With the Honda Brio our engineers began
with a clear goal in sight. They wanted to
build an affordable, compact and reliable car
that balanced maximised interior space with
a futuristic, edgy and functional design all the
while fi tting into a get-up-and-go lifestyle. The

result is the Brio with its unique styling that raises
eyebrows without sacrifi cing any of the usual
conveniences. Keep up with your life with the
Brio, and make it a part of you.

Life is more reliable in

Modern, edgy design

A trademark that makes you stand out from
the crowd is the sporty double triangle - the
unique idea behind the modern styling of the
Honda Brio.

The edgy chrome grille and fi ne character lines
rising up from the dynamic headlights are a tribute
to Brio’s well thought out design. Complementing
the character of the front are its sides which are
created to exude a wave of vibrant energy.

Every bit of its exterior, from the protruding
fenders to door mirrors with extra depth, is
designed aerodynamically.

Brio takes your

space to the max

The Brio is a testimony to Honda’s ‘Man
Maximum, Machine Minimum’ principle that
believes in maximising space for you and
minimising space taken up by the machinery.
The Brio’s interior design combines a spacious
and quality feel with a focus on actual cabin size
used by you.

The entire interior has an openness that belies its
compact exterior and has enough room for you
to drive your car in comfort. Ease of entry and
exit is another key advantage of the Brio while
its unique design ensures that you get maximum
outward visibility in all directions at all times.

Impressive

performance

Honda’s advanced 1.2 i-VTEC (Intelligent Variable
valve Timing and Electronic lift Control) engine
delivers high power output with impressive fuel
economy. It is a four-cylinder engine featuring
Programmed Fuel Injection, delivering impressive
performance with an awesome 65 kW at 6000
rpm so that you never feel let down.

By regulating the valve opening to match engine
speed, the agile i-VTEC engine adjusts its
characteristics to deliver both superior power
and low fuel consumption. Couple these with
good emission levels and you’ve got a reliable
ride that’s eco-wise.

The Brio also comes standard with a 2 year /
30000 km service plan.
