Honda has launched the X-ADV in India, and unlike any other maxi-scooter in the market, it brings a unique blend of adventure and practicality. Its price puts it in direct competition with the BMW C 400 GT. Here’s how these two maxi-scooters stack up.
Honda X ADV vs BMW C 400 GT: engine and output
The Honda gets a much larger, 745cc parallel-twin engine
Right off the bat, the X-ADV has a substantial edge thanks to its larger 745cc twin-cylinder engine, which produces almost double the power and torque compared to the BMW. The Honda’s twin-cylinder setup may also offer a smoother experience overall. Unlike the BMW, which uses a CVT like most traditional scooters, the Honda features a 6-speed DCT gearbox.
Honda X ADV vs BMW C 400 GT: dimensions and weight
The X-ADV is 18kg heavier and has a much taller seat height
The larger engine adds to the X-ADV’s kerb weight, making it 18kg heavier than the BMW. While this maxi-scooter does get a slightly larger fuel tank, it doesn’t quite make up for the added bulk. Meanwhile, the C 400 GT offers a more accessible seat height.
