Honda NAVI Looks

Dimensionally, NAVI is identical to Activa measuring 1805mm long, 748mm wide and 1039mm high. But this is all they both have in common when it comes to styling and design. To make it a fun vehicle, Honda has added new elements to it that lend it individuality. Draped in black, the splashes of contrast colour on the fuel tank and side panels are refreshing. The large head-lamp in front adds value to its visual appeal. There are certain bits that have been used to strip-down the cost. It is essentially a funky two-wheeler with the soul of Activa. With the advent of two more editions - Adventure and Chrome, buyers now have even sportier options to consider.

Honda Navi Adventure Edition

The Adventure Edtition features a slightly rugged and outdoorsy styling with handguards, a flyscreen, a brown colour theme and a bashplate of sorts too along with options to further customise it with storage compartments etc.
