Wednesday, 03 February 2016 12:50 PM Hondas decision to focus on other models, such as the BR-V, also impacted the Mobilios sales. The BR-V, launched at the Delhi Auto Expo 2016, was seen as a more promising vehicle in the market, leading to reduced emphasis on the Mobilio.

Friday, 02 January 2015 02:20 PM When the Honda Mobilio was first introduced, it was built on an extended version of the Brio platform, following Hondas Man maximum, machine minimum philosophy to offer a spacious cabin. This approach was praised, but it wasnt enough to sustain long-term sales.

Thursday, 11 September 2014 12:37 AM Despite its initial success, the Honda Mobilio faced significant criticism for being overpriced compared to its competitors. The vehicle, although spacious and equipped with a good diesel engine, failed to attract buyers due to its premium pricing. I believe pricing was a crucial factor in its decline.

Wednesday, 10 September 2014 11:40 PM The Honda Mobilio was launched in India on July 23, 2014, and it initially received a strong response, even topping the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga in sales for August 2014. However, this momentum was short-lived as sales began to decline over time.

Friday, 20 June 2014 10:23 AM The Mobilios RS version, which was introduced to boost sales, did not have the desired impact. Despite offering additional features and a sportier look, the RS version failed to attract significant buyer interest. I think the RS version came a bit too late to make a difference.
