Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT (2015) vs Honda Jazz 1.5 VX Navi CVT (2018)

Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT (2015) vs Honda Jazz 1.5 VX Navi CVT (2018): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer looking for a practical family vehicle, the Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT is the better choice. It offers a larger body type (MPV) with 2+3+2 seating, accommodating up to seven passengers and more cargo space than the Jazz’s 2+3 layout. The Mobilio also has a slightly longer wheelbase (4398 mm vs 3989 mm) and a more spacious interior for families or group travel. Although the Mobilio is discontinued, its price of ₱982,000 is comparable to the Jazz’s ₱985,000, and both share the same 1.5‑liter engine with 120 PS power and similar torque figures, so performance differences are negligible. The Jazz is a hatchback suited for city driving and offers a slightly lower torque peak (145 Nm @ 4800 rpm vs 4600 rpm) but this has little practical impact. If you need a compact, current model with the same power and a modern hatchback design, choose the Jazz. If you prioritize passenger capacity, cargo space, and can accept a discontinued model, go for the Mobilio. Both come with a 100 000‑km/3‑year warranty and CVT transmission, so the decision hinges on body type and seating needs rather than performance or price.
