A new Honda Brio has been captured on camera somewhere in Indonesia and it appears to be a Honda Brio RS. If that front looks familiar, that’s probably because you’ve seen it on the Honda Mobilio RS.
As published by AutoNetMagz, the image shows the Brio with its little chrome grille swapped out for a black piece that’s linked to the headlamps. The unit seen here also appears to sport a new headlamp cluster with LED daytime running lights, along with a set of turbine-style 15-inch alloy wheels.
The Brio RS will likely carry on with the 1.2 litre four-cylinder SOHC engine that produces a total of 88 PS and 109 Nm of torque. Transmission-wise, a five-speed manual or an automatic CVT gearbox will be available.
With no interior pics, it remains to be seen whether the Brio RS will receive the new BR-V-inspired dashboard layout like the facelifted Honda Mobilio. Currently, the entry-level Brio Satya A starts at a price of 118 million Rupiah (RM35,960). Moving up the range, the Brio S goes for 150 million Rupiah (RM45,720) and the Brio E is tagged at 158 million Rupiah (RM48,180)

There’s no way our government will approve imports or local production for the Brio. If they did, it would cost around RM50k, maybe even RM45k… and that would be EXTREMELY bad news for Proton and Perodua.
Other cars that we’ll never get include the VW Up and its cousins, the Toyota Aygo, Ford Ka, possibly the Nissan Note, Datsun GO, Hyundai Eon and a few others. What to do.
U sure boh u wan Datsun GO? That 1 is sure GO to graveyard pass the moving coffin, u noe.
another one is our market is not that big. i dont think it’s worth to bring so many model to compete in one segment in a small market. but if the manage to bring brio in..i think the price will be more or less like mirage.55k-60+k.
I don’t think Honda would want to market this car here anyway – even if Malaysia Gov. allows it. It simply does not go with the overall brand perception Honda is maintaining in Malaysia. Competing at the lowest price level does not go with its marketing strategy.
I do share the same thought with you. honda & toyota here in Malaysia focusing on middle to high income class. Sure if they bring low end model to Malaysia the image will be tarnished. People in Malaysia comparing things with brand rather than the price itself.
OMG…this is the Honda ugliest design so far…IRIZ look better than this shit…
yeahh, but this Brio’s front look very sturdy.
But Honda RV is better than Proton right?
Please, no sushis.
Go get yourself a new Tucson, Elantra or Sonata. Need to prime used 12 month old kimchi
Being part of asean car, honda should bring this brio into malaysia. After all, innova kijang is from indon. Hilux assembled in siam?? City parts from sawadee kap.
