Hyundai i10 was a great success on the Indian roads.But now it has a rival from an unexpected quarter the Honda Biro.Actually brio is of a higher class than the i10.But it is been priced close to that of the i10's.
Honda brio looks extremely sporty and funky.In this comparison it is the bigger car. But its bigger size doesn't mean it is spacious.Most of brio,s length has been used to carve out its unique design.The two part grille and oval headlights are impressive.
The slopping roof-line almost create a triangular rear window.if you look at brio from side you may see two triangles in roof line and character lines.
The most funky part is the all glass tailgate and triangular rear lights.Some may find this striking but for others this design would be hard to digest.
Hyundai i10 is quite blended with the eye.It is styled in a way that every category of drivers would love it.There is nothing funky about i10 and it is designed smartly.We love the hexagonal grill and stretched headlamps.though an old design it still looks fresh.
The interiors of the Honda Brio is not so fabulous.It is very ordinary and we can see that Honda has squeegeed it to reduce cost.The color combination of the dashboard is not so nice and the central console is pale.you wont get a music player even on the top variant.
there is no parcel tray and rear wash and wipe as standard.The rear power window switches are conventional ones and you only get a radio for entertainment.
But the older i10 has a far better interiors than the brio.The dash color is good and the central console is layed out properly.You get blue-tooth rear wash and wipe cd playerand rear parking sensors as standard on the top end variant.The plastic quality is also good in the i10.i10 is also the spacious of the two with 2800mm of wheelbase for the brios 2445.There is enough legroom and headroom on the front and backseat.But due to less width 3 passengers the rear would be a bit tight and the seets are a bit upright.i10 also gets a 250l boot to boast.
The brio is spacious on the front and it feels very wide.But at the back legroom is not sufficient but it is okay.The back seats have good with and good undertigh support.The seats are also cushioned well. The real problem would be the tiny boot space of just 150l.you can hardly put two shopping bags in brio's boot.
On the performance front brio is powered by a 1.2l 88 bhp engine while the i10's 1.2l engine makes 79 bhp.The brio reaches the 100km mark in just bellow 13 seconds so it is the fastest car in its class.But in city speeds brio is not the fastest.The rio has a free revving engine which is a delight to drive in highways but a little notchy in the city.You may have to constantly change the gears on the city.Biro's engine is well refined even at the redline the engine dosent feel noisy and the engine forces you to visit th redline which gives you plenty of adrenaline.
The i10 however is 10 bhp less than brio and it takes 15 seconds to reach 100km.But it is a peppy engine and you dont have to rev it up hard to get the power and driving i10 is comfy in cities.You require minimal gear changes in the i10.On refinement i10's engine is a bit noisy
Brio handles corners with like a sports car as it overs plenty of grip and confidence.You can do hard corners in triple digit speeds with ease.Brio also offers good ride at low speeds and high speeds.Only big bumps pierce through the suspension.
But i10 doesnt inspire much confidence at the corners as its rear tends to slide out at higher speeds in corners.i10 run out of grip easily due to its thin 13 inch tyres.i10 offers a comfy ride at lower speeds but at higher speeds bumps filter through the suspension.Hyundai has a long way to improve in suspension tuning.
So who is the winner the funky brio or the smart i10.
It looks like brio wins by a narrow lead because of its fun to drive nature and Honda's sensible suspension tuning.But in city i10 is the best suited one.
