BMW 1 Series Price, Specification Review 2014

Over the past few years, the Indian market has been en client towards, crossovers on Sedans but that does not mean that lime light from the hatch backs has gone away. In fact a few months back, BMW has dropped this bombshell on the Indian roads, the 1 Series. It could be there move to make the Brand more affordable and to create a bench mark when it comes to performance oriented hatch backs. Either way the 1 Series on papers looks very tempting but on the road, well Lets find out.

From the front, the 1 Series can easily be recognized as a BMW, in fact there isn’t much to boost about the design. Typical BMW two grills, long nose and a badge. Don’t really have anything exclusive to offer or even different. The rear is where the story changes, the rear is just remind you the already existing hatch back in the market the Volkswagen Polo, the resemblance is un canny. What could have made it slightly different was is BMW has put racing strips on the Diesel model as well, they are available on the petrol.

Under the hood, the 1 Series is powered with a 2 L Twin turbo Diesel Engine. There is also a petrol engine option which is available in the base version only. The 2 L Motor produces an output power of 114 BHP. The Engine seems punchy especially after the turbo kicks in and the car response very well sporty. Now the cabin of the 1 series is very familiar with some of the other BMW Models like the 3 Series and X1. The quality overall is top merged, no complaints over here. On the design front, it is not sporty but definitely up market and premium. The fronts seats offering good space, very sporty and comfortable in fact if you see my height over here the head room is generous couple of inches here between my head and the sunroof. On the features front, the top model gets BMW’s hi fi system, steering controls, Bluetooth, USB but again still some features are missing. For example there is no SAT NAV, no rear camera and of course no cruise control. How ever the moments you drive the vehicle all these short comings take back seat, the 1 Series is all about to joy.

Driving the 1 Series in around in traffic is also easy, due to its small size it is easy to maneuver away from the crowded roads. To improve efficiency, BMW starts stop system is present here as well. As the engine chunks of automatically when static and when you remove the foot from the bread, the car will be start, of course the system can be switched off manually. There are four driving modes to pick from Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and Eco Pro. On the safety front, it comes with 6 Airbags, ABS and traction control. With this hatchback BMW has tried to catch the hearts and attention of the younger and richer India. They have tried to make the brand BMW more accessible for the buyer. The 1 Series has been in India for over 6 months so we thought why should not ask this younger and richer India what they feel about the accessible BMW hatch which starts at a price point of  20 Lakh ex showroom Delhi.

Lets not loose heart here, the 1 Series still has a lot to offer. Step inside the cabin and the black tone immediately gives you and up market feel. The layout and feature list on this Sports Plus edition is impressive but is no different from other beamers. I i-drive sits in the center. Control and features and every little detail associated with the car. Music system is compatible with CD DVD RADIO USB and Bluetooth. Steering get controls for the phone and stereo system. Its got a two zone air con for the driver and the passenger. It may look like a long car but when you get on to the rear seat then you realize how different it is from the reality. So where the front seats offer you good space and comfort ness, I think where as back a tight fit is. Position of driver’s seat as per my height and you can see there is no knee room at the back. Further the rear air con vent is very high, which completely hampers the knee room and leg room for middle of the passenger. So to be very fare, I think the 1 series is best for 4 adults and 1 kid. In terms of features, you get this rear air con vent again. There is no arm rest again no cup holders. The only good thing is the head room is pretty decent.

 So technically it’s not a very spacious car for five. Another very big disappointment is that even at a price point of 30 Lakhs Ex-Showroom you do not get a spare wheel, you do get a tool kit to fix the puncture and it runs on one flat wheel but there isn’t a spare one. So this is the story of BMW 1 Series, so difficult to say who might want to buy this because if you are looking for a car that comfortable to chauffer driven it then this one definitely is not for you. Before I start going in the conclusion of the 1 Series, I must admit till a few days back this car never really excited me. This is BMW at a lower price for no doubt but there is a catch. The basic models are features less, interiors are cramped, and the looks are sporty but smashy like the A Class. Even at the value front, cars like 3 series, the C Class and the X1, all three after discount gives you better value for money. How ever today after having driven the car for so many days, I must admit once more I know the reasons what customers to buy this car heard about this car in the first place. Its a special purchase its not a practical purchase at all. A Purchase you will do from your heart in that case the 1 Series will keep you very happy. The complimentary goose ones every single day. 

