With any product or service that is being either brought out in the market or is there for some time one thing that is common is that the producer or the seller will try to get as much market share as possible for the product. With Honda, the Japanese car maker, the same has been the case but then it was badly hit by the sad response that its Jazz received from the market due to the wrong pricing. But then Honda came out all guns blazing, by coming out with the Honda Brio. It was the right time for the Brio to hit the market, as this is the first car at such a price level (below Rs.500000/-) by Honda. Experts call it one of the most crucial launches for a car till date in the Indian market.
Interiors of the car
The quality of the interior in the new Brio has upped the ante for the other cars in this range and that is clearly visible once you step in the vehicle. From the inside of the seat pockets to the bottle holder that is provided in the rear part, everything has been dealt with utmost care and there is leather seen everywhere inside the car. The Airbags and the ABS are standard features in both the top and the middle variants, and the higher models also come with controls that are mounted on the steering, along with electronically functional mirrors, and audio system with both AUX and USB input.
The Fog lamps, the power windows and the alloy wheels are also present apart from the above mentioned accessories. Though it misses on the seat adjuster for the driver but still the car maker has provided with most of the things that one might expect in this car.
The beautiful Exteriors
The exteriors of the car are again a surprise for the buyer as the beautiful, glossy and rich paint that is provided on the body of the car is simply amazing and makes it look so attractive. The body panels have been fitted tightly, and they look like a great job done. The quality of rubber and the plastic that is used on the car is better than what one would find in any rival car and the hatch looks very sturdy while driving too. With a kerb weight of some 920 kilos, it comes to be a tad lighter than the Maruti Swift.
The absence of the defogger though stands out as a weak spot in the almost flawless interiors and exteriors.
Engine & Performance
The Brio is powered with the I VTEC 1.2 litre engine that is similar to what was found in the Jazz too. The engine gets a rating of 87 BHP and it produces 6000 rpm and a torque of 109 Nm. The motor is brilliant and the performance of the car is something that would definitely bring a smile to your face. With an expected launch date of May, 2014 this one certainly looks like a keep and a great car.
