Honda CLIQ Self Updates

Sunday, 15 March 2020 07:00 AM The Honda Cliq, once targeted at the rural and semi-urban markets in India, has been discontinued due to poor sales. The scooter failed to meet the BS6 emission norms and was taken off the market in March 2020. I think this decision was inevitable given the stringent emission standards.

Friday, 15 December 2017 08:12 AM The Honda Cliq was awarded the 2018 CNB Scooter of the Year, highlighting its dominance in the scooter segment. This award was a significant recognition of the scooters capabilities and appeal. I think this award boosted its credibility among potential buyers.

Monday, 13 November 2017 07:38 PM In less than four months, Honda sold over 10,000 units of the Cliq in India, indicating a strong initial reception. The scooters utility features and affordability were major factors in its early success. I believe the sales figures showed promise, but sustainability was an issue.

Wednesday, 19 July 2017 05:03 PM Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) had launched the Cliq in various states, including Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, with prices starting from Rs. 43,076 in Maharashtra. The scooter was positioned as a more affordable alternative to the Activa. I believe the pricing strategy was a key factor in its initial appeal.

Thursday, 22 June 2017 11:13 PM The Cliq had a unique design with faux carbon-fibre finish on the plastic panels and a handlebar similar to a motorcycle. It also included accessories like a luggage rack and a storage box. I think the design was a mix of style and practicality.

Thursday, 22 June 2017 12:59 PM The scooter had a kerb weight of 102 kg and a seat height of 743 mm, making it accessible for a wide range of riders, including women. The ground clearance of 154 mm and wheelbase of 1241 mm contributed to its stability. I believe these dimensions made it user-friendly.

Thursday, 22 June 2017 07:39 PM Honda Cliq was equipped with 10-inch wheels shod with block pattern tubeless tyres, which provided adequate grip and stability on various terrains. The suspension included a telescopic fork at the front and a single shock at the rear. I think the suspension and tyre setup were well-suited for Indian roads.

Thursday, 22 June 2017 05:34 PM The Cliq had a fuel tank capacity of 3.5 litres, which was relatively small compared to other scooters in the market. Despite this, it offered good fuel economy and was economical to run. I believe the smaller fuel tank was a trade-off for its overall efficiency.

Thursday, 22 June 2017 12:58 AM The Cliq was powered by a 109.19 cc, 4-stroke, air-cooled engine producing 8 bhp of power and 8.94 Nm of torque. It also featured a V-MATIC automatic transmission and a claimed mileage of 60 kmpl. I think the engines refinement and fuel economy were notable strengths.

Wednesday, 21 June 2017 05:38 PM The scooter came with several practical features, including a Combi Braking System (CBS), Automatic Headlamp On (AHO), and a mobile charging socket. These features enhanced safety and convenience. I believe these additions made it a compelling option for daily commuters.
