Japanese car major Honda announced its foray into the highly competitive low-price compact car segment in India with the launch of its Brio model, priced between Rs 3.95 lakh and Rs 5.1 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
The Brio is equipped with Honda's E20-friendly engine that meets Euro 4 standards. Under the bonnet is a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder i-VTEC engine, which also powers the Jazz in India.

A five-speed manual transmission is available in both E and S versions; only the Brio V comes with a continuous variable transmission (CVT).
Other interesting features are electronic power steering (EPS), collapsible rear seats, adjustable steering wheel, ECO indicator lamp, air-conditioning system, reminder alarms (for the hand-brake, key, headlights and seat-belts), child lock system, WAVE key, immobiliser system and third LED stop light.
