Honda Brio Launch

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. launched the first-generation Honda Brio in the country during the Philippine International Motor Show in September 2014, three years after its debut in Thailand in 2011. It offered the local market a practical car due to its fair interior space, affordable pricing, and small 1.3-liter engine that produced 98 hp and 127 Nm of torque. These are the characteristics of an ideal vehicle for young individuals.

As for the current second-generation model, it didn't take as long before it arrived in Honda's local lineup in April 2019. The next-gen version comes with a sportier appeal thanks to its bolder character lines and the option for the RS variant which includes exclusive body kits that add sportiness and aggressiveness to the overall design. It is safe to say that the small hatchback is one of the best-looking vehicles in the local market for the price.

The facelift of the second-generation model then debuted for the local market on July 13, 2023. It was introduced with four variants: the RS Black Top, RS, V, and S. 

Honda Brio Exterior

The Honda Brio features aggressive exterior details despite its relatively small size. Its 2025 update of the model features a bolder look compared to the pre-facelifted second-gen model. 

Standard on the RS trim are LED headlamps, while the V and S trims get halogens. LED taillights are available for all variants. Other features present on the Brio, at least for the higher-spec trims are a power-folding side mirror, a tailgate spoiler, and LED fog lamps.

Inside, the Honda Brio gets a manual air-conditioning system as standard. The driver is then provided with an analog gauge cluster, a digital trip meter, a keyless entry system, etc.

Technology & Safety Features

Platform & Chassis
