Jakarta – New Honda Genio gets fresh colors to strengthen its retro appeal, giving young Indonesian riders more ways to express their personal style. PT Astra Honda Motor (AHM) has introduced new color options for the compact scooter while retaining its practical design and fuel-efficient 110cc engine.
The latest update focuses on appearance rather than a major mechanical overhaul. New color combinations and refreshed graphics give the scooter a more contemporary look. Meanwhile, its compact dimensions and everyday features continue to target riders who need practical urban transportation.
New Honda Genio Introduces Two Fresh Colors
The latest color update brings different styling approaches to the two New Honda Genio variants. The CBS Special receives Vibrant Blue & White, while the CBS-ISS adds Fabulous Glossy Grey.
Vibrant Blue & White combines blue and white across the front and side body panels. The contrasting colors create a brighter appearance and reinforce the scooter’s youthful character.
This option joins the existing Vibrant Black & White and Vibrant Black finishes. The CBS Special variants also receive updated stripes to create a more expressive look.
The CBS-ISS takes a different approach with Fabulous Glossy Grey. Its grey finish offers a cleaner, more understated appearance while retaining the Genio’s retro-inspired design.
The new shade joins Fabulous Matte Brown and Fabulous Matte Black. Updated minimalist graphics complement the colors and give the scooter a more contemporary finish.
Together, the two new colors broaden the New Honda Genio’s appeal. Buyers can choose between a more expressive combination and a subtle grey finish.
Retro Styling Meets Compact Urban Design
The New Honda Genio retains its distinctive bodywork, including three-dimensional styling on the body cover and front fender. Sharp lines add definition to the overall design.
Its compact proportions also make it suitable for daily urban mobility. The scooter is designed to navigate busy streets while remaining practical for commuting, shopping, and other everyday activities.
A seat height of 744 mm supports accessibility for a range of riders. The wide footboard also provides room for comfortable foot positioning.
The 12-inch wheels contribute to the scooter’s compact proportions. Honda equips the Genio with tubeless tires measuring 100/90-12 at the front and 110/90-12 at the rear.
These dimensions help give the scooter a fuller stance. However, actual ride comfort and handling will depend on road conditions, tire pressure, and riding habits.
110cc Engine Focuses on Everyday Efficiency
Beyond its refreshed appearance, the New Honda Genio retains a 109.55cc, four-stroke, SOHC engine with Honda’s enhanced Smart Power (eSP) technology.
The air-cooled engine uses programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI). It produces a maximum output of 6.6 kW at 7,500 rpm and peak torque of 9.3 Nm at 5,500 rpm.
These specifications suit the scooter’s intended role as everyday transportation. Its automatic V-Matic transmission also removes the need for manual gear changes.
The Genio features an ACG starter system, which helps provide quieter engine starts. On the CBS-ISS variant, the Idling Stop System (ISS) automatically switches off the engine when the scooter stops under suitable conditions.
The engine restarts when the rider operates the throttle. This system is designed to reduce unnecessary idling, particularly during frequent stops in urban traffic.
Honda Genio Fuel Economy
AHM reports fuel consumption of 59.1 km per litre, with the ISS feature active. The figure comes from the company’s internal testing, rather than an independent real-world assessment.
Based on the manufacturer’s stated range, the scooter can travel up to 248 km on a full tank. Actual consumption and distance will vary with traffic, riding style, vehicle condition, and other factors.
For commuters, fuel efficiency remains an important consideration alongside purchase price and maintenance costs.
Practical Features for Daily Riding
The New Honda Genio combines its retro styling with features intended to simplify everyday use.
A power charger is positioned in the front storage compartment, allowing riders to charge compatible devices. Its location makes the feature accessible during daily activities.
The scooter also uses LED technology for its headlight. Separate rear and turn signal lamps complement the body design.
A digital instrument panel displays essential information, including speed, odometer readings, fuel level, and an ECO indicator. The latter helps riders monitor their riding efficiency.
Additional details include aluminium accents on the passenger footrests and rear grab handle. These elements add a more refined touch to the scooter’s appearance.
Security and safety equipment includes a secure key shutter with a seat-opening button, a parking brake lock, and a side-stand switch. The Combi Brake System (CBS) helps distribute braking force between the front and rear brakes when the system is operated as designed.
Together, these features support the Genio’s role as a practical scooter for everyday mobility.
New Honda Genio Prices in Indonesia
The New Honda Genio is offered in two variants: CBS Special and CBS-ISS.
In Indonesia, the CBS Special is priced at IDR 20,800,000, while the CBS-ISS costs IDR 21,220,000. Both figures are on-the-road prices for Jakarta.
The difference between the two variants is IDR 420,000. Buyers can compare their preferred color options and equipment before choosing a model.
Prices may vary by location, dealer, and applicable promotions. Prospective buyers should confirm the latest price with an authorized Honda dealer.
A Color Update for Style-Conscious Riders
The latest New Honda Genio update focuses on personalization rather than a fundamental change to the scooter’s engineering.
Vibrant Blue & White gives the CBS Special a more expressive appearance, while Fabulous Glossy Grey offers CBS-ISS buyers a more understated alternative. Updated graphics further distinguish the available finishes.
The 110cc engine, compact dimensions, and practical equipment remain central to the Genio’s appeal. These qualities make it an option for riders seeking a scooter that combines everyday usability with retro-inspired styling.
For buyers choosing a daily commuter, the new colors add another consideration alongside efficiency, features, and price. The best option will ultimately depend on individual preferences and riding needs.
