Honda Hornet 2.0: What’s new?
The Honda Hornet has been around for quite some time, and this 2.0 model was launched in 2020. Since then, it has remained largely unchanged. This 2025 update has brought along some feature additions, such as a 4.2-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity and app support. The display is similar to the one found on the latest Hondas, such as the Activa, Dio and SP125. Another notable update is the presence of a traction control system.
Now that the bike complies with the stringent OBD2B emission norms, its 184.40cc engine produces 17hp and 15.7Nm, a decline of 0.2hp and 0.2Nm. Otherwise, the mill is unchanged, mated to a 5-speed gearbox with slip and assist clutch.
All these changes have driven the price up by a fair bit. The 2025 Hornet 2.0 costs Rs 1.57 lakh, an increase of Rs 14,000 over the outgoing model, which was available at Rs 1.43 lakh.
