Honda has unveiled its adventure-styled maxi-scooter, the ADV160, in India, featuring a flex-fuel, E85-compliant engine that will be manufactured locally. Building E85 flex-fuel compatibility directly into a new model, rather than retrofitting it later, signals Honda treating ethanol-blended fuel readiness as a standard requirement for new launches rather than an optional add-on.
The ADV160's adventure styling positions it in the growing maxi-scooter segment, competing for buyers who want off-road-inspired looks and a more commanding riding position than a conventional scooter offers, while retaining scooter-like ease of use.
We'll update this piece with confirmed India pricing and availability once Honda officially launches the ADV160.
