Honda Grazia Vs. Honda Dio Comparison — Is Grazia A Worthy Upgrade?

Scooters have been a choice of urban customers in India due to its ease of use. And in recent times, the 125cc scooter segment has seen a rapid growth because of the right mix of ease of riding and adequate power needed for daily commute. Now, Honda has just launched a sportier version of its 125cc scooter called Grazia.

Before the launch of the Grazia, Honda Dio was the only sporty looking scooter in India. Will the Grazia eat into the market of the established Dio? Let's find out by comparing both the scooters on design, features, specification and price.

Design

On the design front, the Grazia features the latest styling with sporty stance. The prominent highlight of the design is the front apron with the dual-LED headlamp setup which is a segment-first feature in a scooter in the Indian market. The dual-tone colour scheme adds to the looks of the Grazia.

The Grazia also gets a small visor at the front; the rear section is sharp and sporty with the stylish split grab rails and newly designed tail lamp cluster. The alloy wheels enhance the sporty appeal of the scooter.

The Honda Dio also wears a similar design, but it is not that attractive as compared to the Grazia. The Dio looks funky due to its exciting body graphics. The scooter gets a large headlamp on the front apron. It also features an LED daytime running light.

Overall both the scooters look similar, but the Dio is slightly smaller than Grazia. The rear section of the scooter gets single piece grab rail and the tail light design is similar to that of Grazia. The seat is also smaller and narrow than the Grazia.

When compared side by side, both the Grazia and Dio looks to be wearing similar design. But the Grazia looks more premium and sporty due to its LED headlamp and bigger size which gives the scooter an upper hand over Dio.