Mercedes GL63AMG Road test review 2014 India

The Indian automotive segment has never been so active that flew of launches across various price bands. In fact I am keep telling my team that you were all lucky to win a decade when the industry witnessing the most exciting and performance oriented models from across the world and I am not just suffering to super cars. Range Rover sport and the Porsche Cyan Turbo has opened up a new segment of emerging super SUV’s in India and latest one to join this segment is Mercedes reply to the British and German offerings. Its call the GL63AMG and comes with an engine that puts out almost 50 % more power then even the Ferrari California. Well stay tune, as we diverse deeper in to the details of this mega SUV today.

While there have million finer details about the GL that I can talk about but lets start the review by discussing the heart of the matter. Something that is surprises in this SUV’s is from its cheaper diesel power assembly. Under the massive hood is an equally massive power plant that is fine built; a twin turbo, 5.5 L petrol unit with 8 cylinder position in a V configuration, this engine puts out over a 550 Bhp of power along with 760 Nm of torque. The put forwarding to prospective the GL63AMG put out 4.5 times of power and almost 4 times a torque as compared to petrol A Class. With and engine like this at your command is just not mistaking punch line on your face but the way the GL63AMG  picks up the speed from lowest of RPM and eating up gaps in traffic and disappearing up view from the other motorists and all these complete by the sweetest exhaust nod we have heard from any SUV’s in India. Brilliant stuff is this.

Of course being an SUV the GL63AMG can also take a fare bit of off roading as well, though we doubt any owner will indulge in endings like these. Raise of the suspensions this thing can think of the most challenging experience some thing that we found out from the diesel siblings last year. It’s only the road by styling that can be early and can be a slight issue on rainy spots and slippery wet snow roads. This engine is made to the AMG’s speeds shift plus 7 lead tronic systems that has 7 gears and 3 transmission modes. There is an automatic, double d cap function as well to enhance the emotional experience and of course driving safely. The three modes get accelerated paddle and shift curve and these are C, S and M. now what you are hitting down the city roads and daring down with extra stretch the GL63AMG is importing stance will give you a more that just give you a handsome of glances. Are media car came with a special kit of AMG as well which usually makes it better over a standard model. Talking about front of the car, a new grill with two glowing chrome lines, a new front bumper with AMG styled eight shift centered eight m, AMG specific daytime running LED’s and new AMG alloy wheels and new rear bumper with quadrille tail pipes but it is large in dimensions with 5.1 meter of length and 1.9 meter in width and 1.8 meter for height you don’t have to honk twice to make other drivers to give you way on the road. It all happens automatically and as you overtake hatchback in sedans you literally tower over them while being cuckooed in a typical Mercedes environment. Talking of environment, the GL63AMG has the exact interior designed in normal GL but of course with lot more features added. Fly in the huge cabin and you have more than enough space to host a small dinner party. It is even enough letter to save the most expensive Sedan being loaded upper and lower section of the instrumentation panel a bet line upholstered in man made black leather. This SUV is blend with full convenient features. Let me take a deep breath for these features out. Electric seat with memory and heated rear seats and both heat and cool front seats, electric mirror with auto dimming, climate control air conditioning and entertainment system with DVD screen, a massive panoramic sunroof, parking camera with sensors that supports a 360 degree view including the top shots, electrically reclining third row seats, 9 air bags, Mercedes tsys sytem, Fraction control, active curve system, down hills revolution, crumple zone impact beams and so on, you also got a night vision assist system which hardly usable in India and if don’t get in to much, you adjust support and massage functions of the front two seats with click of button in its command interface and to get off from morning hangover you can even use the warm function of front two cup holders to keep your super strong coffee hot as you drive to you stud farm or after importing client meeting. The AMG stretch is loaded with Stainless steel door handles with AMG Lettering, AMG Doormat, AMG instrumentation cluster with 11.4 cm TFT multifunction display, AMG main menu including the race time of and of course the 320 KMPH dial. Then there is AMG performer 4 Spoke steering wheel with flat in bottom and AMG bag in the back seat and there is Chrome look electronic key with AMG emblem and stainless steel paddle. The GL63AMG find itself in a jungle of sports. A jungle that has other creatures in the firm of super isolated Sedans, super cars, converted ones and super powerful SUV’s all fighting for space in Rs. 122 crore brackets. The biggest and the most powerful Mercedes offering in India, roam around feeling like it massive rivals jungle and drive it to top in term of sales.

