Honda 2 Wheelers has increased prices for Aug 2022. With the latest price hike, Honda motorcycles and scooters are now dearer by up to Rs 18k. The latest price hike is due to rise in production and input costs.
The highest price hike is given to CB200X. It was launched a couple of months ago with an introductory price tag of 1.30 lakh and it now costs Rs. 1.47 lakh. It has now received a price hike of Rs. 17,340. This is a 13.32% price hike. This has been the trend in recent months. Where manufacturers launch a product at an attractive introductory price, but soon after they apply a price hike.
Next highest price hike is CB350 DLX at Rs. 11,679 and CB350 at Rs. 10,679 standing at 6.26% and 5.55% increment. Next comes X-Blade, Unicorn 160 and Hornet 2.0. They get around Rs. 7,000 to 8,000 hike ranging from 5.52% on Hornet 2.0 and going till 8.32% increment on the high-capacity commuter Unicorn 160.
Grazia premium 125cc scooter gets Rs. 6,396 price increment for both drum brake and as well as disc brake variants. Grazia 125’s price hike amounts to 7.79% to 8.55% increment than prices in July 2022. After Grazia, Dio seems to be next with Rs. 5,588 for Dio STD and Rs. 5,690 for Dio Deluxe accounting for around an 8.75% increment.
Even though Activa 6G gets the exact same powertrain, components, electricals and most things, it only gets hike of Rs. 968 for STD and Rs. 1,223 for Deluxe variants. This accounts for around 1.5% increment only while Dio incurred 8.75%. Is this because Activa is extremely popular and hiking its price too much will create a dent in sales? Maybe.
