<p>Civic Type R Price in India, if launched, would exceed Rs 50 lakh on-road due to its CBU status.

Exclusive: Honda Civic Type R Spotted in India — Is a Launch Finally on the Cards?

Hype about the Honda Civic Type R  rises again as the FL5 model is spotted with TC plates in India, renewing hope for a possible CBU launch.

<p><strong>-The 2026 Honda CB125R launch in India remains uncertain,&nbsp;largely due to its premium positioning in the segment.<br>-Globally, the bike gets four new colour options.<br>-Engine remains unchanged. </strong></p><p>Honda has updated the CB125R with four new colour options: Matt Rock Gray,&nbsp;Matt Lucent Silver Metallic, Zefiro Blue Metallic, and Matt Pearl Diaspro Red.&nbsp;What makes these colours stand out is the contrasting CB125R branding on the side shrouds,&nbsp;paired with negative-style Wing emblems on the fuel tank. It is to be noted that&nbsp;Honda has only added new colour options, while the engine remains unchanged. </p><p>Although the update adds&nbsp;to Honda’s global entry-level lineup, the bike’s launch in India remains uncertain,&nbsp;largely due to its premium positioning. Premium features such as liquid&nbsp;cooling and Showa USD forks will make the CB125R fall under a higher price bracket,&nbsp;making it unsuitable for India’s price-conscious commuter buyers.</p><h2><strong>2026 Honda CB125R: Engine and Hardware</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/honda/">Honda</a> hasn’t altered the CB125R’s technical package. The bike continues to extract power from a 125cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine&nbsp;that produces a maximum power output of 15bhp. Transmission duties are carried out by a five-speed unit.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/track-test/honda-cb-125-hornet-wins-bike-of-the-year---autox-awards-2025-122155/">Honda CB 125 Hornet Wins Bike of the Year - autoX Awards 2025</a></p><p>Up front, the bike features 41mm Showa Separate Function Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks, while the rear uses a non-adjustable monoshock. Stopping&nbsp;power comes from a 296mm hubless floating front disc with a&nbsp;radial-mount Nissin four-piston calliper, and a 220mm rear&nbsp;disc with a single-piston calliper. The brakes are&nbsp;supported by two-channel ABS. Other highlights include 816mm seat height, 130 kg kerb weight,&nbsp;140mm ground clearance, and a 5-inch TFT display. </p><h2><strong>Other Highlights</strong></h2><p>Honda introduced the 2026 <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/honda/cb750-hornet/">CB750 Hornet</a> for the global market with multiple updates, including an optional E-Clutch system.

Honda has updated the CB125R with four new colour options: Matt Rock Gray, Matt Lucent Silver Metallic, Zefiro Blue Metallic, and Matt Pearl Diaspro Red.

<p>Honda’s third-generation <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/amaze/">Amaze</a> has recorded a 5-star rating for adult occupant protection and a 4-star rating for child occupant protection in the Bharat NCAP crash tests, strengthening its position in the compact sedan segment. The sedan secured 28.33 out of 32 points for adult safety and 40.81 out of 49 for child safety after being tested under frontal offset and side impact conditions. </p><p>These tests included detailed assessments of vehicle structure, restraint systems, and impact performance. The Amaze achieved 14.33 out of 16 in the frontal offset test and 14 out of 16 in the side impact evaluation, leading to a combined dynamic score of 23.81 out of 24.</p>

</p>
<p>Inside the cabin, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/">Honda</a> has equipped the Amaze with six airbags covering the knee, side chest, and pelvis sections. Standard systems include electronic stability control, ISOFIX mounts for child seats, seatbelt pretensioners with load limiters, and reminders for every occupant. The inclusion of adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist supports safer everyday driving and helps reduce the impact of driver error in city and highway conditions.</p>
<h2><strong>Honda Amaze: Engine</strong></h2>
<p>The Amaze is powered by a 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine that produces 89bhp at 6,000rpm and 110Nm at 4,800rpm. Buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 7-speed CVT automatic. The front-wheel-drive layout supports predictable handling in mixed driving conditions and assists with steady power delivery for urban and intercity travel.</p>