Power and performance, they come at a price and in this case the GL63AMG has a price of Rs. 1.66 Crores Ex showroom Delhi adding approximately 30 Lakhs and the on road price goes to more than 2 Crores Bracket and yet we are complaining. This SUV is completely unique. It will do what other can’t. Eyes catching features, Safety Aids, Comfort zones and of course day time performance that can be convertible and this sounds like a real super car. If you are very deep pocket and looking for super SUV then go ahead and indulge in GL63AMG. 

Skoda Superb Drive in India 2014

As you know that recently we shown you a lot of facelifts, we shown you the facelift of Chevvy Beat, we shown you the face lift of the Nissan Sunny The Ford Fiesta got a face lift and today what I am going to show you is a Superb Facelift and when I say Superb Facelift I don’t mean that facelift is kind of Superb what I mean is that the Skoda Superb has gone through an update.

And now this is the facelift of the Skoda Superb and like any other facelift that we know especially of the Bollywood Celebrities this one is actually quite bull. Skoda has changed the entire look of the car.

This is a brand new bonnet Skoda has done away with a green round logo that all of us for a will update you get a new logo here in the pretuding section of the bonnet which is quite distinctive and very appealing. One of my able friends thinks that this logo has been changed to preventive from Skoda Emblem thefts. Apart from this the Skoda Superb facelift supports brand new innovates. All headlamps with new LED’s which in my opinion is quite stunning. There is a brand new grill but we have seen this in 2014 Octavia it has been carry forward to the Superb which is Skoda’s new design language, there is new bumper design with add in fog lamps, housing is new and of course our favorite definition of lines and designs, chrome has been generously used. Well now to talk of side profile of the car the Skoda Superb still maintains that long look that it always have, there is no design change in the side profile except for the new alloys and there is changes on the rear too and I am glad that the changes are not restricted to just adding a dashing chrome in fact Skoda have done away all look of the car and now if you look at the rear it is brand new. The new set of rear lamps with LED’s, there is a chrome strip at the bottom of the boot gate and Skoda has written out Skoda and Superb very distinctly and actually is quite attractive, complementing this whole new look with new twin exhaust.

Then comes the most important part, the looks department has been ticked. The Superb looks maushy and saucy than the out going model but here is where there is no facelift not even increase of single bhp. It is powered with the same 2 L turbo charged engine. The 2.0 L turbo charged engine comes out with a power of 140 PS and torque of 320 NM. The engine is peppy and one of my favorite diesel engine motors. Now this 2 L motor on the Skoda Superb is actually makes you fall in love with it. It has a decent note, its happy to go fast. Its is mighty to a 7 speed DSG which is Skoda’s direct and shift technology and in fact just when I was saying this line, I went to 4 and then to 5 and you don’t feel the up shift in the gear, that is how smooth this unit it is. The steering is responsive, it has very good feedback, even at higher speeds it in still stands confidence in you which I think is quite phenomenal, over all if you are enthusiast if you will just love to drive your car, you will enjoy every moment of driving this car.The diesel engine is only with DSG and there is no manual option so paddle shifts is what you have make with it.

The petrol engine gets a manual transmission and an automatic one, not just this diesel motor is surprisingly fuel efficient too, for an engine of this size, it promises 17.2 KMPL plus it is so confident on the road, take a sharp cut, corner. Even with the traction of the car feel so planted that the confidence is inspiring for few of its rivals. Now there are a lot of things that go in the favor of the Superb even before this facelift. 1^st thing is that it literally faces very little competition in the market, Honda has discontinued  the Accord, Volkswagen has discontinued the Passat, the little competition that it faces is come in the form of Hyundai Sonata which doesn’t have sell very well and in the form of the Toyota Camry very comfortable car, there is a hybrid version but it only comes in petrol, so the reason behind the popularity of the Skoda Superb, the 1^st reason I think is the only car in its segment 18-24 lakh rs. Bracket which actually offers a Diesel motor no other car offers a Diesel Motor.

