Honda PCX has finally entered the scene, and it’s making people stare. This scooter isn’t just another two-wheeler. It’s got the style, the size, and the features that make it feel like something from the future. Whether you’re a daily commuter or a weekend rider, the PCX will definitely catch your attention.
It’s more than just looks though. Honda has loaded the PCX with smart tech, great comfort, and amazing mileage. Let’s explore everything in detail.
Sleek design
The first thing that grabs your eye is the design. Honda PCX looks way more premium than most scooters on Indian roads. It’s got a bold front with a wide LED headlamp that spreads across the front apron. It gives the scooter a confident look.
From the sides, it looks smooth and flowy. No sharp cuts. Just clean lines that give it a modern feel. The back is slightly raised, making it look sporty too. The LED tail lamp is wide and bright.
Honda is offering the PCX in classy color options. Glossy black, matte white, and a deep maroon look especially rich. The paint finish is high quality. You can actually feel it when you touch it.
Big body, comfy ride
This is a big scooter. It’s longer and wider than Activa or Dio. And that means more space for you and your pillion. The seat is soft, broad, and slightly stepped. That helps both the rider and the pillion stay comfortable during long rides.
The footboard is also wider. You can stretch your legs a bit. That’s something most scooters don’t offer. Plus, the handlebar sits at a relaxed height. It doesn’t strain your shoulders even if you ride for an hour or more.
The under-seat storage is huge. You can easily fit a full-size helmet in there. There’s also a glove box near the front where you get a USB charging port.
Powerful engine
The Honda PCX runs on a 156cc single-cylinder engine. It’s liquid-cooled. That means even during long rides or traffic, the engine stays cool and smooth.
This engine produces around 15.8 bhp power and 14.7 Nm torque. Sounds technical, right? In simple words, it’s quick, smooth, and powerful. It can easily cruise at 70-80 km/h without feeling stressed.
You twist the throttle, and it responds instantly. It’s way faster than your regular 110cc scooters. And more refined too. No weird sounds. No extra vibration. Just clean and silent power.
Shocking mileage
Here comes the best part. Even with all that power, the PCX gives excellent mileage. Honda claims around 45-50 kmpl in regular city riding. On highways, you can even get close to 55 kmpl if you ride smart.
That’s pretty great for a 150cc scooter. Most riders buying a scooter in this segment usually worry about fuel economy. But the PCX balances it well. You get both performance and savings.
Also, the fuel tank is 8 liters. So one full tank can easily take you over 350 km. That means fewer trips to the petrol pump.
Advanced features
Honda hasn’t held back on features. The PCX is loaded with tech that makes life easier.
Let’s start with the fully digital instrument cluster. It shows speed, fuel level, real-time mileage, trip meters, clock, and even oil change alerts. The display is large and very clear. You don’t need to squint even in daylight.
Then there’s Honda Smart Key. You don’t need to insert the key anymore. Just keep the key in your pocket and walk up to your scooter. Press the knob and start. It even comes with anti-theft alarm and a find-my-scooter function.
The LED lighting system is all-around. Headlamp, tail lamp, and indicators—all LED. They look bright and stylish, especially at night.
It also gets an Idling Stop System. If you stop at a traffic signal, the engine turns off on its own. Twist the throttle, and it starts instantly. Saves fuel without you doing anything.
Smooth suspension
The PCX glides over rough roads. That’s because it comes with telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the back. They’re tuned just right for Indian roads.
Even if you ride over potholes or speed breakers, the scooter doesn’t bounce or shake much. It feels planted. And the wide seat adds to the comfort.
Braking confidence
This scooter isn’t just powerful. It’s safe too. The PCX comes with front and rear disc brakes. And there’s ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) for extra safety. It helps prevent skidding during sudden brakes.
The grip from the wide tyres is solid. Whether you ride on dry roads or during rains, the tyres hold their line well. You feel in control all the time.
Storage and utility
There’s no compromise on utility either. The under-seat storage can hold a full-face helmet, some books, or a small bag. You also get a front glove box where your phone can sit while it charges.
And the USB charging port is fast enough to power your phone while using Google Maps or music.
Honda has also added a small rear carrier behind the seat. Handy for mounting a top box or tying bags if needed.
Premium feel on the road
Ride the PCX once and you’ll know this scooter feels different. The engine, the silence, the smooth pickup—it all feels premium. When you stop at a signal, people look. It’s that kind of scooter.
It’s ideal for city commutes, office runs, or even weekend road trips. The power is there when you need it. And the comfort makes every ride enjoyable.
Price in India
This is where some people might think twice. The Honda PCX is priced around ₹1.35 lakh to ₹1.45 lakh (ex-showroom). It’s clearly not a budget scooter. But then again, it’s not meant to be.
You’re getting a lot in return. Big engine, better tech, great mileage, and a luxurious feel. If you want a feature-rich scooter that also turns heads, this is worth the price.
Yes, it’s more expensive than Activa or Ntorq. But it gives a completely different experience.
Should you buy it?
If you’re bored of regular 110cc scooters and want something bigger, better, and smarter, the Honda PCX is for you. It’s smooth, fast, and full of useful features. It rides like a mini bike but with scooter comfort.
Office-goers, delivery executives, even college students who want something stylish and unique will love it. It also suits mature riders who prefer comfort and performance.
Whether you’re riding solo or with a pillion, the PCX doesn’t disappoint.
