I will have to check this out too
My initial take is that 2-2-2 is the "comfortable seating arrangement"...
Also, interested in the ride height, and how it compares with the rest of the pack.

May nakita kong Mobilio for test drive last week sa Autofocus (MOA open parking). Bigger than I expected! As mentioned above, mas maliit lang ng konti sa Innova. Pero parang sedan level lang (ata) yung ground clearance kasi medyo mababa sya.
salamat! I've been waiting for this para ma compare lang with the ford ecosport. Ilang buwan ko na balak bumili ng ecosport but the DCT transmission ng Ford is a deal breaker. Of course, magkaiba sila (mobilio vs ecosport) ng segment and features pero in terms of practicality parang mas ok sila than a regular sedan. Especially if it is a second or a family car.
Medyo kakaiba lang yung headrest ng front row ng mobilio. Sa pictures from other asian countries parang 1 piece ang headrest and seat. Ganun din kaya dito?
Nice at nilabas na ng Honda ito dito.. I've been contemplating on getting Ertiga by end of the year.. and now, mukhang ito na kunin namin.... mas mahal nga lang sya sa ertiga.. ertiga matipid, eto na lang tanong dito so mobilio?? yung FC? sa mga india sites ba na matagal na rin ito, ano fc ng mobilio? vs ertiga?
OT: Toyota's response could not be that far away....
Now, that's competition......
So, for "7-seaters" - we have Spin, Ertiga, "Avanza" and now Mobilio.....

Wag mo daanin sa Fc boss. Test drive mo then go for the one nas mas ok sayo ang handling at ride quality.

Top gear just released a nice video preview of the Mobilio c/o boss Niky. If they would only hint on how's the FC on city driving... 😄 My mom liked it upon seeing it.
Age of Mobilio: Sneak peek at Honda’s sub-P1M MPV | Motioncars
MANILA, Philippines–Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) is running faster than the company’s Formula One team these days. Not content at having launched the country’s best MPV, the all-new Odyssey, HCPI has launched a second, cheaper minivan that aims squarely at the heart of the market, where the Toyota Innova reigns supreme.
What it is: The Mobilio is a seven-seat vehicle billed as Honda’s multipurpose utility vehicle. Honda aims to surpass other MPVs with better value and more features, as well as a sportier design and driving feel.
Design: Honda’s design target was a “Progressive Private Jetliner” with modern styling, spacious cabin and comfortable sedan-like ride. The front looks similar to the new Honda Brio, and indeed the two reportedly share a platform. It is certainly not a boxy MPV.
The Mobilio shares the friendly look of the Brio, with bug-eyed headlamps flanking a small grille. The side features tall glass that follows a lightning bolt beltline, similar to that on the previous Odyssey. The lightning bolt design allows the second and third row to have larger windows.
The rear pillar is partially blacked out to achieve a floating roof effect. A roof spoiler and a hatch that opens all the way to the bottom of the bumper are the main styling points at the rear.
Mobilio measures 4,386 millimeters long, 1,683 mm wide, and 1,603 mm tall—quite small compared to the 4,830 mm x 1,820 mm Odyssey. It’s also smaller than the Innova, which measures 4,585 mm long and 1,775 mm wide.
It does have a long wheelbase relative to its overall length, at 2,652 mm, compared to the Odyssey’s 2,900 mm and Innova’s 2,750 mm.
Honda unabashedly brands the top Mobilio variant as an RS, which stands for “road sailing.” RS is a sporting variant in line with the Si and Type R branding.
The Mobilio RS gets a different front grille and bumper, different rear bumper, distinct 15-inch alloys, side sill garnish, rear spoiler and tailpipe finisher.
Engine and transmission: Mobilio is powered by a 1.5-liter iVTEC engine. The inline-four-cylinder engine produces 118.36 HP and 145 Nm. Transmission choices are a five-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission.
A CVT eliminates shift shock and can help keep the engine at its most efficient speed, benefiting both performance and fuel efficiency.
Interior: Honda promises “prime comfort” for the Mobilio, following its “Man Maximum, Machine Minimum” standard. The second row bench seat can split 60:40, and can recline, fold and tumble, as well as slide forward 90 mm for easier access to the third row. The third row splits 50:50 and can fold and tumble to increase cargo area.
In front of the driver are triple analog meters with white and blue illumination. Silver trim enhances the cabin appearance. At the center is a 7-inch touchscreen audio unit with navigation provided by one of the best systems, Garmin.
The head unit features Bluetooth audio and phone connectivity, CD/DVD drive for the older folks, and USB and Aux ports. A bigger 2-DIN unit with similar connectivity features is in the V variant.
Safety features: The Mobilio comes with antilock braking (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), seatbelt reminder, Isofix child seat mounting and dual SRS airbags.
Pricing and colors: With the Odyssey occupying the premium end of the market at about P2.3 million, the Mobilio slots in way below, with a base price of around P800,000, and all models below P1 million. The variants are: 1.5 E MT, P807,000; 1.5 V CVT, P877,000; 1.5 RS Navi CVT, P967,000; and 1.5 RS Navi CVT, white orchid pearl, P987,000.
The all-new Mobilio is offered in five colors: alabaster silver metallic (all variants), taffeta white (V CVT and E MT), crystal black pearl (RS Navi CVT and V CVT), sunset orange (exclusive to RS Navi CVT only), and white orchid pearl (exclusive to RS Navi CVT only).
Utility Modulo packages are available. Utility package 1 includes Modulo door visor, trunk tray, body cover, seat back utility box, and seat back holder. Utility package 2 includes genuine door visor, cargo storage, seat back holder, angle adjustment kit, table holder and step side garnish.
With the Mobilio, Honda Philippines provides what could be the ultimate dream car for the Filipino consumer: a safer, sportier seven-seater family vehicle that’s still relatively affordable.
From the short drive, seems like city economy will be similar the the City 1.5 CVT (if you're only carrying two or three passengers). The Mobilio feels like it only weighs a bit more than the City, and the CVT turns at very low rpms at highway speeds.
Hmm... internet says curb weight is around 1,240 kg+
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
and honda always price their cars higher than the competition. karamihan loyal customers nalang na iwan sa kanila. if you go value for money? no to honda
Babawiin ko sinabi ko na isa to sa pinakapanget na nilaunch na oto sa pinas. Tolerable naman pala. Yung RS lang talaga yung panget with that grille. Yung likod kinuha yung makantong ilaw ng previous gen city. Sagwa lang ng side view, parang yung sa odyssey na may bumaling line sa 2nd row door/window.

Based on it. Parehong diesel and not gas engine ang ginamit nila sa report.
Yes. Pero may ARAI rating yung i-vtec.
Yung gas ertiga naman 16kpl

Anyways, real life driving is very different though.
In my case, nasa 11.58kpl ball park for mixed driving ako with my 900+km Ertiga. Antayin ko pa siguro maka 5000km yan bago ko ibirit ng husto.
I saw the mobilio at honda alabang. I thought it will look like the brio which is undeniably unpretty but it looks better in person.