Now don’t worry, no magic happened here, I am on the rear seat just to justify my reasoning that I was in the middle off, my editor is driving the car so we all are in safe hands. So now to tell the 2^nd reason why you should buy this Skoda Superb, look at the space here, there is so much room in this car that it is actually unwilly, the one of the finest and most comfortable rear seats that you can be in. Skoda has taken care of the comfort and convenience of the rear seat passenger too, which in most case going to be the owner of the car, you get side curtains here which I think is very need touch, on the center here there you don’t get no ac vents feature, you just get a clock, a 12 w charge and some space of storage, the ac vents are in the B Pillar which I think a very need touch again and you get ac vents under the front seats, my legs are short to reach there because of this huge space, in the arm rest how ever you only get the cup holders and nothing else no audio controls, you get a little bit of storage when you lift this but what Skoda has done is, it has given access to boot from the rest.

The facelift doesn’t end here; there are changes in the cabin as well. Let me show you changes as I take a break. Well there is all new steering wheel design and rest all is the same. This 6.5 inch screen for audio, telephone and music controls, rear sensor display while reversing, no rear camera and that is disappointing. The quality of the plastic and wooden inserts is really good and looks good. The front dash has smooth flow and its easy on the eyes. The dials gets chrome around and can be easily readable. There are enough cuppy holds in the car though. No matter how many small things you carry, you will get compartment for it all.

Now after this review, I must say that in the 18-24 lakh rupees bracket, Skoda Superb is the now one of the finest purchases that you can make. For three reasons: - very very comfortable rear seats, it an absolute pleasure to drive and now the car actualy looks very good. So now yes this facelift can prove to be what the company has been waiting to boost their sales. That’s the take on the 2014 facelift of Skoda Superb.

Toyota Innova Vs Honda Mobilio Vs Maruti Ertiga

Honda Mobilio

Well they say there is a car for everyone, some like the cars fast, some like them fuel efficient, some like them spacious and some like them with lots of gadgets but actually I think when we got out buying a car we want to mix of it all. This is exactly what Honda is understood, worked in this mindset and come out with the Honda Mobilio. Honda’s first MPV offering in the country there is lot of anticipation around this car, people have been waiting like all of us look during the Auto Expo and since then this car has been in NEWS for various reasons. Today we around to drive it, this is a 1.5 L diesel and we will tell you how good it is on the road.

It is a Honda, from the front, from the side and from the rear. Honda is rarely goes wrong with the design and the Mobilio is just another example of that. There aren’t many rather any MPV’s that can look as good as the Mobilio in the market. Front view reminds you of the Brio and the Amaze but Honda has tweak the design in a little, the bumper design is sportier and the grill design is chunkier, Mobilio comes with Halogen headlamps with not LED’s, Fog Lamps are also on the “V” or the “Top” Grid only. Move to side and the two lines on the top and the rear of the door add to the styling. The roof of the Mobilio does not slant at the rear which allows a good head space for third row passengers and Honda has left no stone and turn with the styling. The rear is as smart and appealing as front, the tails and boot garnish given neat look to the rear, there is also branding of grade and the engine at rear. Honda has introduced this whole new golden color in this MPV, there are five other colors to choose from.

Well this is a seven seater and of course everybody wants to know how much space is there on the third row and how comfortable the seats are and this is exactly I will go find out. Good thing Honda done is this one touch seat fold, you don’t really have to put in to a lot of effort and the entry in to third row is quite easy. Well now the third row in Mobilio is actually quite comfortable it just feel a little low but you know the seats are recline able so you can adjust your seats and make room for yourself, the knee room is good enough which is going to be an advantage if there is a tall passenger sitting in the third row. The seats of the Mobilio seem low and have quite thin infect there is a clear lack of under thigh support though the seats are recline able. The second row seats can be move forward and backward but this feature is available only in the “TOP” or “V” grade. The second row seats are fixed in the “E” and “S” variant. Large windows on the second and third row give the cabin a more airy feel and now we come to the front seat. The front dash lay out is the same as the Brio and Amaze. The color scheme, layout and feature and almost same as any other Honda but as the cabin disappoint you the engine gives a peak smile on the owner’s face.

