Thread: Honda Brio

curve extends from the door into the dashboard and envelops the driver and passenger up front, a feature that has so far only been found in larger Audis. The huge options list includes a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlights, keyless entry/ignition, different sound systems, MMI etc. Q3s with the optional Audi drive select offers Comfort, Auto, Dynamic and Efficiency modes. Efficiency mode adjusts cruise control and air-conditioning to maximise economy.

There's a plethora of safety options. Side Assist warns you if there is a vehicle in your blind spot while the Active Lane Assist steers if you start drifting out of your lane. But the pick of the lot has to be the optional Park Assist feature that actually steers the Q3 into a parking space without scratching any surrounding cars or obstacles. It's a feature seen on the new VW Passat.



Honda has launched the Brio hatchback in Thailand and these are pics of the final production version. The hatch is expected to be launched in India in September though cars will soon be at Indian dealers. The slightly smaller than Swift sized hatchback will be powered by the same 1.2-litre 4-cylinder i-VTEC from the Jazz producing 90PS. The interiors look neat if slightly quirky and Honda promises segment changing space efficiency in the Brio.

The Brio features a simple but efficient interior with a quirky centre aircon vent.
