I have booked the Honda ADV160. At the time of booking, the showroom claimed that the on-road price would not exceed Rs. 1.80 lakh. However, Honda has now officially announced that the ex-showroom price itself is around Rs. 1.70 lakh. At this price, does the ADV160 offer good value for money considering what Honda is offering? Also, does the Indian-spec version come with gas-charged rear shocks? I could not see any gas-charged units in the images of the Indian variant. Please advise.
Our advice here would be to keep your booking intact for now and reserve your slot for the ADV160, but talk to the dealership and make it clear that you will need a thorough test ride before you make the full payment. On paper, the ADV160 does offer you a lot of features, tech, practicality and performance but buying such an expensive scooter without riding it first wouldn't be smart. If you don't seem convinced after the test ride, then you can always ask for a full refund.
I was planning for a scooter, and my options were Burgman Street, Access and Activa, but I got to know that Honda is going to launch its maxi scooter ADV160 in India by the end of 2026 or early 2027. I decided to wait and go for it as I am very impressed with its looks and performance (seen some reviews of the Thailand and Philippines versions). Autocar team, can you help with whether it is worth the wait in terms of value for money, city and highway riding comfort and ownership?
There's no telling if a future product will meet your individual expectations regarding value for money, riding experience and overall peace of mind from an ownership standpoint. If you are interested in the Honda ADV160, we'd recommend you wait until media and ownership reviews are both out before you go ahead with your purchase to make an informed decision.If you are not comfortable with that, then pick between the proven options you have shortlisted above by taking a test ride of each scooter.
