In terms of dynamics, the steering, being an electric unit, has less feedback but is direct and precise making it easy to manoeuvre in tight traffic. The anti-roll bar across the struts in the front does well to damp it down. It soaks up road bumps quite well, even at speeds but the soft setup does reflect in cornering dynamics where the body roll comes in. The Brio is set up on the softer side like all Honda cars and the ride is comfortable but on the jiggly side. The Brio also gets a five-speed automatic gearbox for the VX trim. The gear ratios are spread nicely and the Brio cruises effortlessly at 100 at less than 3000rpm.

The five-speed manual gearbox is smooth and feels positive especially with the short gear throws and a light clutch. The engine has enough bottom end to suffice in city traffic but feels a tad flat over 4000rpm. Honda continues to offer the Brio with the tried and tested 1.2-litre four cylinder i-Vtec petrol engine only which develops 87bhp of power and 109Nm of torque and revs freely to its red-line near 6500rpm. On the safety front, only the top-spec VX comes with dual front airbags and ABS with EBD. At high revs though, the sweet engine notes are audible but the insulation also allows quite a bit of road noise to come in on rough roads. The boot space of 175 litres is not the best in class and the high loading lip coupled with the tiny dimensions renders it almost unusable except for stowing hand baggage.īeing a petrol, there is hardly any noise from the engine which means a quiet ride.

The legroom though is enough for a six-footer to fit in the driver seat ensuring the one sitting behind will have his legs wedged between the seats in spite of the carved out seatbacks. The driver seat is height adjustable and the view from the driver seat is largely unhindered. But till then, three full-size adults are a squeeze in the back – a segment standard. Honda claims the 1380mm shoulder room of the Brio is best-in-class, we shall be able to tell you better when we get our detailed road test out. While the VX gets all black interiors as against the E and S trims which get beige, the new upholstery pattern makes the Brio cabin look premium. The seats are comfortable, have good ergonomics and the upholstery is not as boring.

The infotainment system finally gets Bluetooth connectivity but still loses out on a touch-screen option.

The Brio VX gets all four power windows and climate control system is standard and along with the max cool function. The handy three-spoke electric power steering has been retained and is tilt adjustable across the range. Even the plastics are better than before but the piano black does look a bit out of place. The all-black dash is busy with silver accents, carbon finish applique, piano black for the centre console and its angular design that focuses on the driver. The dashboard is all-new and comes from you know where - the Amaze. You will know why Honda calls this Brio all-new only when you step inside the cabin.
