Honda Mobilio's Demand Goes Through the Roof

There is no denying that Honda Mobilio is quite an important product for both, the Japanese carmaker and the Indian market. The enthusiasm about the car has now translated in to just the kind of numbers Honda had its sight set on. Though, everyone knew that the 7-seater MPV would receive a great response, the carmaker has revealed that it received 85 per cent of bookings for the Mobilio's diesel variant.

Honda accepts it expected big numbers for the diesel; somewhere around 70 per cent, but the market surprised them with the demand for diesel being higher than the company anticipated. With a claimed mileage of 24.2Km/l, the Mobilio's diesel version is the most fuel-efficient vehicle in its league.

The Honda sold 3,365 units in its first month, and this figure is expected to grow further this month. The company has already received more than 14,000 bookings for the MPV since its launch, which lead it to shift Honda City's production to the Tapukara plant in Rajasthan from the Greater Noida plant in order to make way for the Mobilio.

Furthermore, the Honda Mobilio RS, which will be made available in the country next month onwards, is also yet to make its way in to production. As far as the Honda City is concerned, Honda will resume its production on September 5.
