The Honda Mobilio is a 7-seater minivan that was in production from 2001 to 2008. It’s related to the Honda Spike which is the 5-seater version that was in production for the same period. The Honda Mobilio is based on the first generation Honda Fit and they share many components. In Kenya, the Honda Mobilio did not achieve widespread success and it was overshadowed by the Toyota Porte, Toyota Rumion and Nissan Cube. It was succeeded by the Honda Freed which is currently showing great potential in this market.

The design is simple and functional with dual sliding doors and large windows. The fuel tank is located under the front seats to free up space.  Safety features include driver and front passenger SRS airbags, Front side airbags, ISOFIX, ABS, EBD and HID headlights.

On the inside, the cabin is roomy and spacious with the large windows providing an excellent view and plenty of natural light.

It comes with two engine options; a 1.5L SOHC VTEC engine and a 1.5-Litre i-DSI engine that are linked to a CVT transmission and available in both 2WD and 4WD.