<p>Compared to the previous model, the new Amaze brings higher safety scores due to the addition of standard ESC and side airbags. The latest version aligns with UN GTR No. 8 and AIS protocols, meeting updated Bharat NCAP requirements. </p>

Honda Amaze Scores 5-Star Bharat NCAP Crash Test Rating: Watch Video

The new Honda Amaze scores 5-star adult and 4-star child safety ratings in Bharat NCAP tests, with strong frontal and side impact results.

<p>Honda has revealed the 2026 CB750 Hornet for global buyers with updates focused on daily use, simple operation and wider appeal. The most important change is the optional E-Clutch system, which lets riders shift gears without using the clutch lever. This makes the bike easier to handle in traffic and on long rides, as it removes the need to manage the clutch manually. </p><p>Honda has also added four new colour options, including two black-based and two grey-based choices. The streetfighter look stays close to the current Hornet with small visual changes.

2026 Honda CB750 Hornet Globally Revealed with E-Clutch and New Colours

The 2026 Honda CB750 comes with an optional E-Clutch, new dual-tone colours, the same 755cc engine and added tech features for daily use.

<p>I am at a stage in life when a phone call from friends or family means one of two things - either an invitation to a major life event or news of someone’s passing. In such moments, what you need is quiet reliability. And that’s exactly what the Honda Elevate offered - not excellence, but presence.</p>
<p>The Elevate we have is the Signature Black Edition, a variant that looks purposeful but not particularly special. The ‘Black Edition’ emblem on the tailgate and ‘Signature Edition’ badge on the front fender feel like afterthoughts rather than neatly integrated touches. Still, the tall bonnet, massive grille, and sharply cut LED headlamps lend it a confident stance. Other drivers tend to make way without the need for aggressive honking or light flashing - always a welcome trait on Indian roads.</p>
<p>Inside, the spacious cabin proved to be one of the Elevate’s highlights. A recent long drive from Chandigarh to Delhi reaffirmed how roomy and comfortable it feels, with ample headroom and legroom for all passengers. The boot, too, is impressively accommodating - easily swallowing a large suitcase, three cabin bags, and two office backpacks.</p>
<p>The drive experience, however, leaves much to be desired. The 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine feels underpowered and, surprisingly for a Honda, quite noisy. You really have to wring it out to maintain expressway speeds, which gets tiring over time. The vague and notchy gearshifts only add to the frustration, especially in city traffic, where low-speed pickup feels lethargic and you’re constantly rowing through gears.</p><p>
  Ride comfort is acceptable on smooth stretches, but sharp bumps unsettle the rear, which tends to bounce about - not ideal for passengers with sensitive backs. The ADAS suite works well in most cases, offering gentle steering and braking assistance. But in tight city lanes, it can be overly sensitive - even a pedestrian’s sudden flinch can trigger an emergency stop.<br>
  The ‘rhythmic’ ambient lighting with seven selectable colours sounds interesting on paper, but the execution feels cheap. Brightness can’t be adjusted, and the control module is oddly positioned on the dashboard beside the steering column - another afterthought.</p>
<p>One curious observation: after a spell of rain, water pooled on the contoured bonnet and stayed put even at 100km/h. It’s worth keeping an eye out for, as standing water could cause rust over time.</p><p>
  In the end, the Elevate isn’t about flair or excitement. It’s about quiet dependability - a car that doesn’t excel in any one area but never lets you down either. Like a true friend, it’s there when you need it most, and now it’s heading into the next chapter with Shivank, who’s taking it on a road trip to the hills. Let’s see how the Elevate fares when the tarmac turns twisty. </p>

Honda Elevate Long Term Report: Month 1 - A Friend Indeed

In a month of living with the Honda Elevate, its greatest strength has become clear: not performance or flair, but the kind of quiet reliability you can count on without question.

