Honda Mobilio Review - Practical People Mover

The Honda Mobilio is a compact MPV designed primarily for Asian markets, offering three rows of seating in a relatively small footprint. Based on the Brio platform, the Mobilio (2014-present) provides affordable family transportation with Honda's reputation for reliability.

Measuring just 4,386mm long, the Mobilio cleverly packages three rows that can accommodate seven passengers in a pinch, though the third row is best suited for children. The tall roof and theater-style seating (each row slightly higher than the one in front) help maximize interior space. With all seats up, cargo space is minimal, but folding the third row creates usable trunk space.

The Mobilio's tall-boy design provides excellent visibility and easy entry/exit, while the light controls make it maneuverable in urban environments. The interior uses durable materials suited to family use, though some surfaces feel budget-oriented. Features vary by market but typically include touchscreen infotainment and basic connectivity options.

While not as refined as larger MPVs, the Mobilio excels at providing maximum practicality in minimal dimensions. Its low running costs, easy drivability, and Honda reliability make it a sensible choice for growing families in crowded urban areas where space is at a premium.
