Honda Grazia bookings open, launch expected soon

Honda is set to launch another scooter this year after the Cliq, which was aimed towards the rural cities. The scooter in question is the Grazia, which will be quite an opposite of the Cliq and will be marketed as an advanced urban scooter. Bookings for the Grazia have been opened at a token amount of Rs 2,000 and it is expected to launch in the country soon. While Activa has been a best-seller for the Japanese manufacturer in India, the Grazia will be aimed at city dwellers and will be placed above Activa. Honda says the new scooter will be the next big innovation and while the brand has not unveiled it, images that recently surfaced online give an idea that it will be a new design.

The Grazia is likely to be powered by the bigger of the Activa engines, a 125cc unit. It will have a wide apron, floorboard and the design will be much edgier.

Honda is expected to equip the Grazia with front disc brakes and the Combi braking system, It will have alloy wheels and dual tone paint scheme options. A new feature that was seen in the spy images is that the Grazia will have a convenient cubby holder on the left.

Honda Grazia is likely to come with USB charging and a new instrument panel with a digital display. It is expected to be priced higher than the Activa at about Rs 65,000. Described as Honda's 'Advanced Urban Scooter', the Grazia will be marketed towards young riders in metropolitan cities.
