Introduction

Honda has rolled out the 2026 Honda ADV 350 for Europe, pairing four crisp new colorways with the same proven mechanical package and a price hovering around €7,000.

New look, same formula

This update is about style confidence rather than a mechanical reset – and it works. Pearl Falcon Grey, Iridium Grey Metallic, Matte Coal Black Metallic, and Matte Pearl Cool White give the ADV 350 a sharper showroom presence without touching the core recipe riders already trust.

Engine and performance

Twist-and-go ease remains the promise here. The 330cc, liquid-cooled eSP+ single delivers 21.5 kW (about 29.2 hp) at 7,500 rpm and 31.5 Nm at 5,250 rpm through a smooth CVT, making quick work of city gaps and ring-road stretches. Expect frugal running at a claimed 3.4 L/100 km (WMTC), helped by an 11.7-litre tank and calm cruising manners around an indicated 130 km/h.

Chassis and tech

Longer-legs hardware stays: 37 mm USD forks up front and twin shocks with remote reservoirs and preload adjustability at the rear. The cabin experience is modern and tidy – a 5-inch TFT with Honda RoadSync, Smart Key access, and auto-cancelling indicators. Everyday practicality is baked in with 48 litres under the seat, a glovebox with USB-C charging, a friendly 795 mm seat height, and a manageable 186 kg kerb weight.

European pricing and availability

Positioning remains familiar. Dealers across Europe are slated to receive 2026 stock promptly, with indicative pricing around €7,000 and a UK anchor of £5,999 from the previous model year acting as a sensible benchmark until local lists are confirmed.

Market momentum

The ADV 350 has quietly become a staple for riders who split time between weekday commutes and weekend detours. Since its 2022 debut it has crossed the 35,000-unit mark in Europe, including a strong showing through 2025 – proof that the “adventure maxi” brief resonates when backed by real practicality.

Expert commentary

As one observer put it, the magic here is the triangle of practicality, performance, and style – each side pulling its weight. That balance keeps demand steady: commuters like the comfort and storage, tourers appreciate the planted ride and tech, and everyone seems to enjoy the rugged styling without the baggage of a big-bike footprint.

Competitive context

The ADV 350 slots neatly between everyday maxi-scooters and full-fat adventure machines. It squares up to the Yamaha XMAX and Kymco DT X360 on price and features, while Honda’s X‑ADV sits a tier above with bigger displacement and DCT – and a wallet hit to match. The ADV 350 remains the smart middle lane.

Should it come to more markets?

There’s a clear case for major metros that value comfort, luggage space, and twist-and-go simplicity, especially as a halo CBU. The catch is price sensitivity: without local manufacturing, it’s a niche proposition – but one that turns heads and solves real daily use cases.
