2023 Honda Brio arrives in Indonesia with refreshed looks

ABU DHABI: The Japanese automaker Honda has unveiled the second-generation Honda Brio’s mid-cycle refresh model in the Indonesian market. The updated hatchback looks much better than the one that entered the market in 2019. The changes are totally aesthetic, and you won’t find the engine or the underpinnings to be different. 

The A-segment hatchback is available in five trim options, namely Satya E M/T, Satya S M/T, Satya E CVT, RS CVT, and RS M/T. The styling of the facelift model is based on Honda’s latest design trend, which includes sweptback headlamps and a large grille with a downsized chrome bar. The car also gets a reworked rear end and a resigned front bumper. The top-spec comes with 15-inch dark chrome alloy wheels, and the base model gets two-tone 14-inch alloy wheels.

The facelift also brings an Electric Lime metallic color option available for the RS and Satya, along with Crystal Black Pearl and Meteoroid Gray Metallic. The Satya variants get Taffeta White and Rallye Red as their exclusive options.

The interiors of the second-generation Honda Brio are similar to the outgoing version. It has an analogue instrument cluster, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a 3-spoke steering wheel in the centre console. The front seats come with adjustable headrests. The cabin of the top-spec Brio has a sporty appeal. It comes with a sporty dashboard panel and a new seat pattern. 

The 1.2-litre  4-cylinder petrol engine is similar to the outgoing version. It makes 89 bhp of power and 110 Nm of torque.
