The SUV has 17” alloy rims that take 265/65R17 tyres to offer a superb driving experience and maximum performance. It uses HD LED headlights and fog lights for paramount visibility.

The company boasts that Mobius 3 is the ultimate SUV due to its strong, lightweight removable roof panels that come in handy when one wants to enjoy the sun or open air freedom.


Comfort

Mobius Motors says Mobius 3 takes one over those rough terrains but is very comfortably and comes with an exquisite interior offering standard leather seats and multiple cup holders.

It also comes with an infotainment system that incorporates GPS navigation, WiFi connectivity, multimedia, USB connection, NFC (Near Field Communication) and Bluetooth 4.0 for hands-free calling.

The high definition 8” touch screen display also offers seamless mirroring of any smartphone via Mirror-Link technology, maximising access to phone data and functionality. 


The SUV has UV filtering glass, dual zone climate control and a full digital cluster and they all enhance the driving experience and provide a high level of comfort.

Mobius 3 has a minimalistic console, one that is not crowded with a lot of buttons or knobs 

Mobius Motors back their vehicles by 3 years or 60,000km warranty and a network of authorized repair centres offering trusted ownership experience.

The Mobius 3 SUV will retail from Sh3.9 million exclusive of V.A.T. and will come in three colour options; black, white and blue.
