The Honda Brio is actually a very good little car, and it was met with some success, but the only problem it lacked was that it did not offer any diesel engines, and we all know how important that is right now in the Indian market. However, Honda are now bringing in the sedan version of the Brio, but more importantly this new vehicle will be the first ever diesel Honda model offered to Indian customers.
The Brio Amaze was revealed to a select few journalists in Japan and the car looks quite decent. It will come in petrol as well as diesel units. The design of the new Brio Amaze is based on the Smart Micro Limousine concept. It is also influenced by Honda’s Man Maximum Machine Minimum approach that puts the highest importance on the driver and passengers.
A rack & pinion and electric power steering (EPS) system gives the new Brio Amaze great maneuverability with a small turning radius of only 4.6 meters. Comprehensive safety features include a G-CON steel safety body structure; Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brake Distribution, and an intelligent i-SRS for the driver and a SRS airbag system for the passenger. The petrol engine will be a 1.2 litre 4-cylinder mill while the diesel unit coming only to the Indian market will be a 1.6 litre mill.
