The second-generation Honda Brio has made its world premiere at the 2018 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show.
While the new Brio sits on the same platform as the previous generation model, it features a reworked exterior styling. As you might have guessed, the headlights have been taken from the Mobilio facelift. While there is a slightly tweaked grille, the front bumper and front doors have been retained from the outgoing model.
At the rear, the glass has been replaced by a conventional liftgate. The RS variant gets a sporty looking rear bumper with a diffuser and 15-inch alloy wheels.
Not a whole lot has changed on the inside, meaning the layout has been retained. The RS variant gets those orange accents. Features include a 6.1-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity, auto AC, tilt-adjustable steering wheel, steering mounted controls, and adjustable headrests front and rear.
Safety kit includes dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and front seat belt pretensioner with load limiter.
Powertrain
The new Brio in Indonesia is powered by a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder i-VTEC petrol engine which produces 90 hp at 6000 rpm and 110 Nm of torque at 4800 rpm. Transmission is a 5-speed manual or a CVT.
As of July 2018, a total of 237,272 Brio units have been sold in Indonesia, the company said.
