Honda is slated to officially unveil the production BRIO in Thailand later this month, according to reports. Initial news filtering through had the car set for its world premiere – on March 17 – in India, but it seems that Thailand is where it’s all going to happen first, in this case the Royal Paragon Hall at Siam Paragon in Bangkok on that date.
The A-segment hatch, developed for Asian markets, emerged as a prototype last November at the Thailand International Motor Expo; we were there at its world debut.
The entry-level car is designated as an urban commuter, with easy-to-handle characteristics through a small form (smaller than the Jazz and the City), but with lots of cabin space achieved by highly efficient packaging.
Both Thailand and India will get unique versions to reflect different customer needs in those markets, and the car is set to compete with the likes of the Suzuki Alto, Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto, among others.

First
Apa ini idots with, I’m first !!!!
Grow up!
If priced rightly, myvi will become HISTORY !!!!
ALthough this honda not the prettiest in design, it still easily way better than P2, let alone the quality!!!!!
You will looks cool driving this baby rather than aunty MY-VI….Besides that, let the MYVI fanboy suffering bumping like hell when driving 100km/h on highway, pity them
which honda ACTUALLY IS PRICED RIGHTLY ??????
this ssumption does NOT exists……proton should have not have neglected the Savvy and should have made a new subcompact model succeesing it….it could have been in the fight with the right price…
Don’t think it would sell well in Malaysia, too many competitor Myvi, i10, Picanto, Yaris, Savvy…
Even it does. It will be cost unreasonable price. 60k +. don’t forget where are we
why is Yaris there??Yaris is a competitor to Jazz/Fit la.
And,dude,look at all the competitors.All of them aren’t as funky as this one.And it’s a Honda.You know la Malaysian.They would prefer to pay an extra 10k for a Honda rather than all that u mentioned.
i am a honda fan boy and damn it, not afraid to show it ;)
i hope honda malaysia is considering to import this car to malaysia..
i wonder how much will it cost if honda malaysia bring it in
pricing around 45k to 55k will be ok, to compete with i10, alto n myvi but not picanto
picanto is super cheap now, 39k only for premium model
yeah picanto is very cheap now because naza gonna launch a completely new picanto later.
yea lah.. in your wettest, baddest dream… we never gonna get this kind of price here. pls see the price of Jazz, Freed to compare..
Malaysia Boleh….leading the car recycling and facelift industry..Proton Boleh
And the place where people keep posting the same old comments or Recycled comments.
Below RM60K…I will buy
i will tradein my kenari for this.
I’ll definitely change the Myvi for this car if the price is right…
gurly… hehe
just maybe ‘unforgiven’ is a girl.
The new KIA Picanto (with DTR lights) looks streets ahead… IMHO
launch it close to myvi 2 (price and time wise) and let p2 shakin in their overpriced boot…
This is the worst looking Honda ever…..Business as usual for Myvi & the new Kia Picanto is the top dog.
This car if for poor & desperate Honda fan boy/girl.
Kia Picanto 2011 for the rest of us pls!!
Why why .. the design is so .. blekkk .. This is honda meh?
How much it will be if Honda brought in here?
Sell rm60k.. Keyless,push start engine,turbocharge,gps,dvd,peti sejuk,tv,astro,tilam,bantal,free iphone… sure got ppl will buy LOL…
haha..Honda got many serius fans. Sure they will buy it.
Believe me.. This will definitely sell well in Malaysia. But I think price will be expensive as usual because of the brand….. could be around RM65 to 70K. Hopefully, Honda proves me wrong.
Proton will be feeling the heat from the
intense competition it will be facing in India.
Frankly who would wanna buy a Proton Saga when
we are spoilt for choice btw Suzuki / Nissan/Kia/Hyundai and Toyota.?
Good luck Proton !!
this is not nice. Why dont they just bring in Honda Life? at least it has plenty aftermarket parts from japan.
if we compare jap with jap…… suzuki alto CBU from india also selling at 49K…. why not this honda?
I don’t think it will cost RM49K. In Malaysia, Toyota and Honda will overprice their products as usual.. and no matter what.. Malaysians will flock to buy it.
Nizam80,
If Govt. remove the NAP and protection then see
how Honda, Naza or Nissan will price their range of cars.
One word to describe: Really ‘KANASAI’… Can dis ‘sai’ beat de coming new value-for-money Kia Picanto or not…? If cannot but stil people here buying it like what happen to Honda Freed, then these group of ppl really 2-word to describe: ‘CHIAK SAI’ one… coz willing to buy dis A-segment ‘sai’ @ more than RM50K
This will sell like hot cakes if priced below RM 60k.
