About

The 2016 Honda Brio facelift is an entry-level hatchback that has been refreshed to stay competitive in the Indian market. It features a new front bumper, grille, and taillamp cluster, giving it a fresh and modern look. The interior has been significantly updated with a new dashboard, digital AC controls, Bluetooth audio system, and steering-mounted audio controls. The car is powered by a 1.2-liter i-VTEC petrol engine producing 87 bhp and 109 Nm of torque, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission. Known for its agile handling and stable ride, the Brio is a joy to drive, especially on highways. It also offers good interior space and comfort, making it a solid choice for small families and city driving. However, the lack of a diesel engine and limited safety features on lower variants are points to consider.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The 2016 Honda Brio facelift is a significant improvement over its predecessor, offering a fresh and sleek design, enhanced interior aesthetics, and a longer list of features. While the mechanicals remain unchanged, the Brio continues to be a fun-to-drive car with excellent handling and stability, especially on highways. The new dashboard, derived from the Amaze, adds a touch of modernity and sophistication to the cabin. However, the absence of a diesel engine option and the limited availability of safety features like ABS and airbags only on the top variant are notable drawbacks. Despite these, the Brio remains a compelling choice for those seeking a reliable, spacious, and enjoyable driving experience.

Price

The 2016 Honda Brio facelift is priced competitively in the Indian market, although it leans towards the premium side. The ex-showroom prices in Delhi start from Rs. 4.69 lakh for the base E MT variant and go up to Rs. 5.95 lakh for the VX MT variant. The top-of-the-line VX AT variant is priced at Rs. 6.81 lakh. On-road prices in Mumbai range from Rs. 5.41 lakh to Rs. 8.24 lakh, depending on the variant and local taxes. While it is more expensive than some of its competitors like the Hyundai Grand i10 and Maruti Celerio, the Brios premium feel and Hondas reputation for reliability might justify the extra cost for many buyers.

Latest Updates

Tuesday, 04 October 2016 04:58 PM Honda Cars India launched the facelifted Honda Brio on October 4, 2016, priced at Rs. 4.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The update included a new front end, revised styling in line with the Amaze and Mobilio, and spruced-up interiors. This facelift was the first major upgrade to the hatchback in India since its launch in 2011. I think this update was a necessary step to keep the Brio competitive in the market.

Thursday, 08 September 2016 02:36 PM The 2016 Honda Brio facelift was spotted in India in September 2016, ahead of its official launch. The car was seen with a new front grille, updated front lights, and a revised front bumper, giving it a fresher look. This sighting generated a lot of excitement among potential buyers. I believe the new design elements really enhanced the cars appeal.

Wednesday, 13 April 2016 09:11 PM In April 2016, the facelifted Honda Brio made its first appearance at the Indonesia Motor Show. This version featured updates such as a new front fascia, taillights, and dashboard design, which were later incorporated into the Indian market model. The Indonesian launch hinted at what Indian buyers could expect. I think the international debut helped build anticipation for the Indian launch.

Sunday, 10 April 2016 07:37 AM The 2016 Honda Brio facelift introduced several interior changes, including colored accents on the dashboard and new seat designs. However, the seats in the top-of-the-line RS variant retained a more dated appearance with geometric patterns. The interior updates were aimed at making the car feel more modern and comfortable. I believe these changes were a step in the right direction for enhancing the cars interior appeal.

Mileage

Thursday, 21 November 2024 12:13 AM The Honda Brios mileage is quite satisfactory, especially considering its performance-oriented engine. The 1.2-liter i-VTEC petrol engine delivers a claimed fuel economy of 18.4 kmpl, although real-world figures can vary. Users have reported mileage of around 12-15 kmpl in city traffic with the air conditioner on, which is reasonable for a car in its segment. This makes the Brio a viable option for those concerned about running costs, as it balances performance with decent fuel efficiency.
