Honda ADV 160 derives power from a liquid-cooled engine producing 15.8 hp and it features a ground clearance of 165 mm
Honda could finally be preparing to bring the ADV 160 to India with a report suggesting that the company is currently working on localising the premium maxi-scooter for the domestic market. While an official announcement is yet to be made, speculations indicate that a launch could take place before the end of 2026 or during the early months of 2027.
Unlike traditional scooters sold in India, the ADV 160 has been developed with an adventure-based approach. The model features a tall windscreen, upright riding position, long single-piece seat, muscular bodywork and a distinctive beak-style front section. Honda has also equipped it with 165 mm of ground clearance. The scooter rides on a 14-inch front wheel and a 13-inch rear wheel wrapped in tubeless tyres measuring 110/80-14 and 130/70-13 respectively.
Power comes from Honda’s latest 156.9 cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder eSP+ engine featuring four valves and fuel injection. The motor develops 15.8 hp at 8,500 rpm and 14.7 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm coupled with a CVT automatic transmission. The ADV 160 also benefits from Honda’s ACG starter system and idle stop technology.

Dimensions further highlight its premium positioning. The scooter measures 1,950 mm in length, 763 mm in width and 1,196 mm in height while riding on a 1,324 mm wheelbase. Seat height stands at 780 mm and kerb weight is rated at 133 kg. An 8.1-litre fuel tank should provide respectable touring range while real-world fuel efficiency is expected to hover around the 45 kmpl mark.
It will take on Hero Xoom 160, TVS Ntorq 150 and Yamaha Aerox 155 in India. Feature content is one of the strongest aspects of the ADV 160 as Honda offers a fully digital LCD instrument cluster, keyless Smart Key system, USB charging socket, adjustable windscreen, full LED lighting package and a large under-seat storage compartment.
