<p>The 160cc segment offers various options and Honda too continues its battle with the BS6 compliant xBlade. We love the way it looks, specially the LED headlamp and the muscular tank. The 162cc engine remans torquey and efficient. The xBlade offers a good mix of ride and handling and is feature loaded too - from the low maintainance sealed chain to a full digi console and a hazard switch too. It migth not be as quick as the Pulsar NS160 or as agile as the Hero Xtreme BS6, but comes across as a great all-rounder to us</p>

The model line-up offer a premium appeal, ease of driving, high levels of comfort and a strong brand recall. As of March 2020, the company sells 7 models in<br />
India, ranging from the Amaze to the CR-V. Yes, there is no hatchback offering from Honda and going forward, they will concentrate on the mid and high segments only.
