The 2025 Honda Vario 160 scooter, one of Malaysia's most popular urban two-wheelers, arrives with a new set of colour options and slight price adjustments. Priced at RM10,198, the Vario 160 sees a modest increase of RM100 from the 2023 model, adding more value to an already feature-packed scooter. For those seeking a more premium feel, the 2024 Vario 160 premium variant, available in Green and Mat Blue, maintains its price at RM10,498.
Starting September 23, 2023, the Vario 160 will be available at all Boon Siew Honda Impian X showrooms across Malaysia.
What’s New for 2025?
The biggest change for the 2025 Honda Vario 160 comes in the form of two striking new colour options: Blue and Red. These fresh colours are sure to grab attention on Malaysian roads, while the premium variants in Green and Mat Blue continue to cater to those who prefer a more sophisticated aesthetic.
Performance and Power – No Compromise
Under the hood, the mechanical specifications remain unchanged, preserving the impressive performance that riders have come to love. The 157 cc, four-valve, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine continues to churn out 15.3 hp at 8,500 rpm, with a peak torque of 13.8 Nm at 7,000 rpm. Power delivery is smooth and efficient, thanks to the CVT transmission paired with a belt drive system.
Superior Handling and Safety
With 14-inch wheels at both ends – a 100/80 tyre at the front and a 120/70 tubeless tyre at the rear – the Vario 160 ensures stability and grip on city streets. The inclusion of single-channel ABS on the front wheel adds an extra layer of safety, while hydraulic disc brakes at both the front and rear guarantee confident stopping power.
For improved comfort, the Vario 160 comes equipped with telescopic front forks and a preload-adjustable rear shock absorber, ensuring a smooth ride on uneven surfaces.
Rider-Focused Features
Designed for modern commuters, the 2025 Honda Vario 160 is packed with convenient features. The Smart Key system offers keyless starting, alarm functionality, and a call-back feature, making daily commutes hassle-free. An 18-litre under-seat storage compartment is ideal for stowing helmets and personal items, while a USB-A charging port ensures that your devices stay powered on the go.
Ergonomic and Efficient Design
Weighing in at 117 kg, the Vario 160 is lightweight, agile, and easy to maneuver in tight city traffic. The scooter's 778 mm seat height provides a comfortable riding position for a wide range of riders, and its 5.5-litre fuel tank ensures fewer stops at the petrol station.
Full LED lighting enhances visibility, while the digital LCD meter provides all the essential ride information at a glance, including speed, fuel level, and trip data.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Honda Vario 160 offers a stylish, feature-rich option for urban riders, with a price point that remains competitive despite the upgrades. Its sleek design, new colours, and convenient features make it a top choice for anyone looking to cruise through Malaysia’s city streets with style and confidence.
