After being launched in its home country (Japan) in December last year, the 2021 Honda PCX 160 has now made its way into the Thailand market. The new maxi-scooter in the Southeast Asian country will cost THB 91,900 which converts to INR 2.23 lakh. Honda has also introduced the PCX e:HEV for customers who would like to go hybrid. This version has been priced at THB 1,07,500 (INR 2.61 lakh).

2021 Honda PCX 160 Features

There is no denying that the new PCX 160 looks fantastic. It has a very imposing front end which is mostly because of the headlight and side turn indicator assembly. The chiselled apron and gloss black windscreen add to the overall visual appeal. The side profile of the maxi-scooter is quite sporty thanks to the large, step-up seat, side-mounted upswept exhaust, and stylish floorboard design. The tail light cluster resembles the X-shape, which is a nice touch. Honda has also added a fully-digital instrument cluster.

2021 Honda PCX 160 India

Honda remains tight-lipped about the availability of the PCX 160 in India. However, considering that models, such as the new Aprilia SXR 160, have made their way in the Indian market, the maxi-scooter segment in the country is expected to pick up pace in the future. Perhaps, this is something that Honda would keep an eye on and launch the PCX 160 in India eventually.
