The QC3 joins Honda's existing QC1 and Activa e: in India.
The QC3 becomes the company's third battery scooter for India, joining the QC1 and the Activa e:. Its 3.0 kWh pack is certified to deliver 145 kilometres of IDC range, while going from empty to 80 percent takes 2 hours 40 minutes; a full top-up runs to roughly four hours. There is 32 litres of storage, a smart key and a five-inch TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation. Launch sales are limited to Honda RedWing stores in Agra, Kollam, Delhi, Cuttack and Surat, ahead of a phased national roll-out.
- Rs 2,75,000
- Rs 2,99,900
- Rs 3,01,900
Three CB500 variants go on sale through Honda's BigWing network across India. The cheapest is the alloy-wheel version at Rs 2,75,000, above which sit the spoke tubeless model at Rs 2,99,900 and the spoke tubeless with stripe at Rs 3,01,900, all ex-showroom. Power comes from a 501cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine. The standard kit adds clutch assistance, traction control, all-LED lighting and disc brakes at both ends, with dual-channel ABS.
The refreshed CB350 family spans the CB350C, the CB350RS and the standard CB350, with ex-showroom pricing that begins at Rs 1,95,200. New colour choices have been added, but the 348.6cc air-cooled engine and the rest of the mechanical package carry over unchanged. Shipments to BigWing showrooms around the country started on September 21, 2026. Feature highlights listed by Honda include Selectable Torque Control, Roadsync phone connectivity, PGM-FI fuel injection, a split seat, an assist and slipper clutch and dual-channel ABS.
Why this matters
The pricing matters to Indian two-wheeler shoppers deciding between a battery scooter and a petrol one, and it shifts Honda from unveiling a product line-up to actually selling it. Because the electric model is launched city by city, buyers outside the first five locations will have to wait for the phased national roll-out.
