Honda Brio: First Drive
Honda Siel Cars has always been known as a car maker for the niche class, and brand Honda is synonymous for its high quality cars. The line-up includes Jazz, City, Civic, Accord and CR-V. Jazz was Honda's premium hatch and with that, Honda had entered the small car segment. Everything that the Jazz offered was good. Good performance, styling, interior fit and finish of the features offered. However, Jazz got a cold response and the main culprit behind this was its pricing. Facing heat from all auto majors, recently Honda dropped its prices of Jazz and today Honda is overbooked with its Jazz bookings.
Nonetheless, the Honda Jazz is still a premium compact hatch, so Honda introduced its Brio mainly to intrude the mass segment which is hitertho dominated by the likes of Ford Figo, Maruti Suzuki Swift, Chevrolet Beat etc. Takashi Nagai, President & Chief Executive of Honda's Indian unit, indeed stated during the launch, “Brio is our answer to the demand of mass car market. It's our most focused product."
Honda Brio promises the same quality of fit and finish that its high end siblings offer, and it uses the same but toned down mill used in Honda Jazz. The Brio is claimed to have been developed keeping in mind the Asian conditions.
Today, we take a first look at this small wonder from Honda.

Honda should introduce Automatic transmission in Brio or Jazz at least or Honda only care only for Rich People not middle class or lower middle class. In Thailand they can introduce Automatic transmission not in India.

Ritz ZXi ABS is the best infeatures ang riding and comforts. I drive it. For me Brio Fail. Check the Ritz ZXi before owing any premuim hatchback. Take care.

Excellent Car barring Rear Windshield Wash & Wipe Arrangement, without which it looks a little incomplete machine for Indian Wet & Muddy Roads in rainy Season.Rear visibility is a MUST in our country. Side Mirrors & Internal Rear View Mirror are just not enough to exactly locate the vehicle following our car. Honda must think on this aspect. My buying decision will definitely will be influenced towards negative on this aspect.
