Honda Small RS Concept previews the next-gen Brio

Last week, Honda unveiled the Small RS Concept at the 2018 Indonesia International Motor Show. It is likely to form the basis for the next-gen Brio.

The Honda Small RS Concept has an upright front grille with a chrome bar flanked by large sweptback headlamps. The front bumper has a black splitter, a large air dam and LED strips on either side. It even has a hood vent. Moving to the side, the Small RS Concept features black 5-spoke alloy wheels shod with low profile tyres. It has black trim behind the front wheel arches and black side skirts. The B-pillar is finished in black and so are the ORVMs and door handles. In the rear, the car features a large roof spoiler, wraparound tail lamps and a sporty rear bumper with an integrated diffuser and dual exhausts.

Honda didn't disclose any details about the engine that's powering this concept. However, the current-gen Brio RS sold in the Indonesian market boasts a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces 88 BHP and a peak torque of 109 Nm. It is offered with either a CVT or a 5-speed manual gearbox.

While it is rumoured that the next-gen Brio might be based on the Small RS Concept, reports suggest that Honda might not offer it in India.
