Honda Brio EX Updates

Monday, 11 February 2019 04:49 PM The Honda Brio, including the EX variant, was discontinued in India in February 2019 due to slow sales and the implementation of BS6 regulations. This decision left the Amaze as Hondas entry-level offering in the Indian market. I think this move was necessary given the changing regulatory landscape and consumer preferences.

Thursday, 02 August 2018 09:56 PM Honda has confirmed that there are no plans to bring the second-generation Brio to India, marking the end of the Brios run in the country. This decision was made after stopping production of the current model. I believe this is a strategic move to focus on more popular models in the Indian market.

Tuesday, 04 October 2016 11:08 AM Honda Cars India launched the facelifted Brio in October 2016, priced starting at Rs. 4.69 lakh. The update included a new front end and improved interiors, aligning with the design of the Amaze and Mobilio. This facelift was an attempt to revitalize the models appeal. I think the design updates were a step in the right direction, but perhaps not enough to boost sales significantly.

Thursday, 08 September 2016 05:50 AM In September 2016, the facelifted Honda Brio was spotted at a dealership in India, indicating its imminent launch. The facelift included changes to the front end and interiors, similar to those seen on the Indonesia Motor Show. This was a significant update after years of minimal changes. I believe the timing was crucial as the market was highly competitive.

Thursday, 25 September 2014 02:22 PM In 2014, the Honda Brio ranked highest across segments in the JD Power India Initial Quality Study, reflecting its strong build quality and customer satisfaction. This study involved over 8,400 vehicle owners and highlighted the Brios reliability. I think this achievement underscores Hondas commitment to quality.

Thursday, 01 September 2011 02:17 PM The launch of the Honda Brio in India was delayed in early 2011 due to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It was eventually launched in September 2011. This delay had a significant impact on the models initial market reception. I believe the delay, though unfortunate, allowed for a more thorough preparation for the Indian market.
