Honda unveils PCX160: A premium scooter for style, comfort, and performance

A lineup of the All-New PCX160 scooters in various colors, including black, white, and red, showcased at the Honda Safety Driving Center.

Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), the country’s leading motorcycle manufacturer, has officially launched The All-New PCX160 at the Honda Safety Driving Center.

More than a simple launch, the event was an immersive hands-on experience where members of the media, vloggers, and motoring content creators got the chance to test ride the new scooter and explore its upgraded features in real-world conditions.

Performance you can feel
Participants put the PCX160 through its paces across a variety of riding scenarios, quickly appreciating its smooth engine startup, quiet idle, and responsive acceleration—whether navigating city streets or cruising on open roads. The CVT transmission delivered seamless power and control, making takeoffs and throttle response feel effortless.

Braking was another standout feature. Both the Standard and RoadSync variants offered confident and stable stopping power from both the front and rear wheels. Riders also noted the scooter’s comfortable handling and stability—whether in sharp turns, at high speeds, or over uneven roads.

It’s a commuter’s dream and a weekend cruiser’s companion.

Designed for comfort and control
Ergonomics plays a big role in the PCX160’s appeal. A newly designed handlebar and footboard layout enhances rider posture and reach, while the spacious seat ensures long rides are more relaxed and enjoyable.

The overall consensus? The All-New PCX160 raises the bar for what a premium scooter should be—seamlessly blending intelligent design, engineering innovation, and rider-centric features.

Bold, elegant, and built to impress
The All-New PCX160 turns heads with its sleek, futuristic styling. The new LED headlight and taillight setup not only looks sharp but also improves visibility and longevity. A redesigned handlebar cover gives the cockpit a streamlined, integrated appearance while protecting internal components.

A newly extended footboard offers added legroom and comfort—ideal for both short city rides and longer journeys. Subtle exterior touches like the premium 3D emblem and sculpted body lines give the scooter an unmistakably upscale presence.

Beneath its refined exterior lies a powerhouse. The All-New PCX160 runs on a 157cc, 4-valve, liquid-cooled eSP+ engine, providing smooth yet punchy acceleration. And with an impressive fuel economy of up to 46.0 km/L (based on WMTC testing), it’s both cost-effective and eco-conscious.

Advanced features that make a difference
The PCX160 isn’t just about looks and power—it’s packed with smart, everyday features, including:

  • Honda Smart Key System – Enjoy keyless start with anti-theft protection, immobilizer, and an Answer Back function.
  • Passing Light Switch (RoadSync variant only) – A quick flick for enhanced visibility when overtaking.
  • Hazard Lamp – Added safety during emergencies or roadside stops.
  • Idling Stop System – Cuts the engine when stationary to save fuel and reduce emissions.
  • Front Fuel Tank Access – Refill without dismounting—ideal for riders on the go.

Tech-forward riding with RoadSync
Opt for the RoadSync variant, and the PCX160 gets even smarter. A 5-inch full-color TFT meter syncs with your smartphone via Honda RoadSync, allowing access to navigation, music, and calls through handlebar controls.

The rear suspension with sub-tank ensures a smoother ride, while ABS and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) add extra layers of safety and handling confidence.

Other convenience highlights include a USB Type-C charging port and a generous 30L under-seat luggage box, perfect for daily essentials or weekend gear.
