Price OTR Mumbai: Rs. 4-5.5 lakhs (Est)
Ever since the launch of the first generation City, Honda has been looked upon as a premium brand in India and rightly so. The Japanese car maker has been doing good numbers even today, wherein most of the competition now comes with both petrol and diesel options. Demand for diesel cars has grown beyond expectations and has caught Honda on the wrong foot with the company having no diesel car in the pipeline for another couple of years. The City has been resisting its diesel competitors and is still doing fairly well, which speaks volumes about Honda products. A recent price cut on the City and Jazz have further strengthened the company’s sales and with the prices of the Jazz starting at Rs 5.5 Lakhs, undoubtedly its the best buy in the segment.
Performance – Powered by a 1.2 litre, SOHC, i-Vtec engine, the Brio churns 88 PS @ 6000 rpm and generated 109 NM of Torque at 4600 rpm. This 1.2 L SOHC engine, like all Honda’s, is free revving. Low end grunt is slightly disappointing but the midrange is punchy and the Brio is good fun when it comes to the higher end of the revmeter.The car hits the rev limiter at about 30 kmph in first gear, goes all the way to 90kmph in second and hits 130 in the third gear. Third gear is the tallest and this gives the Brio an edge, both in the city and highway. However, one may need to occasionally downshift in order to overtake on the highway. Top speed of 155 kmph is all the Brio would do. ARAI certified mileage is a healthy 18.4 kmpl. Honda has used sound proofing materials in the dash and on the floor to ensure that NVH levels are minimum, but the engine note at 6800 rpm is sweet enough to penetrate through the interiors..eternal bliss.
