Check out the launch date in India, price, features, and images of the upcoming new Honda Brio. It has been unveiled globally and we expect it to launch by early 2019 in India. It is expected to be priced from Rs 4.5 Lakhs up to Rs 6.5 Lakhs.
New Honda Brio is expected to launch in India in early 2019, as it has been just unveiled globally. The new Brio looks similar to the Small RS concept but will copy major design elements and features from the Amaze and Jazz in India. Brio fits in the compact hatchback segment, where Swift and Grand i10 are major players. So, if you see, Brio would again find it tough to fit in. However, a competitive pricing and premium features would ensure it to be a fierce rival. In India, it would come with the same 1.2 Litre Petrol engine and might also get a 1.5 Litre diesel variant, owing to the increasing competition. We expect the new hatchback to be priced starting from Rs 4.5 Lakhs up to Rs 6.5 Lakhs. Check out the details to know more.
