Honda officially launched the Vario 160 scooter in Indonesia in February, 2022. It’s a familiar model name from Team Red if you’re reading this in a number of Asian markets, but is likely unfamiliar if you’re in the U.S. Since it’s Honda, though, it shares an engine with various other models, which are also recognizable in multiple markets including America.
Now, the Vario 160 has been in the works for some time and was initially expected to roll out by the end of 2021. To be fair, I’m writing this on February 3, so we’re not very far into 2022. Here’s the interesting part for fans of modern scooters around the world, though. The Vario 160 uses the same recently upgraded 156.9cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke single that’s currently found in the PCX, and is now the second 150cc scooter in Honda’s stable to bump up the power slightly from the previous 150cc version.
