The Honda Brio is a five-door hatchback subcompact produced by the Honda Motor Company in India and Thailand. The car was introduced in 2011.
The Brio is powered by the 4-cylinder, 1.2 liter, L12B i-VTEC gasoline engine delivering up to 90hp. It is available with either a 5-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission.
The car's body is certified to meet the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)'s regulations 94 and 95 for front and side impact safety during collisions.
The Brio is assembled for the South Asian market by the company's subsidiary, Honda Siel Cars India (HSCI), at its production facilities in Greater Noida. Some parts are produced at the HSCI factory in Rajasthan. Over 80% of its parts are sourced from Indian suppliers. The Rajasthan factory also exports Brio parts to Thailand.
The Brio's planned launch in India was delayed from early 2011 due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. It was finally lauched in September 2011, just ahead of the festive season. It joined the Jazz in Honda's hatchback subcompact range for India. In the Indian market, it competes against Maruti Suzuki's Swift and Ritz, Hyundai's i10, Ford's Figo, Nissan's Micra and Toyota's Etios Liva.