<p>
    The latest entrant in the 125cc motorcycle segment, the Honda CB 125 Hornet, is already creating quite a buzz (pun fully intended). In a space crowded with sensible commuters, the Hornet stands out as a 125cc motorcycle with real street presence and a proper attitude.</p>

<p>Visually, the CB 125 Hornet is a stunner. It takes design inspirations from its bigger Hornet siblings. Its sharp lines, muscular bodywork, and a purposeful stance can easily make you mistake it for a 200cc or even a 250cc machine. The gold-anodised USD fork, sculpted fuel tank, contoured seat, and compact tail section further add to its premium appeal. The paint finish and build quality are top-notch – easily among the best we’ve seen from Honda in recent years. The bright colour on our test unit looked particularly striking, giving the bike plenty of visual flair, even when it was parked alongside larger-capacity motorcycles.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/honda-cb125-hornet-launched-in-india-at-rs-112-lakh-121395/">Honda CB125 Hornet Launched in India at Rs 1.12 Lakh</a></p>

<p>Powering the CB 125 Hornet is a 124cc single-cylinder engine, which produces 11bhp and 11.2Nm of torque and is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. On paper, these numbers may seem underwhelming, but on the road, the bike feels peppy, smooth, and responsive – exactly what you’d expect from an smart urban commuter. The throttle response is crisp, and the engine revs cleanly, making city commutes effortless and fun. At 124kg, the Hornet is light, agile, and quite flickable, making negotiating traffic or tight corners an easy affair.</p>

<p>During the timing runs at the BIC, the Hornet surprised us all by holding its own. It managed a lap time of 1:28.0, even edging out the more powerful Kawasaki KLX230 – an impressive feat for a 125cc commuter. Sure, it’s not built for the track, but it exhibited impressive poise, balance, and composure that exceeded expectations. The brakes are good enough to inspire confidence, and the chassis is tight and predictable, encouraging you to push harder. The CB 125 Hornet is going to shake things up in the sporty 125 cc commuter space, taking the fight to the likes of the TVS Raider 125 and the Hero Xtreme 125R, both of which have done well in the Indian market. A 125 cc commuter showdown then is just what the doctor ordered. Time to make a few calls, then.</p>

<p>In the real world, all this means a motorcycle that’s not only fun to ride but also comfortable and practical. The ergonomics, too, are spot on, and so are the refinement levels – buttery smooth and vibration-free.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/hero-glamour-x-125-vs-honda-cb125-hornet-spec-comparison-whats-different-121545/">Hero Glamour X 125 vs Honda CB125 Hornet Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p>

<p>At the end of the day, the Honda CB 125 Hornet makes a strong case for itself. It’s stylish, refined, well-equipped, and genuinely fun to ride. It might not be the fastest 125cc machine on the road, but it’s easily one of the most desirable. So, if you want a commuter that looks stylishly sharp, feels premium, and is relatively easy on the pocket, the CB Hornet 125 is the one to beat.

Honda CB 125 Hornet Wins Bike of the Year - autoX Awards 2025

Visually, the Honda CB 125 Hornet is a stunner. Its sharp lines, muscular bodywork, and a purposeful stance can easily make you mistake it for a 200cc or even a 250cc machine.

<p>
    The Activa is a well-known name in the scooter market, and deservedly so. After all, it has shattered various sales records for Honda. So, when Honda decided to launch an electric version of the Activa – the Activa e – we expected it to deliver on all fronts. However, that was not the case. It looks smart, feels solid, and oozes brilliant quality just like other Honda products, but beyond that, things begin to feel rather underwhelming.</p>

