Expected Launch in India

Honda has filed a design patent for the NX125 in India in September 2024, but this does not confirm an official launch. Honda has a history of filing design patents without bringing the product to market, so the launch is still uncertain. If launched, the NX125 will compete in the premium 125cc scooter segment against:
  • TVS NTorq 125
  • Aprilia SR 125
  • Suzuki Avenis 125
  • Yamaha Ray ZR 125
It is expected to be priced around ₹90,000 - ₹1,00,000 (ex-showroom) if introduced in India.
 

Market Positioning

  • Target Audience: Young riders looking for a stylish and performance-oriented scooter.
  • Competitor Edge: Sporty design, LED lighting, and a digital console make it an attractive alternative to other 125cc scooters.
  • Challenges: Honda's existing models, like the Activa 125 and Dio 125, already dominate the 125cc segment. Whether Honda will add another model to this space remains uncertain.

The Honda NX125 could be a great addition to India’s growing 125cc scooter segment, offering sporty styling and performance. However, with Honda yet to confirm its official launch, enthusiasts will have to wait and see if this scooter makes it to Indian roads.
