The Honda ADV160 has been getting attention since it was shown in India. As Honda has officially announced its price. The scooter costs Rs 1.70 lakh ex-showroom in Bengaluru and its on a slightly different idea in the market in this category. The biggest talking point is its flex- fuel technology. The ADV160 can run on petrol as well as ethanol blends of up to E85. Honda has opened its booking through its RedWing and BigWing dealerships.
According to the price a lot of people will think that it is quite expensive from the other options like Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160. The Hero Xoom 160 costs around Rs 1.43 lakh, while the Yamaha Aerox 155 is priced around Rs 1.45 lakh to Rs 1.48 lakh. The ADV160 is asking people to spend more. The reason behind its price is the flex-fuel setup. While many scooters are designed for E20 fuel, the ADV160 can handle much higher ethanol blends, going up to E85. This is a more advanced setup and adds overall costs.
The ADV160 uses a 156.93cc liquid cooled single cylinder engine with a V- Matic CVT gearbox. The international version makes around 16.3 PS of power and 14.9 Nm of torque. Honda has not confirmed this yet that the Indian version will have the same output. At 133 kg, the scooter should be fairly manageable for everyday riding. Its 780mm seat height should also work for many riders, while the 165mm ground clearance can be useful on Indian roads, especially while on the roads having speed breakers and pot holes. The scooter gets an 8.1-litre fuel tank which should be enough for regular rides.

Honda has given the ADV160 telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. It is not an overly complicated setup, but it should help keep the ride comfortable on normal roads. The scooter gets a 14-inch front wheel and 13-inch rear wheel. Disc brakes are offered on both wheels, along with single-channel ABS. Honda has also added Honda Selectable Torque Control, or HSTC. This feature can help control wheel slip and could be particularly useful when the road is wet or slippery.
Honda has also tried to make the ADV160 useful for everyday life. It gets a 5-inch colour TFT display with Honda RoadSync. The system allows riders to connect their smartphones and access features such as navigation, calls and SMS alerts. It also consists of a smart key and full LED lighting. But one feature that regular scooter users will probably appreciate most is the 27-litre underseat storage.
Honda has already started accepting bookings for the ADV160. Buyers can book the scooter with a Rs 5,000 through token amount through Honda’s official website or by visiting an authorised RedWing or BigWing dealership. Deliveries are expected to begin from mid-October 2026. The scooter is being manufactured in India, which should also help Honda with production.
The Honda ADV160 is an interesting addition to India’s scooter market. It looks different, has useful features, offers plenty of storage and brings flex fuel technology to the list. At Rs 1.70 lakh, it is definitely not a budget scooter. Honda is clearly targeting buyers who are willing to pay more for something that feels a little more special.
