Honda Brio

[jetrone]

Honda held the world premiere of a prototype of Honda BRIO, the new small-sized vehicle developed for Asian markets and scheduled to be introduced in Thailand and India in 2011, at the 27th Thailand International Motor Expo starting November 30, 2010.

Honda BRIO Prototype is being developed with Honda's advanced technologies, while further advancing Honda's "man maximum, machine minimum" concept. Being developed as a commuter which is easy-to-use even in urban areas, the Honda BRIO prototype adopts an easy-to-handle compact body (length 3,610mm x width 1,680mm x height 1,475 mm) while ensuring enough cabin space achieved by highly efficient packaging.

With this vehicle, Honda thoroughly pursued the creation of an advanced exterior form, which is compact while asserting a strong presence.

For the mass-production model, which will be an entry-level car, for which demand is increasing in newly emerging nations, Honda will develop unique versions for Thailand and India to reflect different customer needs in those markets. Moreover, with this vehicle, Honda will leverage the resources Honda has cultivated through its motorcycle business and utilize local sourcing of parts and materials such as sheet steel.

For the Thai model that is scheduled to be introduced in March 2011, the fuel economy of more than 5 liters/100km will be targeted so that the vehicle will qualify as an eco-car by the Thai government, and a starting price of approximately 400,000 baht will be targeted as well. For the Indian model that is scheduled to be introduced within 2011, local customer needs for a small car will be reflected and local content will be increased to create a model that achieves a good balance between vehicle performance and price.

"Honda would like to expand the joy of mobility to more customers in Thailand, India and other Asian countries through the introduction of a new small vehicle with compact and highly efficient packaging by utilizing our own experiences cultivated by motorcycle business here in Asia," said Takanobu Ito, President and CEO of Honda Motor.

I wish Honda made something to compete with the Toyota IQ, and not this.

I think this will do... considering that the Honda Jazz's and City's size and price went up to the high heavens.

I have a strong feeling that HCPI wont be launching the Honda Freed locally. This instead would be a good consolation and I do hope that this can propel Honda to regain the number 3 spot.

malamang it would be the most expensive among those cars.

for budget-constrained buyers, brio would be down on their list.

kung ganito ang pinipili mong mga sasakyan, it means you are on a tight budget.. meaning hindi rin pasok ang Honda Brio diyan dahil siguradong mahal ito compared sa listahan mo na iyan.

[speed unlimited]

400k Thai Bhat mga 600K in pesos, puwedeng-puwede to mga tol ....

kung available na to back in August, although no regrets, my wife is totally in love with her baby jazz, the price of the Brio would have been a serious consideration ...

Honda Brio Unveiled: 2011 Bangkok Auto Show
[SIZE=1]Published Dec 1, 2010 [/SIZE]

Just the Facts:

• Honda Brio concept will debut at the 2011 Bangkok Auto Show.
• The future production minicar is designed for emerging Asian markets.
• At 142 inches long, the Brio will be slotted below the Fit.

BANGKOK — The Honda Brio will debut as a concept at the 2011 Bangkok Auto Show in early spring, previewing a new minicar that's been designed for emerging Asian markets, with unique versions that will go on sale in Thailand and India in 2011.

Rated at 47 miles per gallon, the Thai model will qualify for "eco-car" status in that country, making it eligible for special government incentives when it reaches dealers in March.

Honda said the Brio will be positioned as an entry-level car in Thailand, priced from just over $13,000.

At 142 inches long, the Brio will be slotted below the Fit, known locally as the Jazz. Most of its components will be sourced locally in India and Thailand to hold down costs.

According to maxabout.com , it is expected that Honda Brio will be available in 4 variants: E, S, V and V AT. The top of the line V variant is expected to feature automatic climate control system, power steering, power windows, remote central locking, rear defogger, rear washer, rear wiper, alloy wheels, body colored door handles, ABS with EBD and Dual SRS Airbags.

Honda Brio will be powered by the same engine which is doing duty under the hood of Honda Jazz. The 1198cc, SOHC, i-VTEC petrol engine develops maximum power of 89 Bhp at 6200 rpm with maximum torque of 110 Nm at 4800 rpm.

600k pesos? hahaha. once you aim for a small car, it means nagtitipid ka or on a very tight budget. kung ganyang price, well mag vios na ako.

[myk384]

Honda, please price your cars well.

600K probably for the top of the line Brio but if the entry model starts there, forget it!


Looking at this photo and what it intends to do in the market, its like Honda City all over again back when it first came out in 1996!

600k pesos? hahaha. once you aim for a small car, it means nagtitipid ka or on a very tight budget. kung ganyang price, well mag vios na ako.
