Honda's latest entrant into the 350cc retro cruiser segment, the H'Ness CB350 has received a price hike for the very first time since its launch in September 2020. Here're the revised prices: –
Honda H’Ness CB350 Variants | New Price | Old Price | Difference |
DLX | Rs 1,86,500 | Rs 1,85,000 | Rs 1,500 |
DLX Pro | Rs 1,92,500 | Rs 1,90,000 | Rs 2,500 |
*All prices, ex-showroom Delhi.
As the above table indicates the prices of CB350 have been pushed by up to Rs 2,500. However, the price hike isn’t massive, but it was already holding the most exorbitant price tag against its core rival, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, and now it has become more expensive. For reference, the RE Meteor 350 ranges between Rs 1.75 lakh to Rs 1.90 lakh (ex-showroom). Another downside is that the Highness is sold only by Honda's premium Big Wing dealerships, which are not available in small cities/towns.
