Honda Cars Philippines Launches 2019 Brio, Price Starts at P 585,000 (w/ 17 Photos, Brochure)

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. introduces its newest entry in the A-segment passenger car category: the all-new 2019 Brio. This is a response to customers who aspire to own and experience Honda’s signature sporty and practical characteristics in an affordable package.

The First Shipment of 2019 Honda Brios is Heading to the Philippines

With the all-new Honda Brio’s market launch just two weeks away, it’s understandable that Honda Cars Philippines is readying itself for potential buyers, and proof is this: the first export shipment is heading this way.

The Second-Generation Honda Brio is Arriving in April

Remember the cute orange concept car that Honda showed off at the Philippine International Motor Show last year? Everyone knew it was a signal that the all-new, second-generation Brio is arriving soon. What people didn’t know is “soon” means this April.

Second-Generation Brio to be Made in Indonesia

Just like most other Hondas, the Brio was exported from the carmaker’s manufacturing hub in Thailand. Well, it seems that there’s a bit of a twist when it comes to the second-generation Brio. It’s now coming out of Indonesia.

Ladies and Gentlemen, This is the 2019 Honda Brio

Remember the Honda Small RS Concept shown last April? Well, here it finally is in production form: ladies and gentlemen, this is the 2019 Brio sub-compact hatchback.

It looks like Honda’s ready to “RS” everything. The “Road Sailing” badge, introduced as the top-of-the-line and often sportiest variant of the Jazz, Mobilio, and Civic will now find its way onto the brand’s smallest passenger car, the Brio.

How much are you willing to pay for a sportier body style? That’s the thousand peso question thrown to be would-be car buyers each and every time they cross shop between a sedan and a hatchback. Normally, the hatchback, seen as the sportier of the two body styles, commands a slight premium over the more practical but slightly duller sedan. For Honda though, the answer is quite different: it’s forty thousand pesos less in favor of the five-door. Yes, separating the top-line Brio and Brio Amaze (see review here) is a sizable P 40,000 spread. The question is: are the savings worth it?

The barrier has been broken. The mold, reshaped. The standard, raised. Honda’s all-new wonder twins, the Brio and Brio Amaze, have impressed during its Tagaytay Highlands sneak peek last August before a grand unveil at the 5th Philippine International Motor Show. Now, a full two months later, they’ve finally thrown what’s left of the sub-B segment rule book out the window as they passed their first grueling test with flying colors.

PIMS 2014: Honda Reveals Brio and Brio Amaze Pricing (and Its Racing Heritage)

In a page seemingly lifted from their 43rd Tokyo Motor Show 2013 exhibit, Honda Cars Philippines decided to show off the brand’s racing heritage by bringing over not one but two motorsports inspired exhibits: the NSX Concept and the Japan Super Formula open-wheeled race car. Of course, they decided to use the Philippine International Motor Show to finally unveil their all-new Brio and Brio Amaze B-segment car.

The legendary Soichiro Honda once said, “A company is most clearly defined not by its people or its history, but by its products.” Today, the car company that bears his name, Honda, is known for putting engineering excellent above all else. In every segment they enter, they refused to be the copycat; instead they take the road less traveled in the pursuit of making their products uniquely their own. Having lost their engineering way in the early part of this decade, Honda is now starting to get back into the groove. The all-new Accord, City, and Jazz are all definitive signs of an engineering resurgence. And now, that continues down market with the introduction of the all-new Brio and Brio Amaze.

Honda Cars Philippines is aiming to set the standard in the sub-compact sedan segment with the launch of the all-new City. Penned under Honda’s new design language—Exciting H Design—the all-new City is a mix of angular lines, creases, and curves that look to elevate Honda back into the forefront of design. Beyond the design, the all-new City also presents new convenience features and a revised powertrain for improved power and efficiency.
