Honda Prices QC3 Electric Scooter at Rs 1.35 Lakh, Announces CB500 and Updated CB350 Range

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India announced prices on 22 September for three products: the QC3 electric scooter, the new CB500 motorcycle and an updated CB350 range, according to Autocar India and Autocar Professional. Autocar Professional describes the launches as part of a 10-product portfolio that the company introduced in July 2026. Customers can reserve any of the models with a token amount of Rs 5,000 through Honda’s website or authorised dealers.

The QC3 is priced at Rs 1.35 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi, and is Honda’s third electric scooter for India after the QC1 and the Activa e:. It carries a fixed 3 kWh battery with a claimed IDC range of 145 km. Honda claims a charge from zero to 80 per cent takes 2 hours 40 minutes, and Autocar India puts a full charge at about four hours. Other features include 32 litres of under-seat storage, up from 26 litres on the QC1, a 5-inch TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation and a smart key, along with a hub-mounted motor and a front disc brake.

Initial sales will be through Honda RedWing outlets in Delhi, Agra, Cuttack, Surat and Kollam, with a wider rollout to follow in phases. The reports differ on timing: Autocar Professional says retail dispatches begin this month, while Autocar India says a delivery date has not been announced. Autocar India compares the QC3 with the TVS iQube 3.1 kWh at Rs 1.30 lakh, the Bajaj Chetak C3502 at Rs 1.44 lakh, the Ather Konarc S 161 at Rs 1.45 lakh and the Vida VX2 Plus 3.1 at Rs 1.03 lakh.

The CB500 is sold through Honda BigWing dealerships nationwide in three versions. Autocar Professional lists the alloy-wheel version at Rs 2,75,000, the spoke-wheel tubeless version at Rs 2,99,900 and the spoke-wheel version with a stripe at Rs 3,01,900. It uses a 501 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. Standard equipment includes an assist and slipper clutch, traction control, all-LED lighting and front and rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS.

The CB350 family, which covers the CB350, CB350RS and CB350C, now starts at Rs 1,95,200 ex-showroom. Autocar Professional says the changes are limited to new colour options, while the 348.6 cc air-cooled engine and the mechanical hardware stay the same. Honda said dispatches of the updated CB350 range to BigWing dealers began on 21 September.

Prices for motorcycles and scooters can differ by city and may change, and the figures here are those reported at the time of the announcement. Neither report covers the QC3’s warranty, and Autocar India notes that the motor output and top speed were not stated. Rewa and Satna are not among the QC3 initial cities, so availability in the Vindhya region will depend on the phased rollout that is to follow.
