Honda's latest wheels, the Brio

The battle for supremacy in the small car segment in India is all set to heat up further with Japanese car maker Honda likely to unveil ‘Honda Brio’ this October.

According to information released by the company, the car boasts of an ‘easy-to-handle compact body (length 3,610mm x width 1,680mm x height 1,475 mm)’ while ensuring enough cabin space for five people.
The Brio will be powered by a 1200cc Petrol Engine and will deliver a mileage of 20 km/ litre, say reports emerging on websites.

The 4-door hatchback can churn out maximum peak power of 89 Bhp at 6200 rpm and torque of 110 Nm at 4800 rpm.

Honda’s latest attempt to grab a share of the space currently led by bestselling models such as Ritz, Swift, Figo, Toyota Etios Liva, Chevrolet Beat and Volkswagen Polo comes on the heels of a rather lukewarm performance by its earlier model, Jazz.

The price of Brio will most likely be around Rs 4.5 lakh-Rs 5 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

not bad but looks a lot like a Mazda 2 with a shorter front end.

put a supercharged K20/K24 in that and I'd buy it.

Looks like a Vauxhaul Corsa from the front.

I say ram a shitload of engine into it, and hand the keys to Ken Block.

FYI, when they refer to the Honda Jazz, they mean the Fit in the US market.

That may not be a bad publicity stunt. Think India has any idea who he is?

Wow, that does look similar to the Mazda 2, especially just the general shape of it all.

 

[Nix]

They probably don't know who Ken Block is but they loooove Chiranjeevi. The dude can jump a tractor.

The Ritz would be a better choice as its far low-priced than the Honda Brio, and also being a Maruti forced car it would be very low on conservation, and cheaper and simply available free constituents. this would not be the circumstances in relation to Honda. also Maruti over time has been known for its very good benefit and its broad community of provision stations. so sustaining all this under consideration the Ritz would be a more sensible choice.

Interesting. They look very similar. Just in terms of price, what are the comparative numbers between the Honda and Suzuki?
