Honda introduces 10 new 2W cars in India! ADV 160, XR 300 Rally, Rebel 300 and more

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has unveiled an expanded portfolio of 10 two-wheelers for the Indian market, unveiling one of its biggest product launches in recent years. The new line-up includes seven all-new models and three updated models with new color options, spanning across multiple segments including scooter, roadster, cruiser, adventure motorcycle, electric mobility and flex-fuel technology. The company said the products will be launched in phases, with prices and detailed launch timelines to be announced closer to their respective market introductions. The biggest attraction is Honda’s multi-pathway strategy, which combines internal combustion engine (ICE), electric and flex-fuel technologies under one umbrella. Leading the scooter range is the new Honda ADV 160. Powered by a 160cc liquid-cooled engine, it will become India’s first scooter compatible with E85 fuel and will feature a segment-leading 8.1-litre fuel tank with 27 liters of under-seat storage. The company has also introduced the new CB 500, a retro-inspired roadster powered by a 501 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with oil cooler. It will be offered in three variants, which include alloy wheels, spoke tubeless wheels and a spoke tubeless version with graphics. Along with this, Honda refreshed its CB350, CB350C and CB350RS with new color options while retaining their existing mechanical packages. Honda has expanded its cruiser portfolio with the Rebel 300 and Rebel 500. The Rebel 300 is powered by a 286cc liquid-cooled engine and will be offered in standard and e-clutch variants. The larger Rebel 500 uses a 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine and will also be available with Honda’s e-clutch technology, which automatically manages clutch operation to make riding smoother in traffic. Adventure enthusiasts also get two new options in the form of XR 300L and XR 300 Rally. The XR 300L is aimed at riders looking for a lightweight dual-purpose motorcycle for both urban use and weekend trail riding. It is powered by a 293.5cc air-cooled engine with oil cooler. The XR 300 Rally is built on the same platform, but is designed for long-distance touring and mixed terrain riding, featuring rally-inspired styling and equipment. Honda also expanded its electric vehicle portfolio with the new QC3 family scooter. Equipped with a 3 kWh battery pack, the electric scooter claims an IDC-certified range of 151 km. It can be charged up to 80 percent in 2 hours and 40 minutes and is equipped with a 32-litre under-seat storage compartment, a 5-inch TFT display with smart key and connected features.
