Indonesia: 2nd-gen Honda Brio unveiled

The second generation Honda Brio has been unveiled at the 2018 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS). It is based on the Honda Small RS Concept which was shown earlier this year.

The new Brio gets a revised front end featuring a gloss black grille flanked by sweptback headlamps with L-shaped LED DRLs. The new front bumper has a wide airdam with circular fog lamps on either side. Like the current Brio, the new model has sharp feature lines on its sides. It has blacked-out B-pillars and ORVMs with integrated turn signals. Moving to the rear, the car has new tail lamps and a more conventional rear tail gate with a roof spoiler. It also has a dual-tone rear bumper and 15-inch alloy wheels. Lower variants of the car get a chrome grille and single-tone 14-inch rims.

On the interior, the car gets a redesigned dashboard with silver accents and a gloss black center console with a 6.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It has a 3-spoke, multi-function steering wheel and a 3-pod instrument cluster. Beige colour seats get integrated headrests at the front and adjustable ones for all 3 occupants at the back. 

An RS variant gets all-black interiors with orange highlights, blackened front grille and retuned suspension. 

In Indonesia, the new Brio is offered with a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces 89 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 110 Nm of torque @ 4,800 rpm. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and CVT.
