sedan/AMAZE was thought to be powered by a 3 cylinder 1.2L diesel engine
developed by eliminating one cylinder from Honda’s recently revealed 1.6L
i-Dtech eninge. But sources say the Brio sedan/AMAZE will have a 1.5L 4

The engine is believed to have
two different power outputs, so that Honda could use the same engine in its
range of cars. The lower power one which could deliver 75 Ps power could be
used for Brio and Brio sedan/AMAZE while the higher is likely to use a Variable
Geometry Turbo (VGT) to deliver 100 Ps power, could do the job for the City and
Brio based MPV.
