Honda’s latest urban scooter offering, the Honda
Grazia, has been revealed from a dealer yard. These images were seen on various
social media pages. Yesterday, the brand announced that the bookings for the
scooter would open tomorrow.
Going by the spy pictures surfaced online, the Honda
Grazia features lots of angular elements in its design language. The bodywork
is two-tone and uses a combination of blue and black body panels. The front
apron features twin headlights with indicators flanking at the top.
The
headlight ends with a distinct horizontal crease at the bottom, which gives it
an aggressive character. The instrumentation is an analogue-digital combo
cluster, with the choke lever mounted on the handlebar. The sides of the apron
also feature muscular creases for a sporty look.
There is a small storage compartment on the apron,
with a provision for a mobile charging port. It would be more convenient than
the underseat charging port. On the right, there’s a switch to unlock the seat
as well. The scooter employs telescopic fork at the front, and expect the rear
to use a single shock absorber. The black alloy wheels feature a disc brake at
the front, and the rear is likely to be a drum unit. This particular scooter
also comes with Combi-brake system for better braking characteristics.
The engine is likely the 125 cc unit sourced from
the Honda Activa 125. In the Activa, the 124.9 cc single cylinder mill generates
8.52 bhp of power at 6,500 rpm, and 10.54 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. If the
Grazia uses the 125cc engine, it would be Honda’s flagship scooter offering in
India. While the Activa 125 costs INR 61,869 (ex-showroom) for the DLX variant;
expect the Grazia to command a premium of approximately INR 3000 more.
