The second generation Honda Brio has been unveiled
at the GIIAS 2018 in Indonesia. The 2019 Honda Brio looks true to the Honda
Small RS Concept which was revealed at the IIMS 2018 in April this year.
YouTube channel B Channel has uploaded a video
providing an in-depth tour of the 2018 Honda Brio. The new generation model was
officially released at the GIIAS 2018 yesterday. The new Honda Brio is underpinned
by the second generation Honda Amaze’s platform. The redesigned model is 175 mm
longer than the model it replaces, and 60 mm of this extension is by the
elongated wheelbase which measures 2,345 mm.
The all-new Honda Brio is differentiated from its predecessor with
the Honda Mobilio's headlamps that give it a fiercer look, the upswept belt
line on the sides and the conventional tailgate and the Ford Figo-like tail
lamps at the rear.
Honda is showcasing two variants of the new Brio today: the
standard Brio Satya and a sportier Brio RS with diamond-cut alloy wheels, a
faux diffuser and side skirts. Another small detail that is new is the rear micro roof antenna. As
before, a sporty RS variant is available.
Powering the 2018 Honda Brio is a 1.2-litre i-VTEC
petrol engine. This is the same unit that Honda employed in the old model. It
develops 90 PS at 6,000 rpm and 110 Nm of torque at 4,800 rpm. As before, a
5-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission sends the
drive to the front axle.
Tilt steering, 6.1-inch Display Audio touchscreen
infotainment system, automatic climate control, standard dual airbags, standard
ELR seatbelts (front and rear), standard seatbelt reminder, standard
speed-sensing auto door lock and standard rear parking camera are the equipment
highlights of the 2018 Honda Brio.
The 2018 Honda Brio comes to Indonesia in S M/T, E
M/T, E CVT, RS M/T and RS CVT and prices range from IDR 132,500,000-180,000,000.
