One buys an MPV so that an entire family/group of people can travel together in less fuel, though this wasn't the case before. Earlier, spaciousness used to be the prime concern for buyers, but cars like the Ertiga gave them an opportunity to own a car that is both spacious and fuel efficient. So, now when Mobilio has been claimed to be the most fuel efficient MPV in the country, people might prefer that over the other two.
In this area, the Mobilio outshines both the Ertiga and Innova, thanks to the highly frugal 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel unit. The Mobilo's 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine returns the best-in-class mileage of 24.2Km/l (ARAI certified). The Ertiga with its 1.3-litre multijet engine too is quite impressive with an ARAI certified mileage of 20.77kmpl. The Innova's 2.5-litre common-rail diesel with around 12kmpl is the least efficient of the three. The 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engined model of the MPV too is quite impressive in terms of mileage. It is claimed to return 17.3Km/l.
