Honda has come up with an updated version of Dio with new colour options and body graphics. It was not a lot of time ago when the company had launched the new Activa 3G in the country. Notably, the upgrades are purely based on body and styling, and there are no changes made in Dio's technical configuration. Industry experts believe that the earlier reports from Honda, which suggested that it will make 15 launches by the year 2015 will soon come true, and turn out to be a fruitful trend for the company.
The upgrades are quite funky and make the scooter look fresh, helping Honda to attract the Indian youth. The scooter got a brand new sporty logo, new stickers and also new and improved side panel graphics. The Dio will be available in Jazz Blue Metallic, Candy Palm Green, Sports Red and Black colours with an all-new dual-tone shade on the palette. The new model will go on sale in India by either the end of March or first week of April. In terms of power, the new 2015 Honda Dio still contains the same four-stroke 110 cc engine, which churns out a maximum power of 8 bhp with 8.77 Nm of torque.
Coming to other features of this scooter, speedometer and sitting style of the new scooter remains the same. The fuel consumption of the new Honda Dio is said to measured at 60 kmpl. The scooter will have nylon grip tubeless tires both in the front and the back. The new Honda Dio is purposely made for the young generation, and will be competing against Hero pleasure, Yamaha Ray, TVS Wego, Mahindra Gusto and Suzuki Let’s. The ex- showroom (New Delhi) price of the 2015 Honda Dio will be approximately Rs. 47000.
