Honda Brio (2012) Updates

Monday, 04 November 2024 01:01 PM Honda has confirmed that the Brio is no longer in production and will not be replaced by a new generation model. This decision marks the end of an era for this popular city car in the Indian market. I think this is a significant loss for those looking for an affordable and reliable hatchback.

Monday, 11 February 2019 05:24 AM Honda Brio was discontinued in India in 2019, with no plans for a replacement. The car had been a rival to models like the Hyundai Grand i10 and Maruti Ignis but failed to gain sufficient traction in the market. Its a shame, as the Brio had its loyal followers.

Friday, 01 February 2019 05:11 AM In February 2019, Honda announced that it would be increasing the prices of several models, including the Brio, due to rising input costs and other market factors. This price hike affected the affordability of the Brio for many potential buyers. I believe this move was inevitable given the economic conditions.

Sunday, 01 May 2016 04:37 AM The Brios design was updated in 2016 with a facelift that included changes to the front fascia, taillights, and dashboard. This refresh helped keep the car looking modern and competitive in the market. I think the facelift was a necessary step to keep the Brio relevant.

Monday, 05 May 2014 12:03 PM In May 2014, Honda issued a recall for about 31,000 Brio and Amaze cars in India due to a possible mis-assembly of the proportioning valve in the braking system. This recall was limited to non-ABS variants and was conducted free of charge at Honda dealerships. I think this proactive step by Honda was crucial for ensuring customer safety.

Saturday, 06 October 2012 04:34 AM In October 2012, Honda introduced the automatic transmission variant of the Brio, which was well-received by customers looking for the convenience of an automatic gearbox. This move helped expand the Brios appeal beyond manual transmission enthusiasts. I think this addition was a smart move by Honda to cater to a broader audience.

Saturday, 06 October 2012 02:52 PM The Brio was known for its safety features, including dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and front seatbelt pretensioners, although these were limited to the top variant. This emphasis on safety was a positive aspect for a car in its segment. I believe safety should always be a priority, and Honda did well in this regard.

Saturday, 03 September 2011 02:43 PM The Honda Brio was launched in India in September 2011, marking Hondas entry into the compact hatchback segment. The car was praised for its fuel efficiency, with a claimed mileage of 18.5 kmpl for the manual transmission. It quickly gained popularity among first-time car buyers. I believe the Brios launch was a significant milestone for Honda in India.

Saturday, 03 September 2011 09:03 AM Honda Brios performance was driven by a 1.2-litre i-VTEC engine, producing 88PS of power and 109Nm of torque. This engine was praised for its efficiency and smooth performance. I believe the engine was one of the Brios strongest points.

Saturday, 03 September 2011 09:17 AM The Brio was available in several variants, including E, S, and VX, with prices ranging from Rs 4.73 lakh to Rs 6.81 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). This range of options helped cater to different segments of buyers. I think the pricing strategy was well thought out.
