Honda Brio Amaze - Top 5 features

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the Honda Brio Amaze is an extended version of the much-popular Honda Brio hatchback. In fact, this is quite obvious from the car’s name itself. While Honda updated the Brio earlier this year, it has been quite a while since the Brio Amaze got any kind of update, however, it is still mentioned on Honda Philippines’ official website.

In this story, we are going to talk about the top 5 features of the Brio Amaze. But before we get started, check out the Honda Brio Amaze price list-

Honda Brio Amaze Variants	Honda Brio Amaze Price
1.3 E MT	Php 668,000
1.3 S AT	Php 728,000
1.3 V Navi AT	Php 848,000

Engine

The only engine that has been mentioned in the Honda Brio Amaze specs sheet of all the three variants is the 1.3-litre petrol unit. Neither it is a very powerful engine nor has a turbocharger. However, Honda has tuned it brilliantly to match the car’s character and, thus, it works to give an optimal combination of performance and fuel efficiency.

How much power does this engine produce?

Ans. This 1.3-litre engine churns out a max power of 100 PS and 127 Nm of peak torque. Refer to the below table for the detailed engine specifications.

Specifications	Honda Brio Amaze
Type	SOHC i-VTEC 16-valve
Displacement	1339 cc
Max power output	100 PS at 6000 rpm
Max torque output	127 Nm at 4800 rpm
Transmission	5 MT / 5 AT

What’s the fuel efficiency one should expect to get?

Ans. As we mentioned above, it’s the tuning of the engine and the transmission that results in the perfect combination. Although the fuel efficiency or mileage depends on various factors, you should expect somewhere around 22-24 kmpl.

Interior space

Honda Brio, the hatchback, has always been appreciated for its spacious interior according to its segment. And since the Brio Amaze is an extended version of the Brio hatchback, it, too, has a spacious interior. To give you an idea about the space, the following are the car’s dimensions-

Length	3990 mm
Width	1680 mm
Height	1485 mm
Wheelbase	2405 mm
Ground clearance	150 mm
Curb weight	950 kg

While the interior space is indeed appreciable, unfortunately, we can’t say the same for the interior quality and materials used. There are various parts made up of hard plastic which kind of doesn’t feel up to the mark.

Following are some of the key interior features of Honda Brio Amaze-

• 7-in touch screen display with navigation
• Bluetooth, USB, AUX, support
• Steering wheel mounted controls
• 4 speakers
• Manual AC
• 4 bottle holders
• 3 cup holders

Boot capacity

It’s not just the seating area of the cabin that has got a good amount of space, it is also the boot. Thanks to the extended rear, the Honda Brio Amaze has a boot capacity of 400 litres which is quite good. In fact, it could give some more expensive sedans a run for their money.

Ride quality

To make sure the Brio Amaze qualifies to be a good family car, Honda has engineered it to provide a comfortable ride quality. It runs on 175 / 65 R14 tyres and has MacPherson Strut suspension with stabiliser at the front and Torsion Beam set up at the rear. Together they seem to be a pretty great combination for smooth ride quality.

The Brio Amaze is not just comfortable to be driven around in, it is also quite easy to drive as well. Its power steering is quite light which makes it easier to handle in the city traffic. Also, it has a short turning radius of 4.6 metres which means making U-turns and parking becomes less of a headache.

Cute front end

There’s a reason why we have put this point at last. Yes, it’s true that the Amaze Brio hasn’t received a design update for years now, however, perhaps, for some people, it might still be the perfect family car. Its front end is quite cute thanks to the headlight design, curved bonnet, front grille, and front bumper. And, believe it or not, when the Brio hatchback was first launched, it was adored for its looks, and the Brio Amaze is no different.

So those were the top 5 features of the Honda Brio Amaze that we think are still responsible for whatever sales it is managing. Do let us know your opinions regarding these features as well as about the Brio Amaze in general.

For us, we still wonder why Honda has kept this car in its product catalogue. If it is so important then why not work on it and give it a proper update, just like the Honda Brio.
