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 

a Brio

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.