Now the Mobilio diesel is also powered with a 1.5 L i-dtec engine that Honda has got in the first with the Amaze and then with the City, so obviously they all familiar with the engine here, it’s the same power output 100 PS of power and 200 NM of torque so the engine has been known for its fuel efficiency for the record, in the Mobilio it promises the fuel efficiency of 24.2 Kmpl. The car is nimble and the spike, it’s 4386 MM of total length, it is very easy to cut and corner in traffic. This is mainly because of very accurate well behaved steering unit in the Mobilio. Another thing about this engine is the drivability of this engine, it’s a wonderful engine to drive in, you just put it in 3^rd gear and you are going in the city and you have to suddenly break and your speed drops then you don’t have to really shift the gear, the engine picks up beautifully, that’s how the drivable this engine is and when you are on the highway and you really feel like leaving the car you, then also the engine let to support you, so this engine has both sides to it, it is fuel efficient which is good for the city and at the same time its wonderful on the highway. Mobilio handles like a pro 2. With diesel Mobilio comes with ABS as standard and that adds to the stability factor. It is big in size but confidence of the car would rise on the road is in traffic. Third row passengers can also enjoy a good ride in the car without hitting their head to the roof. Mobilio has a lot of buzz around in the market, curious on lookers in the expo, many queries and long list of people waiting for it to be launched. That’s the lime light but when you hit the real world is when you realize it is  in smooth sailing after all because.

Maruti  Ertiga

The Ertiga has been on the market for a while now and in that time it gains a lot in its sale. First of all, it’s a Maruti, 2^nd, its spacious, 3^rd, its comfortable and the 4^th, its more affordable than the Mobilio. But we are not talking about near Rs. 20000 or Rs. 30000 price gap but the sub stencils Rs. 1.37 lac difference between the top end model of these cars and this is when we haven’t even factor in the discounts been offered by Maruti Suzuki.
                                   

Honda Mobilio Vs  Maruti  Ertiga

Well I agree with what Abhishek is saying that the ZDI Ertiga is actually the 1.37 lac cheaper than the “V” Grade of the Mobilio and that is lot money but Honda has his premium ness attached and has his aspiration value attached and that is why a customer an Indian car buyer doesn’t mind paying that extra sum just to own the brand.

Tested one 2 one the Mobilio has over the Ertiga.

                                         
Maruti  Ertiga

The Ertiga diesel is powered by the same 1.3 L Multi Jet diesel engine, and this stay tuned, Ertiga gives a 90 PS of power @ 4000 RPM and 200 NM of torque @ 1750 RPM.

                       

Honda Mobilio Vs  Maruti  Ertiga

Now agree that what Abhishek has in the Ertiga, a multijet 1.3 L diesel is the country’s make diesel engine, nice and punchy but let me tell you my engine has more power, its got 100 PS of power, its more power than the Ertiga. Torque is the same, but at the same time it is more fuel efficient than the Ertiga, this promises a fuel economy of 24.2 KMPL.

While both the Ertiga and Mobilio offers similar equipments, I tell you where the Ertiga is the real winner, it’s the seats, and they offer better cushioning, better thigh support for both 2^nd row and 3^rd row of seat occupants. Also the 2^nd row can be slide forward to make more leg room for 3^rd row occupants, a feature that is only available in top end “V” Grade of Honda Mobilio. Well the seats of the Ertiga are better and more comfortable but what I had here is the boot that can fit the luggage of the family when traveling. The Honda Mobilio has the boot space of 223 Litres whereas the Ertiga has 135 Litres with third row up. Coming back to Mobilio if you dropped the third row down, it becomes a flat bed and the boot space capacity increases to 521 Litres which is again more than the Ertiga.

I agree that the Mobilio has more boot space than the Ertiga but the Ertiga is brand Maruti and whether you are living in Metro or in a village far extra part of the country the accessibility is much more and let’s not forget that the cost of maintaining Ertiga is going to be less than all of its rivals.

Yes I agree with the final bit of Abhishek’s argument but I still have the last cut which is the looks, park the cars together and the design of the Ertiga does seem plain in front of the Mobilio. Mobilio, where it’s sharp cuts and lines and dynamic profile is better looking than the Ertiga. Mobilio is 121 MM longer than the Ertiga also but Ertiga at the same times, 12 MM wider and 82 MM taller than the Mobilio. Not just this, Ertiga’s 88 MM longer in the wheelbase than the Mobilio too, Despite this, the Mobilio looks just tall, comfortable and the roomy as the Ertiga. But before we move further, here is a quick comparison of features too.

The Ertiga and Mobilio are so closely match that there it is a tough call to make but the obstacles of the Mobilio do not end here, Obstacle No. 2 is going to make this compare even more difficult.