<p>The Activa e comes with two swappable batteries, which are designed well, and don’t weigh a lot. However, the problem is that they can’t be charged at home – there is no way to plug in and charge the scooter or the batteries. The only option is to swap the batteries.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/new-honda-activa-e-and-qc1-first-ride-review-too-little-too-late-2025-india-autox-120396/">New Honda Activa E And QC1 | First Ride Review | Too Little Too Late? | 2025 India | autoX</a></p><p>On top of it, Honda is only offering the scooter with a subscription-based Battery as a Service (BaaS) model, meaning owners will have to pay a monthly fee for the batteries. Now, considering the Activa e is not what you’d call a competitively priced offering, the added battery subscription makes things worse. Had it been priced close to ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom), the value equation would have made more sense.</p>

</div>

<p>The swappable battery setup also eats into the very thing most scooter buyers care about – storage. The under-seat storage space is minimal, leaving little room for storing everyday items. The suspension is also disappointing – it feels overly stiff for everyday city riding. And the odd weight distribution also makes it feel a bit nervous around corners. You never get that planted, confident feeling when the scooter shifts its weight from side to side.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/bharat-mobility-expo-2025-honda-activa-e-launched-at-rs-117-lakh-119590/">Bharat Mobility Expo 2025: Honda Activa e Launched at Rs 1.17 Lakh</a></p>

<p>On the plus side, its 7-inch digital instrument cluster is one of its best features. It’s not a touchscreen, but that’s not a problem at all, given how smooth and responsive its interface is. The buttons on the handlebar are also quite intuitive. The unit displays a wealth of information without cluttering the screen. The Activa e also comes with keyless operation, which is a nice touch; however, it’s more of a novelty than a real advantage.

Honda Activa e at autoX Awards: Best Bikes of 2025 Ranked

The Honda Activa e's 7-inch digital instrument cluster is one of its best features. It’s not a touchscreen, but that’s not a problem at all, given how smooth and responsive its interface is.

<p>Honda showcased its first-ever electric motorcycle at EICMA: the WN7 (Wind Naked 7). The first full-production,&nbsp;full-size electric motorcycle marks a major step in the company’s global shift toward electric mobility under its new EV branding. It features a compact, liquid-cooled electric&nbsp;motor with an integrated inverter, a frameless chassis, and a horizontal&nbsp;LED light bar (a feature that will be the identity of Honda's future e-bikes going forward). <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/honda/">Honda</a> will introduce its&nbsp;full-size electric flagship&nbsp;in a phased manner across select global markets.&nbsp;There is no official confirmation, but the WN7 is unlikely to arrive in India.&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Honda WN7: Motor, Performance, and Charging</strong></h2><p>The WN7 packs a compact, liquid-cooled electric motor with an integrated inverter. The top 18 kW version produces 50kW (about 67bhp) and 100Nm. The 9.3kWh fixed lithium-ion battery delivers a claimed 140 kilometres&nbsp;range on the top-end model, and 153 kilometres for the 11 kW variant.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/honda-cb1000gt-debuts-at-eicma-2025-specs-design-and-india-launch-details-122098/">Honda CB1000GT Debuts at EICMA 2025: Specs, Design, and India Launch Details</a></p><p>The WN7 supports both Type 2 standard charging and CCS2 fast charging. A fast charger can top up the battery from 20% to 80% in just about 30 minutes.&nbsp;The top speed stands at 129km/h for the top-end model.</p><h2><strong>Honda WN7: Chassis and Features</strong></h2><p>The WN7 ditches the conventional frame, using its centrally located aluminium battery as the structural core. Both the front head pipe and rear pivot bracket&nbsp;connect directly to this power unit, reducing weight and allowing a more compact design. With the battery mounted at the center, the bike gains concentrated mass and agile, precise handling.</p><p>The Honda WN7 comes fitted with premium hardware and rider-focused features. Up front, there’s a 43mm Showa USD fork, while the rear has a monoshock. Stopping power comes from&nbsp;Nissin dual-piston callipers with 296mm discs at the front and a mono-piston calliper&nbsp;with a 256mm disc at the rear.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/honda-outlier-ev-concept-bike-straight-out-of-a-sci-fi-movie-122052/">Honda Outlier EV Concept Bike: Straight Out of a Sci-Fi Movie!</a></p><p>Thanks to its IMU-linked cornering ABS, the WN7 keeps braking stable through turns,&nbsp;with settings easily adjusted on the 5-inch TFT screen. Four selectable modes (Standard, Sport, Rain, and Econ),&nbsp;a deceleration selector on the left handlebar (enabling to choose the strength of regenerative&nbsp;braking from Level 0 to 3), and convenience features such as Forward/Reverse Walking&nbsp;Speed Mode for easy manoeuvring in tight spaces and Selectable Speed Limit Assist (SSLA)&nbsp;for increased safety, are among other notable features. </p>

