Chevrolet Cruze 1.8 LS AT (2015) vs Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT (2015)

Chevrolet Cruze 1.8 LS AT (2015) vs Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT (2015): which should you buy?

Both the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze 1.8 LS AT and the 2015 Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT sit in the same price band, with the Cruze at ₱963,888 and the Mobilio slightly higher at ₱982,000. The Cruze is a compact sedan (C‑segment) offering a longer wheelbase (4597 mm vs 4398 mm) and a sportier powertrain: a 1.8‑litre inline‑4 delivering 141 PS and 175 Nm, paired with a 6‑speed automatic, which translates to stronger acceleration and higher top‑end power than the Mobilio’s 1.5‑litre i‑VTEC engine that makes 120 PS and 145 Nm and is mated to a CVT. If outright performance and a traditional sedan feel are priorities—such as for city commuters who enjoy a more engaging drive—the Cruze is the better pick. Conversely, the Mobilio is a five‑door MPV with a 2+3+2 seating layout, giving it a clear advantage in passenger capacity and cargo flexibility, making it suited for larger families or those needing occasional extra seats. Both share the same 3‑year/100,000 km warranty and front‑wheel‑drive layout, but the Cruze’s higher power and longer body favor drivers who value speed and a sedan’s styling, while the Mobilio’s practicality and extra doors favor families and utility‑focused buyers.
