Honda Mobilio Diesel RS Updates

Wednesday, 05 July 2017 07:06 AM The Honda Mobilio Diesel RS, known for its sleek design and robust engine, has been off the market in India since its discontinuation in 2017. The decision was made due to poor sales and stiff competition from other MPVs like the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. I think this was a wise move by Honda to focus on more profitable models.

Tuesday, 20 June 2017 01:55 PM In its final days on the Indian market, the Honda Mobilio Diesel RS was priced around Rs. 11.87 lakh, making it a premium option in the MPV segment. It featured projector headlamps, alloy wheels, and a powerful 1498 cc diesel engine. The pricing, however, was a significant factor in its declining sales.

Thursday, 02 March 2017 11:35 PM Hondas decision to discontinue the Mobilio in India was also influenced by the upcoming launch of the BR-V, which was seen as a more promising model for the market. The BR-V offered a mix of SUV-like features and MPV functionality, making it a more attractive option for consumers. I believe this strategic shift was necessary for Honda to stay competitive.

Friday, 13 January 2017 12:57 AM The Mobilio Diesel RS had several convenience features, including electrically foldable and adjustable ORVMs, power windows, and a manual air conditioner. These features, however, were not enough to overcome the pricing and competition challenges it faced in the Indian market.

Friday, 02 January 2015 06:01 AM Despite its discontinuation, the Honda Mobilio Diesel RS remains a notable model in Hondas history in India, known for its blend of style, comfort, and performance. I think it was an important step for Honda in exploring the MPV segment, even if it didnt achieve long-term success.

Wednesday, 10 September 2014 12:22 PM The Mobilio Diesel RS was part of Hondas strategy to compete directly with the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. Despite its initial success, with sales topping the Ertiga in August 2014, it eventually lost ground due to the Ertigas updates and competitive pricing. I believe the Mobilios design and features were not enough to sustain long-term market interest.

Wednesday, 23 July 2014 04:41 PM The Honda Mobilio Diesel RS was launched in India in July 2014, built on the extended Brio platform. It offered a spacious cabin, good fuel efficiency, and a comfortable ride. Initially, it received a positive response, but sales dwindled over time due to various market factors. I think the Mobilios initial success was a testament to Hondas engineering prowess.

Wednesday, 23 July 2014 09:08 AM The Mobilio Diesel RS featured a 1498 cc iDTEC diesel engine, producing 98 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque. It also came with safety features like dual front airbags and ABS, making it a reliable choice for family transportation. Despite these features, it failed to maintain a strong market presence.

Wednesday, 23 July 2014 11:06 PM The Honda Mobilio Diesel RS had a manual transmission with a 5-speed gearbox and offered a fuel efficiency of 24.2 kmpl. Its ground clearance of 185 mm and spacious interior made it suitable for both urban and occasional long journeys. However, the rising competition and pricing issues led to its decline.

Friday, 20 June 2014 10:35 PM Honda introduced the Mobilio RS variant in Indonesia, which later influenced the Indian market. This variant came with cosmetic upgrades such as revised alloy wheels, chrome door handles, and a tail gate spoiler, enhancing its appeal. However, these updates did not significantly boost sales in India.
