Second generation (DD4/5; 2014)
The Mobilio nameplate was revived as an MPV model based on the Brio platform, designed mainly for the Indonesian market. Developed by Honda R&D Asia Pacific,[8][9] it was first unveiled as a prototype model at the 21st Indonesia International Motor Show on 19 September 2013. Production of the Mobilio began on 15 January 2014 at Honda Prospect Motor's Karawang plant and sales began on 25 January 2014 in Indonesia. Trim levels offered were S, E, E Prestige and RS (since June 2014) with either a 5-speed manual or a CVT (E, E Prestige and RS only) transmission. The second generation Mobilio is powered by either the 1.5 L L15Z1 i-VTEC petrol engine or the 1.5 L N15A1 i-DTEC diesel engine for Indian market.[10] In the same year, the Mobilio won the Car of the Year Otomotif Award 2014 in Indonesia.[11][12][13]
The Mobilio was also introduced into the Indian market in July 2014.[14] In 2014, the Indian Mobilio contains over 90% local parts.[15] It was discontinued in July 2017 due to poor sales.[16] It was also introduced in Thailand in September 2014[17] and South Africa in October 2014.[18]
The Mobilio was launched in the Philippines on 28 April 2015. All Philippine-spec Mobilios were imported from the Ayutthaya plant in Thailand.[19] It was discontinued in June 2021 due to declining sales.[20]
On 19 January 2016, the Mobilio received a minor change in Indonesia, which introduced an updated dashboard design carried from the BR-V.
The S trim is the base model, only available with 5-speed manual. The S does not have a rear wiper, foglights, side indicators, double blower air-conditioning, nor security system. The door handles are unpainted and it has 15 in steel wheels.[21] After the facelift, the Mobilio S received some additional equipment such as the double blower air conditioning system as well as alloy wheels. The mid-range E trim of the Mobilio has 15 in alloy wheels, security system, body colour painted door handles and side mirrors that comes with indicators, and double-blower air conditioning. The Mobilio E was offered either with 5-speed manual or CVT transmission, although ABS and EBD was only available for the E-CVT models until the facelift.[21] The Prestige trim was short-lived since it was only offered from the January 2014 launch and was replaced by the Mobilio RS in June 2014. The Prestige has chrome decorations on its fog light borders, side mouldings, license plate holder, and muffler tip. The alloy wheel design was unique to the model. The Mobilio Prestige has a Kenwood 6.1 in touchscreen head unit with a reversing camera view function.[21] Throughout production, all Mobilios has front ventilated disc brakes and rear drum brakes.

It was offered with new colours, with Carnelian Red Pearl and Modern Steel Metallic replacing Polished Metal Metallic. Either a 5-speed manual or a CVT transmission are offered.
