Honda Brio gets an upgrade in Thai market. They have added a Rear wiper-washer unit. The full glass rear door has been reduced and added a plate at the lower end. Not sure on its Indian launch yet.

Wow eagerly awaiting its India launch. Wiper addition is great. Also less glass area at rear is also a good move, will make it more acceptable to larger crowd. But the chrome bar looks bad in my opinion - totally out of place and looks forced.

There's a variant of Brio sold in India that has defogger and wiper. I think it's in the high end automatic variant. My friend has it.

VX AT (high end automatic variant) doesn't come with wiper. May be got it done

i think Indian launch will come soon , but they should bring some kit for older Brio to get wipers for Indian customers , but i think it is not possible since whole glass hatch will have to be changed to get it done , which means price will be huge , so we will be stuck with current rear .

Many Indian customers went to other brands due to lack of Rear wiper and washer unit , this will pull new customers but older customers will feel cheated

They might just allow us to get the wiper-washer combo fixed at a cost. Who knows !! Yet to be seen. I have not really felt its need that much yet. I am happy with the product until now

 

[coldfire2005]

They had to change whole full glass rear door to integrate Rear wiper and washer unit , so what if cost for whole change is 25-35k ?

 

[patil]

No the cost can't go so high. As I have to replace the rear glass few months back and it was for around 3K, so I guess it can go to max of 5K in my opnion.

I am not sure of the cost but its definitely not that high. The tuf glass will not cost you that high. Max may be around 7-8k for the whole kit. If you are not happy with it, you have to have it changed. Why was that not considered at the time of purchase ? I rarely open the rear. probably twice a week or so. It is going strong thogh. Else jus manage to break it (after the launch of the model with wipers)and get the glass through honda insurance

Sorry mods for back to back posts, am not finding the way to delete my previous post.

Hey what happened to your glass ?? since Honda brags about it tuffness ?

 

[rafian]

I wonder what makes people buy a Honda car without rear defogger. And wonder how it's ok for a company like Honda to sell a car without rear defogger.

issue will not be changing the rear , but the wiring and giving a button to operate it at the drivers corner.

 

[coldfire2005]

motor for wipers . New Rear Glass hatch , internal wiring and button , i doubt it will come around 8-10k , but Rear wiper is not absolutely necessary , but in heavy rains while taking reverse it can come handy .

I will wait for Honda to offer some kit for old brio users , if price is too high then i will go for reverse parking camera , which i think can do better job

Thats the reason I was into the budget of changing the rear. Even with the wiper motor I think it should be done with 10k if not 8k.
