Honda Brio 2019 launch in Pakistan
Honda brio is also known as CITY CAR which is manufactured by Honda and sold in various countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, South Africa and India. First Brio was seen on road in 2011 and since then every year new model was introduced in public. Now Honda has planned to introduce its Brio 2019 in Pakistan too and after Honda N-One this will be Honda’s second local manufacturing in Pakistan. Honda has decided its Brio arrival in Pakistan because of many new entrants coming to Pakistani automobile industry and thus the price of this new prototype will be in accordance to its rivals in the market. We are expecting the launch of Honda Brio till August 2019 and most probably if the economic conditions of the country remain well without any further fluctuations in dollar exchange rates and our stock exchange then we hopes to see the newly modern designed Honda Brio on Pakistani roads too.

Major competitors
Major competitors of the Honda Brio are expected to be Suzuki Cultus, Suzuki Swift, Toyota Vitz and Mitsubishi Mirage. Suzuki Cultus VXR 2019 is available in 998 cc engine and a starting price around 14.11 lacs while Suzuki Swift is available in two variants and a starting price of 15.5 lacs. In the same way Toyota Vitz is available at a starting price of 15 lacs .All these cars are expected to give a real competition to Honda Brio but we hope to see a good feedback from the public of Pakistan.
Possible drawbacks of the car
Honda Brio might see delay in its launch process as per the ongoing situations of the country as we have already seen delay previously. It is offering a spacious cabin inside but it overlooks the quality of the material used for the interior and we could imagine an out dated interior with not a modernized look and stylish appearance. Secondly the exterior design offered by the car is a bit funky in its appearance which might not be loved by majority of people in Pakistan and this will not be taste of everyone. It also lacks some features like rear camera, parking sensors, brake assistance, power windows on back and rain sensors on wipers. It is a little costly than its competitors and the mantainence of the car will be a bit expensive and we are also not sure about the resale value of the car either it will give a good resale or not.
Expected price and launch date
Expected price of the car will be around 16 to 18 lacs Pakistani rupees and we hope to see its launch near the mid of 2019.
