Honda's New Small Car for India is Brio

[Surfer]

well brio looks attractive guys but its very small

I think its more or less same as i10

It does look smaller, but that is because we are used to looking at Jazz a biggie in the segment
Although cabin space seems to have been properly utilised. Yes, boot looks small and has a high loading!

Tonight on the Autocar show, Honda's first made for India car- the Brio;
10pm only on Bloomberg UTV

Its a re-run. Show was first aired on Thursday-01/05/2011. ACI is quite optimistic about Brio.

I think Honda Brio is having good features with excellent structured model.
Honda Brio comes powered by 1.2-litre Honda Jazz engine which at later stage might also get 1 liter motor. The engine used in Honda Brio runs o petrol and smoke out a top power of 89 Bhp at 6200 rpm and beating torque of 110 Nm at 4800 rpm.

Honda Siel has confirmed that Brio will launch by the end of this month (27th September 2011). They won't be offering the safety equipment such as ABS and Airbags as standard in order to keep the costs in check, which will fall below Rs.5 Lakhs.

Drive Safe,

Brio is too small (especially boot) for an average Indian to resist with. Seems like another Jazz on Indian roads.
Honda fails again to understand Indian minds.

Not on this one but only time will tell. Honda is all set to compromise its 'safety first' policy to make Brio's pricing competitive. There will be entry level Brio without Airbags/ABS/EBD. Also Brio's boot is not lesser than Swift's and its mileage is 18+ so I think Brio will prove to be the toughest competitor for Swift petrol (at least in metro cities where Honda service network is already strong)

The Brio looks awkward, especially from the rear. What has become of automotive designers these days? They seem to be in a rat race for 'Who can build the most ugliest thing on wheels'!

Agree. Look at Ritz

Agree. Look at Ritz

+1, But my friend just loves the rear looks of Brio and Ritz. He finds the design as very futuristic [thinking]So golden rule here as well - Looks are always subjective

 

[Surfer]

The actual war is between Tata Vista, Toyota Liva and Maruti Swift

Agree, but 8 out of 10 will say Ritz back is not good

Saw the review of Zigwheels last week and they are also optimistic about the Brio. If priced well they might take the market by surprise!

 

[Nuvo]

Lets repeat again: Looks are subjective. Those who are writing epitaph for Brio based upon its look, should have a rethink about their opinion.

Pricing would be the key more than anything else.
