Seen here are more images of the Honda Brio facelift in India, hinting that the carmaker has started production of the updated Brio at its Greater Noida manufacturing plant. The Brio facelift is expected to launch in the coming weeks with a host of updates.

Honda Brio facelift VXMT India spied — The Honda Brio facelift will continue with the 1.2-liter petrol engine developing 88 PS and 109 Nm of torque.

On the outside, the Brio facelift gets a new black grille with a chrome underline and a new front bumper, both of which are inspired by the Honda Amaze facelift. The top-end VX-MT seen in this image carries on with the same alloy wheel pattern as the pre-facelift model. While there are no changes at the back (the Indian-spec Honda Brio facelift will not get a rear wiper), the Brio facelift does get an updated interior.

The dashboard is now shared with the Amaze facelift and Honda BR-V. This top-end variant of the Brio facelift gets an all-black dashboard with black seat upholstery, though the lower variants could get a dual-tone black-and-beige color theme.
