Honda Brio
The Honda Brio is a city car produced by Honda since 2011. It is mainly sold in Southeast Asia and also in other regions, positioned as an entry-level hatchback model slotted below the Fit/Jazz and the City. Along with the complementary Amaze sedan, it is the smallest car in Honda's global line-up as of 2023[update], excluding Japanese market kei cars.
The name Brio is Italian for 'vivacity' or 'verve'. In August 2013 in Indonesia, several entry-level Brio variants received an additional Indonesia-inspired name to comply with the country's LCGC (Low Cost Green Car) program. The name Satya (Sanskrit: 'true', 'genuine', 'sincere' or 'faithful') is used as the suffix.
Honda launched the Brio in 2011 as a hatchback slotted in a class below the Fit/Jazz. The car was specifically designed for emerging markets such as Thailand and India, two countries where the Brio was initially manufactured. The car was previewed as the New Small Concept. The concept car was first shown at the 2010 Thailand International Motor Expo.
The first-generation Brio is powered by either a 1.2-litre L12B3 SOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine producing 65–66 kW (87–89 hp; 88–90 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 108–110 N⋅m (80–81 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,500–4,800 rpm, or a 1.3-litre L13Z1 SOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine producing 73.5 kW (99 hp; 100 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 127 N⋅m (94 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,800 rpm. It is available with either a 5-speed manual, 5-speed torque converter automatic or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The car is certified to deliver a combined mileage of 19.4 km/L (5 L/100 km; 46 mpg‑US; 55 mpg‑imp) and 16.5 km/L (6 L/100 km; 39 mpg‑US; 47 mpg‑imp) with manual and automatic transmission respectively on the Indian cycle.[citation needed] For the Thai market, the 1.2-litre engine is compatible with E20 fuel.
In Thailand, the Brio was launched on 17 March 2011 as a response to a government-endorsed Eco Car program. It was initially available in S grade with manual transmission and V grade with either manual transmission or CVT. Both S and V versions are powered by a 1.2-litre L12B3 engine that can utilise E20 fuel, and offers a claimed fuel economy of 20 km/L (56 mpg‑imp). However, Honda Thailand also produced the Brio with a 1.3-litre L13Z1 engine for export markets. After the car was facelifted in May 2016, which included updated front fascia, taillights, and dashboard design, the manual transmission option was discontinued, leaving only the V grade with CVT.
At the launch, Honda expected to sell 40,000 Brios annually in the Thai market. However, throughout its lifecycle Honda only managed to sell less than around 32,000 Brio hatchbacks in the country.
The Brio's planned launch in India was delayed in early 2011 due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It was launched later in September 2011. The Indian market Brio was produced by the company's subsidiary, Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL), at its production facilities in Greater Noida. Over 80% of its parts were sourced from Indian suppliers. The Rajasthan factory also exports Brio parts to Thailand. The Brio in India were offered in V, VX and VX BL grades. The facelifted model was launched on 4 October 2016.
The Brio stopped production in India in November 2018 and removed from the lineup in February 2019 due to slow sales, leaving the Amaze as Honda's entry-level offering for the Indian market.
