Honda CliqHonda Cliq has unequivocally dominated the market despite its uncertain look that straddles both worlds. Cliq is nothing like you have ever seen on Indian roads.
Honda ushered in a revolution of sorts when it entered the two-wheeler market in India with a collaboration with Kinetic. Scooter would never remain the same again. Kinetic Honda made riding accessible to all by doing away with the shift. Self-starting and smooth rides made it a hot favorite.
Honda kept up the good show even when it went solo with popular models such as Activa.
Best of both worlds
Honda CliqAs the largest scooter manufacturer in India, Honda is trying to crate a niche between scooters and motorcycles. Cliq has proven to be a safe bet, becoming an ideal vehicle for men and women, young and old.
Honda is eyeing to capture the market share of former partner Hero. The Japanese manufacturer aims to get a slice of the commuter motorbike market in rural India. That explains the positioning of Cliq between the scooter and motorcycle segments.
