Honda sells 10,000 units of the Navi

Honda plans on making it available in 35 cities across the country.

The Honda Navi was undoubtedly the star attraction at the 2016 Auto Expo. The moto-scooter has been lauded for its quirky styling while staying true to the Honda DNA. Within 2 months of deliveries commencing, the Navi has crossed the 10,000 sales milestone. Based on the popular Honda Activa, the Navi retails for Rs 39,500 (ex-showroom Delhi). Reportedly, Honda plans on making it available in 35 cities across the country. As of now, the Navi is available in select cities including Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurgaon, Mumbai and Pune.

The NAVi is the first product of Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) to be conceived, designed, developed and validated by its Indian R&D team. The hybrid two-wheeler is built on the platform of the successful Honda Activa, with some alterations helping to provide it with a motorcycle's look. Powering the Navi is the same 109cc engine that also does duty in most of the Honda scooters. The motor continues to make 8PS at 7,000rpm and deliver a peak torque of 8.96Nm at 5,500rpm. However, thanks to the lighter built, it feels peppier than the Activa.

The Honda NAVi runs on 12" front and 10" rear wheels, each equipped with a 130mm drum-type braking unit, and gets tubeless tyres. It gets upside-down telescopic forks at the front and a hydraulic monoshock at the rear. It is available in five colour options — red, green, white, orange and black, and will soon be offered in three variants — Street, Adventure and Off-road.
