ஹோண்டா ப்ரியோ [2013-2016] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior That is very personal. Many of my friends donk like the "different" exteriors, but I like it. This is totatly a personal choice.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dont get carried away by outside looks, interior is spacious (very comfortable for 4 people and comfortable for 5). Leg room for rear seats may be a concern for tall people (may be only). I know bout the boot space limitatation before purchase itself. So no more comments.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox FE good- consistly getting 17.5-18.5 for long drives. But with "patient & skilful" driving i.e "ECO Light  ON" always (no high acceleration, 70-100 kmph, correct gear ratio) we can get above the stated value (19.4kmpl) easily. I managed to get 20-21 kmpl in some short rides.

Ride Quality & Handling Very nice handling. Unfortunately alloy wheels (2 nos) got bent because of poor roads. Although whhel balancing done and vibrations in steering wheel subsided, still original ride quality is lacking. Be cautious while handling the vehicle in potholes and speed brakers. Ground clearance also a concern.

Final Words Very good car with lots of safety features at a reasonable price.

Areas of improvement 6 months service shedule of Honda is irritating as my car covers only 4500-6000 km during that period.If it were a maruthi/Toyotta, I have to gof for sevicing once in an year only.

Good acceleration, FE, Looks (personal)Service schedule- (every six months & slightly costly)

Exterior

Just lovvve it. 4/5 stars due to the lack of Japanese version roof rail which looks stunning. Optional indian roofrail as an accessory at a price of  Rs 7500 just looks odd and sucks.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

No complain. A perfect 5 seater though with not all the bells and whistles but have every essentials in its VXMT model.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine is naturally aspitated free revving one . Ride over 2500 rpm is best ,in lower rpm zone though not compared to swift but not complainable.

Mileage is 13-14 in city BHUBANESWAR which is decent. In highway 17+(Mind blowing while driving between 80-100 kmph).

Gearbox feel is good and short throws just match the engine brilliantly.

 

Ride Quality & Handling

 This is the most exciting department for brio. Its the best and all its competitors including swift zxi cant even a match to it. This department turned me to a BRIO FAN from a SWIFT fan.

-It just has a poison balance which holds the ground like a leech. Steering is precise and weighs up nicely with the loading suspension and increasing speed. Feedback is awesum. It might sometimes make me briophobic.

Brilliant engineering by HONDA in just Rs 600000.

Final Words

Mr Ashok has his opinion which I think RUBBISH AND BASELESS. If u people want to buy a brio then just go to nearest Honda service centre and ask the owners or drivers. U ll have ur answer closely matching to my review. Bcoz its the truth.

 

Areas of improvement  

Japo roofrail, turn indicators on mirrors , rear wiper, latest fm antenna.

On engine profile please dont change anything. I just love it.

 

RIDE AND HANDLING with the best power steering in this segment or above.Rear roof rail should be there just like the JAP versions. Indian one sucks.

Exterior

 Front looks good, Rear not so impressive, Silver color and Grey looks good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Spacious but Luggage space is very limited and awkward to use; Sitting feel very low (s if you are used to wagon R, Zen, Santro etc type hatchbacks, AC cooling waned in few weeks itself

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Overtaking can be a challenge with this car on 3-5th gear and that too with AC on, Fuel economy not good, Gears are fine

Ride Quality & Handling

 One on the highway it is smooth and silent, braking is good. Low ground clearance is a key issue and this car can get continuos beating from Indian road bumps, stones, etc

Final Words

 Pulse, Liva are better competitiors if you wish to be more concerend about driving than anything else. Just 2 months with it, now planning to change.

Areas of improvement  

 Ground clearance, Fuel economy, Pick up on high gear

 

Front looks good, SpaciousLow Ground Clearance, Low Fuel Economy, Overtaking is risky
