Honda Brio 2050

Honda has unveiled the 2019 Brio at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in Jakarta. It is based on the Honda Small RS Concept which was unveiled earlier this year. The all-new hatchback looks quite different from the one currently sold in India and borrows design cues from the all-new Amaze.

The second-generation Brio carries forward the 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine from the outgoing model that produces 90PS of power and 110Nm of torque. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 7-step CVT. There is no diesel option available with the car as of now, but we expect it to be a part of the India lineup eventually.

There is an RS variant as well, but it’s powered by the same engine of the same tune. It does get a retuned suspension that promises to offer a sportier driving experience and a few cosmetic changes like a bigger spoiler and a more aggressive body kit.

We expect Honda to launch the hatchback in 2019, with prices falling between Rs 5 lakh -7 lakh.
