Space-frame:
The core structural element of Mobius II is a robust steel space-frame mounted onto a longitudinal ladder chassis. Combined with a sealed solid rear axle, which lowers the centre of gravity, the construction underpins excellent vehicle handling while still maintaining high ground clearance. The space-frame architecture provides added passenger protection and supports optimal weight balancing across the vehicle.
Engine:
The proven engine and transmission system is engineered to deliver solid traction, useful for driving on rough roads with heavy loads. The powertrain is specially tested and calibrated around the road and climate conditions in Kenya. This high-efficiency engine combines 16 valves and VVT (Variable Valve Timing) to drive increased torque at lower engine speeds while also delivering top-end power and fuel economy.
Suspension:
Solid suspension is key to reliable driving in the variable road terrain of Africa. Mobius II utilises a custom-developed double wishbone coil spring suspension in the front and live axle leaf spring suspension in the rear. This configuration enables responsive vehicle performance - including improved drive handling and steering stability - without compromising load capacity for transporting heavier goods in the boot.
Infotainment:
The new Mobius infotainment system 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. This WiFi enabled system brings the car into the connected world.
Exterior:
The new Mobius II is rugged, modern and iconic. Simplified and unified feature lines, strong proportions and stance on the road and an elevated ride height all deliver the unique Mobius aesthetic. The new Mobius II fits perfectly into both the urban metropolitan environment for a comfortable city cruise and more rugged rural environments where durability and reliability is essential.
Interior:
Simplicity is the core design value at Mobius. Mobius believes the best products bring order to complexity and deliver a frictionless user experience in a beautiful form. The interior design of the new Mobius II reflects this ambition. The simplified dashboard design and interior features focus mindspace on the driving experience, while an optional extra 8" tablet with WiFi connects seamlessly to the integrated audio system.

Company Profile:
Mobius designs, manufactures and sells vehicles built specifically for the African mass market. Mobius II was conceived by reimagining the vehicle, around the needs of the African consumer – common road terrain, typical vehicle loading and average income levels were important factors in the development of the vehicle. The result, an SUV with the durability required to handle rural roads, sold at the price of a used sedan.
Since the vast majority of vehicles in Africa are imported, they are not designed for local usage. High import duties compound the problem, typically doubling the price of a car. Further, the majority of roads in rural and peri-urban areas of sub-saharan Africa are degraded, often cracked and riddled with potholes; making transportation difficult and ultimately restricting mobility.
Across Africa, degraded roads, disparate communities, low-income levels and inadequate vehicles undermine the continent’s transportation system and ultimately constrain economic growth. The main impediment to Africa’s transport network are the vehicles themselves which are too expensive and too unreliable for the consumer.
Mobius was founded in 2011 by Joel Jackson to build a vehicle in Africa, for Africa. The first-generation Mobius II was launched in Kenya in 2015. Mobius continues to provide end-to-end customer support and has applied early product feedback into the development of the next-generation Mobius II, launching in 2018.
