Honda has refreshed its Brio model lineup in Indonesia – new variants of the compact hatch have been introduced, including the entry-level Satya variant that has come about in response to the country’s Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) programme, and the 1.2 litre finally makes its way into that market.
The Brio was first introduced in Indonesia last August as the automaker’s first offering in the city car segment. It made its debut in 1.3 litre i-VTEC form, the 100 PS and 127 Nm four-cylinder unit being available with CVT or five-speed manual transmission choices.
The 1.3 continues on, and is now joined by the 88 PS and 109 Nm 1.2 litre SOHC lump that was first seen on the Brio in Thailand. The current range thus comprises the Brio Sports (E grade only), the Brio 1.2 (S and E model grades) as well as the Brio Satya 1.2, which is available in three trim line grades (A, S, and E). The Brio 1.2 is available only in auto transmission form, while the Brio Satya is only available with a manual transmission.
The Brio Satya is entirely produced in Indonesia, with 85% local content, and is the automaker’s cheapest model in that market. Cheap it may be, but there’s much pride in it. The car wears a suffix and logo created specifically for Indonesia – the Satya name comes from the Sanskrit word meaning “sincere” or “faithful,” and the car also bears a logo that takes the form of the jasmine, the country’s national flower.
It’s also quite well specified. All the Brio Satyas are equipped with dual airbags, and for the range-topping E grade, the kit list includes fog lamps, rear wiper, 14-inch alloys and a double-DIN CD/MP3 player with USB/iPod connectivity.
Pricing for the revised 2013 Indonesian Brio lineup starts from 106 million Rupiah (RM30,100) for the Type-A Brio Satya and tops out at 179 million Rupiah (RM50,800) for the Brio Sports E automatic.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Too bad if comes here surely RM80K full-specs….and that adult-diaper car suddenly looks cheaper worth buying…
Your comment doesn’t make sense as the Jazz is already at RM75k. This car is competing with the likes of the i10 and Picanto in the 50-60k region but Honda already mention that it has no plans to bring this model in as the Malaysian market is more sophisticated.
only possible to see Honda Brio at RM55k starting price.
which would be insane as the wheelbase is smaller then viva!
Brio = 2345mm
Viva = 2390mm
Smaller interior then Viva. Small Legroom.
Sempit dalam
Someone syok sendiri here comparing honda brio with SS. This brio is in A segment, smaller than B segment Jazz, and SS in C. Mentioning the “adult-diaper” is really worthless and childish.
FYI the pics of adult-diapers won’t be displayed on top images anymore. Nice try but then it just showed how black your heart is. Pity.
what is SS? Super Sonic? can type in full? People don’t understand your shortform…. don’t be lazy la.
SS = syok sendiri?
I believe SS is Suprima S?
You made me laugh, but perhaps that’s what been said by Honda executives.
Actually this market is not that sophisticated. Remember the Toyota-without-airbag-sub-RM70k, Vios J first generation, received great interest from Malaysians. Sophisticated market huh?
In case you didn’t aware, Honda Jazz CKD is selling at RM74k. Who in the right mind would price BRIO at rm80k?
Exterior worst than Myvi and Viva!
Hidden due to lowcomment rating. Click here to see.
I mean the upcoming Hyundai i10
That’s the difference between ASEAN design and European design.
The upcoming i10 totally copies Renault from the side… Just compare with the new Clio.
OMG…Any good engine put in, it still Ugly like shit….Puihh…Pls dont launch it here.
Whao, finally, a Saga killer when and if the Type A Brio Satya is given the OK to compete in Malaysia :) Can’t wait to see this car! Thanks, Paul!
1.5l myvi(980kg) produce 103hp while 1.3 brio(920kg) is 100hp.hmmmm…

wow..first time i saw a comment get max dislike and no likes :)))))))))) Darth Maul must be a big Arse.
it make no sense that suddenly the total rating (like + dislike) is hit 120+ and the other only have 12+.
Quite confirm some1 is damn boring and childish to click it repeatedly.
hopefully it’ll be plonked in fiesta sedan. sure can sell more
ford 1.0 ecoboost is turbocharge la badigol.this one NA.
THE HORROR
RM30k for base model? Wow, thats cheaper than a Viva.
Saw it a lot in indonesia, quite cute actually especially in white. Fav car for college student over there
Can sell if in Malaysia… Hyundai I10 and Suzuki Alto can sell also….
I didn’t seen many Mirage or the 2 car you mention on our road.
Everywhere i see is just Myvi.
LOL I bet if this makes it here, it will sell like hot cakes just because its a Honda. -__-
hope honda and proton joint venture will produce something like this.
Indonesian minister will tell its people Honda now cheaper than Proton in msia, syukurlah and terima kasih bn
so Proton BRIO will compete with Perodua Viva?
Don’t care what comments made above. I’d buy it! With 100hp in a small car, sounds like fun. Small cars aren’t meant to look good, just cute adding to the cheap and cheerful feel. Of course, it depends also if the gov’t do not price it out of reach – hey! A Savvy replacement.
In Oz, these cars are labelled shopping trollies
Everytimes Sam the no otak budak make comment, it entertain a lot of people because of his bodoh comment that come out from his butt. He will very soon touch on RV and telling people his camry2.0E is the best in the world.
May not be suitable for KL etc. but for traffic clogged Jakarta it certainly has its merits.
Cars of this dimension always works better in that town, especially if you don’t use it to cart around 5+ people like many people do over there. But for the first time in the category, the Brio has the right road manners, for a bit of fun along winding narrow city streets, and enough power to weight ratio for the occasional trips up to Puncak or Bandung.
Horses for courses, of course, but there aren’t many Sydney to Melbourne esque trips to be had in Indonesia, so small zippy cars work well.
i drove this car in thailand.. i think its much better than myvi. if its below 60k, sure bersepah sepah at malaysian road. because of Honda™ logo
