2016 Honda Brio Facelift | First Drive Review

Very comfortable car. Good for small to moderate family. Recommendable and worth for money. Long lasting and high mileage. Comfortable and budget friendly at this price segment also having lot of variants for different use.

The real compact hatchback with a adequate engine (1.2 petrol). The best for city drive as it's steering is very smooth which can actually be operated using a finger (don't do it, it's just to define the steering's smoothness) but it's not that good for highways and when you pass 2500 rpm it's engine strains and give out a very bad sound. It has all basic features that you need in a hatch of this size. According to me it?s best for old age people and ladies. It?s back seat is also comfortable but lacks leg room and only 2 people can sit comfortably in the back. Die to its compact dimensions, it?s easy to manoeuvre. It?s mileage is not so impressive looking at its engine size and weight, it will give a milega about 11-12 kmpl in city with a/c on and talking about the a/c, it?s the worst like in a country like India where in summers temperature touches 50-degree Celsius it's a/c fails to cool the car. In the end, I can say that if you want a car for city drive, you can consider it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is a bit cramped. Comfort is good. but excellent considering other segment cars. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Brio took me on a surprise behaving the same way when it was bought. I don't drive calm.88bhp comes alive if you throttle. It's a true IV tech engine. Fuel economy depends on how you drive. On city stalled traffic expect 10-11, normal traffic 13, highway cruising at 80kmph - 19+kmpl, avg 90-110 - 17 km, 120+ - 15kmpl. Have driven on long highways with max nonstop running time 4hrs. My car will easily do another 30k without issues. Tire change at 47k kms. Riding experience is lovely. Ride Quality & Handling Driving on the city is easy, quick overtakes, tight parking, squeezing tight spots, u-turn in a one-way road, all you can do comfortably without any bother.  On highway, you can cruise at 100-110kmph without worry. It doesn't animate the undulations completely, but fair enough for a car of this price ranges. Braking is awesome compared to the cars of upper segments or even better. Beyond 120kmph, the noise level rises considerably. Car was surprisingly stable even at 145kmph. Superb car specifications.  Final Words If city drives are your aim, go for it, you will love it. Lack of boot makes it lesser proffered for highway cruises, but we were a family of just 2, hence we did all our long drives without a problem. Performance on ful loaded (5 persons) is a bit dull.  Very reliable car. Awesome Honda car. Good in that price range. I love it so much.

I bought my Honda Brio SMT model 4 years back and I am loving it, the drive is so smooth and comfortable and It requires minimum gear shift, engine has no sound at all, seats are so comfortable, sound of the system is so good, the interiors are very appealing, specially I like the shape of the gear handle (like a golf ball). If I start telling you about the car, the first things which comes in mind is its engine noise. The engine has no sound at all, sometimes I forget that engine is ON when its standing neutral with ignition ON on traffic signal and accidentally give ignition again but realises soon that engine was already ON. Second thing which comes in mind is its leg room. The car is designed so intelligentally keeping in mind the space required for a comfortable seating. The space is so adequate beside the fact that car has a smaller body. Third thing which makes me love my car again is its small and compact body which allows me to drive anywhere around the city, small roads, traffic and tight parking lots. Its a best choice for city driving on traffic jammed roads and a wonderful drive too If someone is travelling longer distances. I Am enjoying my Honda Brio because of its excellent features.

Best Car in Small car segment. Very Very Good for a city ride and highway too. This car has all the features of mid-segment cars. Excellent pickup. Mileage is also as promised.
