How they fit Mechanically:

The Toyota Innova, among the most sold SUVs, more popular among the politicians, government cars and hotel taxies. The car is powered by 1998cc power engine, has four cylinder petrol engine good for 130 bhp and 18.5 kg and a 2449cc, four cylinder diesel engine with capacity to make 102 bhp and 20.4 kgm.

The car has 1373 cc, four cylinder petrol motor with capacity to produce 93.7 bhp and 13.2 kgm and1248 cc, four cylinder diesel engine with capacity to produce 88.7 bhp and 20.4 kgm.

The Innova has been known for its comfort since its introduction, Ertiga is a bit backward while it comes to competition with Innova. Now we see new upcoming Mobilio to deliver its turn. We can expect good command of space in Mobilio too because Honda has proved its design capability in its small car Brio.

Pricing :

The upcoming Mobilio is expected to start from Rs. 6.2 Lacs for the based version of Petrol model. While Ertiga is selling at 5.8 Lac for base petrol variant. While powerful Innova price starts from Rs. 9.67 Lacs for the base version.

Conclusion :

While seeing all these basic features, it seems that Mobilio will give tough competition to the Maruti Ertiga while Innova will be able to keep itself little aside. But yes, it is for sure that sells number will make difference as Honda fans will have good offer at much lower price.