<p>Japanese motorcycle giant Honda showcased a bunch of products at EICMA 2025, but the model that&nbsp;truly stole the spotlight was the all-new CB1000GT. Built on the robust and proven platform of the flagship CB1000 Hornet,&nbsp;the CB1000GT adds a mix of performance and touring comfort to Honda’s premium lineup. In India, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/honda/">Honda</a> already made headlines earlier this year by launching the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/honda/cb1000-hornet/">CB1000 Hornet SP</a> at a price of Rs 12.36 lakh (ex-showroom) in May 2025, paving the way for more high-performance models like the CB1000GT. Let's take a closer look&nbsp;at the brand-new offering from Honda,&nbsp;which combines sportbike aggression with true touring comfort and capability.</p><h2><strong>Honda CB1000GT: Design</strong></h2><p>The CB1000GT focuses on both aerodynamic&nbsp;efficiency and rider-focused comfort. The sharply angled front fairing directs airflow smoothly around the rider, while the contoured&nbsp;side panels and integrated pannier mounts add to the clean and&nbsp;purposeful stance. The inspiration from Honda’s CB series heritage, led by the CB1000 Hornet,&nbsp;is evident in the CB1000GT, but there are subtle design tweaks for touring.&nbsp;The robust fuel tank, seamless body contours, and tapered tail reflect the bike’s sporty performance and premium character.</p><h2><strong>Honda CB1000GT: Engine and Hardware</strong></h2><p>The Honda CB1000GT draws its power from the same 1,000cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine as the CB1000 Hornet; however, the unit has been specifically re-tuned to prioritise mid-range torque.&nbsp;Due to this, the output figures are slightly lower (147bhp and 102 Nm at 11,000rpm and 8,750rpm, respectively), with revised gear ratios for touring.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2026-kawasaki-ninja-zx-10r-unveiled-at-eicma-2025-with-updated-aerodynamics-122097/">2026 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Unveiled At EICMA 2025 with Updated Aerodynamics</a></p><p>For true touring capability, the CB1000GT features an extended subframe and swingarm to comfortably accommodate a passenger and luggage. It remains accessible and stable,&nbsp;thanks to its manageable 825mm seat height, 133mm of ground clearance, and 229 kg kerb weight.</p><p>The CB1000GT comes equipped with Showa EERA&nbsp;semi-active suspension that automatically adjusts damping using data from a six-axis IMU. It also boasts a full-colour TFT display with Honda RoadSync, an adjustable windscreen, and a full suite of electronic aids, including Cornering ABS&nbsp;and multiple riding modes. Premium touring features like a quickshifter, heated grips,&nbsp;cruise control, and detachable side panniers are standard, making it a perfect combination of performance, comfort, and convenience.</p><h2><strong>Honda CB1000GT: Will it Come to India?</strong></h2><p>The Honda CB1000GT is set to hit the roads in early 2026, with UK prices starting at approximately £11,999.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/bsa-thunderbolt-adv-unveiled-at-eicma-2025-with-334cc-liquid-cooled-engine-122096/">BSA Thunderbolt ADV Unveiled at EICMA 2025 with 334cc Liquid-cooled Engine</a></p><p>In India, bookings are anticipated to open in late 2025 or early 2026,&nbsp;with completely built-up (CBU) imports expected to carry a price tag of around Rs 13–15 lakh (ex‑showroom).</p>
