Honda Mobilio facelift teased in Indonesia

Honda is working on a facelift of the Mobilio MPV, which has recently been teased in Indonesia. The new Mobilio gets some comprehensive cosmetic updates, though it is expected to be mechanically identical to the current model.

The teaser video reveals that the Mobilio facelift will come with smaller headlamp assemblies, which will be replacing the large, balloon-shaped units found on the model currently on sale. The headlamps also feature LED DRLs on the lower edge. The front grille is wider and gets a prominent chrome bar in the middle, while the bumper has been tweaked to house the angular fog lamp enclosures.

Details about changes to the interiors of the Mobilio facelift haven't surfaced yet. It must be noted that Honda had launched a mildly updated Mobilio in the international markets sometime back, which added an updated dashboard design to the MPV, similar to what is being offered in the new Amaze and Brio facelifts. However, this update hasn't been introduced in India yet.

It remains to be seen whether or not Honda brings the 2017 update of the Mobilio to India. The MPV is currently experiencing a downward trend in its sales figures in the country, as it clocked just 151 unit sales in December 2016, suffering a Year-on-Year (YoY) drop of 21.4%.
