Honda recently launched their débutante MPV Mobilio on July 23 and the company has started taking the bookings of the MPV just couple of weeks ago. Honda sold 3,365 units of Mobilio in its first month! The Honda MPV has created a lot buzz lately with its affordable pricing being a premium offering compared to Ertiga. The sportier looking RS diesel variant will give a tough tiff to the Toyota Innova which is a feature rich car. The RS compared to Innova misses out only on the automatic air conditioning but contrary to this it gets projector headlamps and day-time-running-LEDs, upgraded infotainment system, etc.
