Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT (2015) vs Ford Focus Sedan 1.5 Titanium with EcoBoost (2016)

Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT (2015) vs Ford Focus Sedan 1.5 Titanium with EcoBoost (2016): which should you buy?

For Filipino buyers, the choice between the Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT (2015) and the Ford Focus Sedan 1.5 Titanium with EcoBoost (2016) hinges on priorities. The Mobilio, at ₱982,000, is more affordable and offers 7-seat capacity (2+3+2 layout), making it ideal for large families. However, it is discontinued, has only 120 PS and 145 Nm from a naturally aspirated engine, and uses a CVT, which may feel less engaging. The Focus, priced at ₱1,088,000, delivers significantly more power (180 PS, 240 Nm) with a turbocharged-like EcoBoost engine (though data says naturally aspirated? Wait, data says 'Naturally Aspirated' but max torque at 1600 rpm suggests turbo; however, strictly from data it's NA) and a 6-speed automatic, offering a sportier drive. It is current in market, but seats only 5 and has a shorter warranty (3 years/100k km same as Mobilio). For daily commuting, the Focus provides better performance and newer features, but the Mobilio's lower price and extra seats suit budget-conscious families. If you can find a well-maintained Mobilio and need 7 seats, choose it; otherwise, the Focus is a more modern, powerful sedan for those prioritizing driving excitement.
