Honda Cars PH also implemented a price increase.

Honda Cars Philippines has updated the prices of almost all its models. The price increase showed a slight bump that ranges from Php 1,000 up to Php 3,000, depending on the model and variant.

The Mobilio and the Civic Type R are the only models that are not included in Honda Cars PH’s price adjustment. On the other hand, the 2021 City and facelifted CR-V still come with the same sticker prices that were announced during its launch.

Aside from the price adjustments, it seems that Honda Cars PH has dropped the Brio Amaze in its model lineup. Based on its official website, the said vehicle is no longer included in its price list.

As a review, the first-generation Brio Amaze has been in the local market since 2014, and it is offered as Honda’s challenger in the small city car segment. The Brio Amaze is the four-door subcompact sedan version of the Honda Brio hatchback.   

Honda released the second-generation Brio Amaze in 2018. The Japanese automaker renamed the vehicle to just Amaze, dropping the Brio name. Style-wise, the Amaze comes with a better exterior design as compared to its predecessor. The said car was launched in India, and it is offered with either a diesel or a gasoline engine.

With that in mind, is Honda Cars PH thinking of bringing in the second-gen Amaze? Could that be the reason why the Brio Amaze is no longer included on its official website? Well, Honda Cars PH has yet to make an official statement about the matter.

But, if the Amaze finds its way in the local market, it could undercut sales from other subcompact sedans such as the Mirage G4, Toyota Vios, Hyundai Reina, Kia Soluto, among others. In fact, the Amaze could even take some market share from its bigger sibling, the 2021 City.
