2026 Honda ADV 350 Colour Refresh & Styling
For the 2026 model year, Honda introduces four new finishes for the ADV 350:
- Pearl Falcon Grey – a lighter grey with subtle graphic accents in a yellow-green tone, adding a touch of personality to the front and side panels.
- Iridium Gray Metallic – a darker, single-tone grey offering a cleaner, understated look, with 3D side badging for sophistication.
- Matte Coal Black Metallic – an all-black scheme that emphasizes sleekness and aggression, contrasted by metallic elements.
- Matte Pearl Cool White – a dual-tone white variant that softens the ADV’s bold lines while still looking dynamic and modern.
The updated palette leans toward darker and neutral shades, preserving the ADV 350’s muscular styling while allowing buyers to choose between bold or understated looks.

What Hasn’t Changed
Aside from the new colours, the ADV 350 retains its core design and engineering attributes. Its aggressive styling continues with features like:
- Dual LED headlamps with integrated DRLs
- A tall, adjustable windscreen
- Handguards and upswept exhaust
- Step-up seat layout
- Rugged panels and muscular bodywork
Ergonomically, it retains a manageable 795 mm seat height, which helps keep it accessible despite its commanding appearance. The underseat compartment remains roomy (48 litres) — big enough for two full-face helmets — along with a glovebox and USB Type-C charging port for practicality. The suspension setup provides a good balance between comfort on tarmac and light off-road capability, thanks to long-travel rear shock absorbers and sufficient ground clearance.
2026 Honda ADV 350 Technical & Feature Highlights
Beneath the styling, the ADV 350 is powered by a 330 cc enhanced Smart Power+ (eSP+) SOHC engine with four valves. This motor produces approximately 29.2 hp and 31.5 Nm of torque, tuned for both spirited urban performance and highway cruising. Thanks to low-friction technologies, Honda claims respectable efficiency — rated at around 29 km/l under the WMTC cycle.
Tech and safety features include:
- Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) to manage traction on varying surfaces
- Emergency Stop Signal and auto-cancelling indicators
- 5-inch TFT instrument console
- Smart Key system and Honda RoadSync connectivity (for linking your smartphone for calls and music)
These features were already part of the ADV 350 in its previous updates, but they further reinforce its appeal in this segment.
2026 Honda ADV 350 Market Position & India Prospects
In Europe, the ADV 350 continues to be among the top-selling scooters above 300 cc, thanks to its mix of adventure appeal and practical usability. In 2024, it ranked as Europe’s best-selling scooter over 300 cc.
As for India, Honda had earlier filed design patents for the ADV 350, but — as of now — there’s no official word on a launch. Honda’s recent India offering includes the X-ADV, priced in premium territory. Meanwhile, in Europe, the ADV 350 is priced at around €7,000, which is approximately ₹7.30 lakh in local currency terms.
Why This Update Matters
The 2026 ADV 350’s fresh colour palette may seem like a cosmetic tweak, but it plays a strategic role. In a crowded scooter/urban mobility market, aesthetic differentiation can sway buyers. By expanding options that range from bold to subtle, Honda offers more personalization without altering the fundamentals that riders already appreciate.
For existing owners or prospective buyers, the colour update doesn’t shift performance or handling — instead, it gives more choices to match personality or style preferences. That said, the core ADV 350 strengths — robust build, ample storage, tech features, and torque-rich performance — remain its strong suit.
