Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has unveiled a comprehensive 10-model portfolio for the Indian market, comprising seven all-new vehicles alongside three refreshed CB350 variants featuring updated color options. Driven by a multi-pathway technology strategy—spanning internal combustion engines, electric mobility, and flex-fuel capabilities—the localized product surge is designed to plug major gaps in Honda’s premium offerings across adventure, cruiser, roadster, and urban commuter segments.
Leading the charge is the Honda ADV160, an adventure-styled maxi-scooter that becomes India’s first two-wheeler capable of running on E85 flex-fuel. In the motorcycle category, Honda expanded its adventure line with the XR300L and the rally-styled XR300 Rally, both featuring a locally manufactured 293.5cc oil-cooled engine and long-travel suspension to challenge popular dual-sport competitors. For cruiser enthusiasts, the Japanese manufacturer showcased the minimalist Rebel 300 and the parallel-twin Rebel 500, offering both traditional manual transmissions and Honda’s innovative E-Clutch technology for automatic clutch operation in heavy traffic.
Rounding out the ICE offerings is an India-exclusive single-cylinder CB500 heritage roadster, positioned above the CB350 range with a retro-sport design and modern electronic aids. On the electric front, Honda debuted the family-oriented QC3 EV scooter, which features a 3 kWh battery pack, a 151 km claimed range, and smart connectivity features. According to HMSI leadership, localized engineering and manufacturing across these new platforms will establish India as a core hub for Honda’s global supply network while giving Indian buyers broader access to world-class mobility options.