                                     
Toyota Innova

Well I am not gonna been in the Innova comparison today just because this vehicle has its own base in the segment, it is a best seller, it sales like hot cakes. In fact there is a reason why Innova likes by both commercial operators and private buyers. Yes it is an expensive vehicle but again Honda has a Mobilio RS Diesel want to sell at almost 11 Lac rs. Ex showroom Delhi more or so in the same bag is Innova and this is a reason we have this fun in the comparison today.

Toyota Innova, It’s the MUV, that changed the definitions of the MUV’s in the country. It was first launched in 2005 and got facelifts in 2009, 2012 and 2013. Innova is such a popular vehicle that never has the facelift major one. It’s only in 2013 that Toyota introduces this new design language and play around with the look of it. Innova is very popular in its MUV segment with both 7 and 8 seater options. The versatility of the Innova is what does add to its popularity.

Toyota Innova  Vs  Honda Mobilio   Vs    Maruti  Ertiga

Now the Innova is far more senses in MPV compared to the Ertiga and the Mobilio. In spite the price difference between Innova and the other two MPV’s is massive. For example, while the base Ertiga is 1 lakh cheaper than the base Mobilio after discount and the base Mobilio is 2 lakh cheaper than the Innova .off course is paying is so much  for money, this is far spacious, far bigger MPV that is more comfortable for the family for the long journeys. Now another strongest point in the Innova is the diesel motor, this 2.5 L D4D diesel engine is known for its reliable nature, in fact it related to commercial peoples, they will tell you how the Innova have done flawlessly lakhs of kilometers and this could be a piece of mind starter for private buyers.

Well I know that bunny’s first argument for the Innova going to be that the Innova offers a bigger engine but I am here to put things in a little bit of prospective, Innova does have a bigger 2.5 L engine but the Honda Mobilio with a 1.5 L engine offers as much power in fact the Innova only offers 102 PS Power which is 2 PS more what the Mobilio offers and because of the bigger diesel engine that the Innova has, it has an AIRE tested economy of 12.99 KMPL where as the Mobilio promises 24.2 KMPL.

Now we are driving the top end ZX version which comes loaded with gadget and features. Touch screen DVD system here, with a climate control system, a comprehensive driver information display system, a rear camera and of course ABS and EBD are standard as well.

Now this 1.5 i-dtec unit has been carried forward from the  Amaze to the City and then to the Mobilio. It’s the same unit but the good part is that Honda has given it some thought before putting it in to the Mobilio. They have worked on the NBH Levels, cabin is much quitter, if you sit inside in the Amaze you will first notice the amount of engine noise that filters in to cabin, the Mobilio is far quitter in that term, it’s refined, as long as you ran out driving the car really if you are not pushing it to all the way to the red line, the engine seems to do a decent job.

The Innova offers you a unique 2^nd row as compared to the Ertiga and the Mobilio, is the only one to offer you captains seat as option in the 2^nd row and that means these are completely comfortable. Of course you get own arm rest and you can slide the seats and recline them for your own comfort. So as far as the 3^rd row is concerned, I do not want to go there as this can be tight for person like me but idle for children and shorter adults able find this seat comfortable for shorter journeys and this comes in spite of biggest boot in the segment. Main feature is these air vents are separate for last row as well something missing in the Ertiga and Mobilio as well.

The most affordable of the lot is the Ertiga is a people mover, not much in terms of styling and playing but Maruti has got the price just right and its given customers everything they want, the only downside here is that car feel under full load conditions.

The Innova is actually a Hero over here, It’s a car from which other MPV’s inspired to be and market share Innova enjoys is the dream thing for other MPV’s in the same segment. Now as far as the Ertiga is concerned the price has been is so massive that think the competition over here but with the Mobilio the “RS” Version is the one that can actually take the slight below the Innova sales but because of its look. The RS Mobilio is without features like no climate control system, no rear camera or sensors and no high end infotainments systems. On the whole I say is Innova need not worry.

This brings us to the new kid on the block, the Honda Mobilio, the new kid is obviously being more attractive one. Yes Honda has a big game at many many levels but there are problems. At the price point at which the Mobilio has been launched Honda has not offered as many features. ABS and Airbag are available only in the Petrol Top Most Variants, the diesel has gets ABS as standard. Yes Honda, the brand has a charm to itself which is going to be the starring race and the phenomenal diesel engine and fuel economy. So that’s the Mobilio comparison for you this week.
