Honda has released an official sketch of the new Honda Brio MPV that will be making its world debut at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS 2013) in September. The sketch is of the Honda LMPV Concept, and the name of the production car hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it is based on the Brio family, which consists of the original hatchback and the Brio Amaze sedan that appeared late last year in Bangkok.
UPDATE: More details and live IIMS 2013 gallery of the Honda Mobilio MPV here.
The Brio MPV was developed for the Asian market by Honda R&D Asia Pacific Co Ltd in Thailand and PT Honda R&D Indonesia. This model will mark Honda’s entry into Indonesia’s entry level MPV (low MPV) arena, which is the country’s biggest auto segment. Rivals that are waiting include the Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia twins, Suzuki Ertiga and the Chevrolet Spin, among others.
The Brio has already spun off this Brio Amaze sedan, which debuted late last year
The MPV will be the first product of Honda’s new RM1.05 billion second plant in Karawang Industrial Park, scheduled to begin operation in early 2014. It will come with seven seats in a three-row configuration, the segment norm.
The Brio hatchback uses a 1.3 litre engine in Indonesia, but the MPV will be powered by a 1.5L unit, likely to be the same one in the City and Jazz. This unit “provides both sporty performance and good fuel efficiency.”
This affordable, compact MPV should be coming to Malaysia in the near future; do you think it will be better received than the Freed here?

lampu depan tu kasi ejas sket.
if less RM74K,sure laku punya
dalam mimpi ko la.. Jazz CKD pun dah 75k..
Drawing looks good. Hopefully end product is as good as sketching… Then it can surely challenge Avanza sales.
The pic looks shortened. Bio height should be more than the pic…
kalau harga macam freed… baik tak payah la honda oii…
size like Alza, price must near Alza to be competitive here..
Proton gerenti cakap jangan…too cheap…at least RM90K baru OK…biar Exora nampak murah

honda staff put thumds down
Do u guys feel that all B-segment Japan designed marques are very similar with one another nowaday? From far hard to differentiate whether is Vios, Almera, Attrage, Brio..my goodness….truly no identity, all have the same look.
The Brio Amaze sedan is a rebadged Suzuki SX-4 sedan in disguise. The whole shape of the car especially the rear passenger window is a big giveaway!
By the speed new models are being dished out it will be a buyers market next year. What happened ??? Proton Preve hatchback where are youuu hidingggg ?
Good job Honda .
Rear seems familiar… BMW X3’s? ;p
What type of NAP we have?
No export of cars from Honda plant in Malaysia to Indonesia,
instead Honda build a new plant in Indonesia.
Lee C Wei again, the only one left.
Well…it’s Honda. Don’t make it too cheap after all it is going to be an ordinary car. Should be powered by at least 1.8cc engine like civic. If size slightly bigger than Freed but within the same price range will be much better.
Don’t worry DRB will tell Honda slap RM90K price on it…
It’ll make Exora looks cheaper worth buying…
It’s look like Honda Odysseh from rear.