The new KIA picanto? Piece of crap
nice package…..sure will sell like hot cakes….55k i’ll buy one for my wife..
No wonder Aston Martin has confidence in producing their 1st A-segment car Cygnet. I guess Masserati wil soon follow… pls dun get me wrong dat i’m not comparing honda wif them coz they’re totally in diff league.
this one, the design okey not so ugly..but
if it sells in malaysia, with pricetag 50-60k surely like hotcakes.
-lots of honda fans here maa..hehe
perodua salesman is sweating now
so many bad news nowadays
1) daihatsu gonna invest on SMALL CAR factory in INDONESIA
2) Proton gonna use latest nissan’s engine
now, Honda gonna bring in their compact car to Malaysia
all this while, our compact car market (perodua) is protected by our gov
err.. what was the wheelbase size?? the picture looks like more of Viva competitor than Myvi.. not that i loveeeeeeeeeee Myvi but Honda, reallyyy??? with that design and judging from current Honda’s product price in Malaysia…hmmm..
Yes, it definitely is a Viva/Savvy/Picanto/i10/Alto competitor. Its an A-segment vehicle by the way. But in terms of price, I don’t think it will be as cheap as a that milo tin Viva.
people please be alert!
This is an A-segment. Like viva.. is A-segment.
You all want to pay rm55k for A-segment?
hmm.. I dont think the B-segment Myvi will face any great challenge.
Unless this Honda A-segment car is launching at the price below rm50k. ..A-segment is darn small.. u know.
Can only consider this as my car if this A-segment is priced below rm50k. I would rather go for Persona if it’s beyond it. Bring it on Honda.
yah.. like the i10, alto, picanto…
A segment meh, whats the different..
Get your facts right. Myvi is an A segment car also, not B.
Myvi is B-segment. Same segment as Jazz, Yaris, Swift, and Fiesta.
Is this a Honda?
errr…… can’t you read?
if u look at online articles about it, the prototype bonnet is just a glass door, just like the Aygo..
looking by its size,dont think it will share the same engine as the Jazzz or city,most probably 1.3 litre non vtec,,,,,,,,my personal opinion,ford fiesta will nail this midget from bumper to bumper,lets wait n c how much there will price it here.
Good bye to Myvi and Viva etc.? If it’s coming here.
never say good bye to vivas or myvis. Toyota DNA ma… as par as honda.
Ya quality will only improve with competition.
Will be looking closely into this car..if it is priced at around 50K++ a little..why not give it a test drive 1st?..
Honda Brio will be priced under Rs.500,000 in India which is about Rm.33,645
With that price in India, it gonna sell over 60k over here that’s for sure!!!!
Y do we have to pay a car price that could have bought 2 cars of the same model else where………………………………
This is the Savvy virgin killer in Tomyamland!
everybody don’t dreaming. car price in Malaysia is not right.
look at the h.jazz price.
this model should be tag at RM60k-RM70k
what to say… gomen has to protect perodua small car market… if H Jazz selling at 60k.. then perodua myvi become aunties choice only meh
yeah..agreed.
not just perodua..proton also.
need PM to revise the taxes,as the in the old days all the tax made to protect local car manufacturer.
Today,i think those P1 n P2 can survive. (P1 at 25years) n P2 (over 10years)
but this car is compact car.. direct competitor to perodua …
proton already being fighting with sedan market like vios and city
but perodua still enjoy their compact car market protected by gomen
the more Japanese base compact car come in to malaysia market.. perodua will suffer
Nice in term of design. I hope also nice in term of price….Dont overpriced.
It reminds me of old Honda City back then, before it grows into sedan….cute but with turbocharged small engine…
It looks smaller than P2 Frog
mmmmmmm..i smell rat here………..I’m sure they sell it very expensive and call it……….”premium” compact small car……..just like the freed……..”premium” my a$$ mpv….and hope they fail miserably just like the freed…..
freed overpriced?? blame to gomen laa..
they have to protect perodua ALZA( direct competitor compact mpv)
if freed selling same price as ALZA…bye bye perodua la
what la……..dont compare freed with ‘national car’ elongated MYVI la………..compare to Livina la………and there nothing premium about freed either…..interior exterior just so so….might as well get high end livina or chery or rondo
Owh…. no doubt it’s a honda, i think it’s reallly hideous… with the FREED looks at the rear…. that makes me think of a roti car…
The brand is rite…….ha ha ha.
If below 50k…..it is ok.
It’s all downhill from here
In Malaysia, even if this car is priced at RM33 000 i will not buy also, seriously.
Ha ha, just guess why.
It’s using a 1.2L i-VTEC engine which should be the most efficient in the class and will put up some serious competition to Perodua/Toyota/Daihatsu.
