After a fairly quiet 2024, Honda is going to be a bit active in 2025. The Japanese manufacturer had already announced a few OBD2B updates of its popular motorcycles and showcased its electric scooters. So, what exactly is in store at its pavilion at Bharat Mandapam.
The final piece of the jigsaw puzzle for Honda’s electric scooters for India remains the pricing. This is set to take place at the Auto Expo with the Activa e: being the more premium and feature-rich e-scooter of the two. Kitted with swappable battery tech, fancy colour TFT screen and an elegant body, the Activa e: will go on sale in just three cities to begin with. The QC1 on the other hand will be available in a lot more cities with phase-wise availability being on the cards. Here’s how you can book the e-scooters and where the two will be available.
The Auto Expo would also be a great time for Honda to at least show off its new large-capacity motorcycles that it will retail through the Big Wing dealership network. We are expecting Honda to roll in the CB750 Hornet, the X-ADV adv-cum-maxi-scooter, the next-gen CB650R and CBR650R as well as the large CB1000 Hornet. The arrival of these five was teased at a dealer event, soon after the unveiling of the Activa e: and QC1. More details on the big Hondas in this story.
Honda took the leap by becoming the first motorcycle manufacturer to launch an E85-compatible motorcycle in India: the CB300F Flex Fuel. While the motorcycle isn’t all new, the updates to the motorcycle to make it future fuels compatible is to be noted. We can expect a few more Honda offerings to get the tech and their debuts too could take place at Auto Expo 2025.
