Adequate space for driver

Exterior Brio’s body design and exterior looks are attractive

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Adequate space for driver and front passenger, but rear seat and window could be better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Surprisingly no zip and poor pickup at start for a Honda 1200 cc engine with 88 bhp power, claimed 18.4 kmpl and lamp indicator for fuel economy, smooth gear shift.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth and reasonable, steering and brakes satisfactory.

Final Words On a traffic-free Sunday morning, test drive provided for barely 2 km by Honda dealer in Mumbai.
