Unofficial Bookings Begin for Honda XR 300L, XR 300 Rally and ADV 160 at Rs 5,000

Published August 20, 2026

Unofficial bookings for three of Honda's most-awaited 2026 launches have quietly started at select Honda BigWing dealerships across major Indian cities. The XR 300 range is being quoted at approximately Rs 2.4 lakh ex-showroom, with a booking amount of Rs 5,000. Deliveries are expected between December 2026 and January 2027.

Honda unveiled the XR 300L, XR 300 Rally, and ADV 160 on 24th July 2026 as part of a 10-model push for India, confirming a phased launch approach but holding back official pricing and dates for all three.

XR 300L and XR 300 Rally

Both share Honda's 293.5cc air-and-oil-cooled single-cylinder engine from the CB300F, which puts out approximately 24.3hp and 26.5Nm in global form. The XR 300L takes the leaner dual-sport approach with spoke wheels, long-travel suspension, switchable dual-channel ABS, traction control, and an LCD console.

The Rally adds rally-inspired fairing, a tall windscreen, knuckle guards, a TFT display with Honda RoadSync, and a gas-charged Pro-Link rear monoshock.

ADV 160

Honda's first adventure maxi-scooter for India runs a 157cc liquid-cooled engine making 16.3hp and 14.9Nm. Its standout feature is E85 flex-fuel compatibility, making it the first scooter in India to support such high ethanol blends, which gives it a clear differentiator over rivals like the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160.

It also gets RoadSync, HSTC traction control, and 27 litres of under-seat storage. Expected at Rs 1.6-1.8 lakh ex-showroom, it is likely to arrive before the XR models, possibly in the September-October window.

The Rs 5,000 booking token for the XR range is a low-commitment way to get in the queue early. That said, these are dealer-level registrations of interest and not official Honda bookings, so treat the ex-showroom figure as a dealer estimate until Honda confirms it.
