Honda
Brio, just how good is this new kid on the road from Honda? Not to forget that Honda
is the leading maker of small petrol engines in the auto world. Honda has so
far successfully lead from the front in India, be it the bikes or proud accord
owners. Does Honda have the credentials to repeat the same success in the small
car segment in India? So how far does the Honda Brio defend the companys
domination? Does it have the game to beat Maruti in India and go onto win?
Exterior: Though
the front seats seem to have the major share of the boot space the same cannot
be said about the back seats. A clean sweep of the Suzuki swift influence is
evident from the kerb. This influence also extends towards a daring stance in
the front of the car with a mix of the Hondas usual tight and contemporary
skin. Honda Brio is a quad door hatchback capable of
accommodating 5 passengers at a time. It has a total length of 3610 mm, width
1680 mm and overall height is 1475 mm. This gives the car a beautiful and compact
look allowing for smooth and easy handling. Overall the exterior look of the
car is superb.
Interiors: Honda Brio does
have some stuff in the interiors along with advanced features. It has nice leg
space and headroom. It also has power steering. The dashboard takes you back
down the memory lane and has a built in entertainment system with the
instrument panel. The feel is really niche with the chrome and circular
chromes. Surely the comfort has been graciously delivered in this metal case. Both
the front and back seats are adjustable.
Engine: The bad memories of
Jazz seem to have gone down well with Honda and have more than made up with
their earlier mistakes. The Honda Brio equipped with a petrol engine of 1.2-litre,
4 cylinder 16 valves, SOHC, i-VTEC petrol engine delivers up to 89 Bhp at 6200
rpm, with a maximum torque of 110 Nm at 4800 rpm. This one surely looks to be
more robust in performance and greater in mileage as well for a hatchback
category.
Handling and Safety: The safety seems to be a no
compromise feature for the Hondas. The huge 15 inch tyres with a good wheel
base give total road control. The safety moves notch higher with airbags at the
front and there are rumors of a high tech traction control, electronic
stability system, ABS and Brake assist.
Price: The Honda Brio has an
estimated starting price of 4.5 lakhs and speculated to be launched in 4
variants with the price going up to 6 lakhs. (Ex-showroom)
Colors: Five colours are available for the
Thai Brio, these being the hero green shade called Fresh Lime, Taffeta White,
Cerulean Blue, Alabaster Silver and a pearlescent Crystal Black. Officially the car has already
made its debut in Thailand and is expected to make its entry in India by the
fag end of September.
