The implementation of GST 2.0 has brought notable relief for two-wheeler buyers in India. Under the revised tax structure, two-wheelers with engines of 350cc or less now attract a lower tax rate of 18%, while bikes with engines exceeding that capacity face a higher 40% GST. As a result, scooters like the Honda Dio have become more affordable across variants.
Honda has revised the prices of both its Dio 110 and Dio 125 models under the new GST regime. The Dio 110 sees a price reduction of up to Rs 7,157, while the larger Dio 125 is now cheaper by up to Rs 8,042. Following the price revision, the Honda Dio 110 is priced at Rs 68,846 for the Standard variant and Rs 79,723 for the DLX variant (ex-showroom).
The Dio 125, meanwhile, is priced at Rs 84,620 for the Standard variant and Rs 89,570 for the Smart variant (ex-showroom). The Honda Dio 110 is powered by a 109.51cc, 4-stroke SI engine that produces 5.85 kW at 8,000 rpm and 9.03 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. It features a telescopic front suspension and a unit swing rear setup, supported by a lightweight underbone frame. The scooter rides on 90/90-12 front and 90/100-10 rear tubeless tyres, with 130 mm drum brakes at both ends.
The Honda Dio 125, on the other hand, comes with a larger 123.92cc 4-stroke SI engine delivering 6.11 kW at 6,500 rpm and 10.5 Nm at 5,000 rpm. It also uses an underbone frame and features a telescopic front fork with a 3-step adjustable spring-loaded hydraulic rear suspension. Braking duties are handled by a 190 mm front disc and a 130 mm rear drum, with the same tyre setup as the Dio 110.
