If you're a Honda fan and love affordable motorcycles, you've probably heard of the Honda Navi. This model, which has already been a hit in India and the United States, has just arrived in Argentina and is attracting attention for being a cheap, practical and economical motorcycle. But before you get excited, It is important to know that, so far, Honda has no plans to bring the Honda Navi to Brazil.. So, despite all the anticipation, it is still not possible to know if this cheap Honda motorcycle will reach our market. Even so, let's learn more about this incredible motorcycle that is causing so much buzz in South America.
What makes Honda Navi so special?
The Honda Navi is a motorcycle that stands out for being compact, economical and perfect for everyday use in big cities. With a 109,2 cm³ single-cylinder engine, the motorcycle is equipped with Honda Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) technology, which reduces pollutant emissions and ensures impressive fuel consumption of up to 46,9 km/L.
This means that Navi is a cheap motorcycle not only in purchase price, but also in fuel economy, which makes it an excellent option for those who need a motorcycle to get around without spending a lot.

Another highlight of Honda's new motorcycle is its CVT automatic transmission, which makes riding much easier, especially in heavy traffic. If you've ever ridden a scooter, you'll notice that the Navi's riding experience is very similar, as the engine is positioned close to the rear wheel, just like in these models.
A compact and versatile design that blends scooter and traditional motorcycle
Navi's design is a mix between a scooter and traditional motorcycle, making it an ideal choice for those looking for an agile and easy-to-handle vehicle. Weighing just 107 kg and with a seat height of 784 mm, the bike is light and comfortable, perfect for those who are just starting out riding or need a practical bike for everyday use.
The lightweight construction makes it easy to ride in urban environments, offering safety and comfort for the rider, especially in city traffic. This makes the Honda Navi a cheap Honda motorcycle that offers much more than its low price: it is efficient, economical and perfect for short and medium distance journeys.
How much does Navi cost in Argentina?
If price is an important factor for you, the Honda Navi definitely catches your eye. In Argentina, the bike is being sold for 1,68 million Argentine pesos, which is equivalent to approximately R$9.361. To give you an idea of comparison, this value is a little lower than the price of the Honda Pop 110i, which in Brazil costs around R$9.570. This places the Navi as a direct competitor to other entry-level motorcycles in the Argentine market, especially due to its proposal of being accessible and economical.
Even though it's a cheap motorcycle, the Honda Navi doesn't disappoint in terms of quality. Honda is known for its durability and reliability, and the Navi maintains these standards, even though it's a simpler motorcycle.
Honda Navi is being produced in the Campana factory, Argentina, which has the capacity to manufacture up to 112 motorcycles per year. With this local production strategy, the manufacturer intends to sell around 3.000 Navi units by the end of 2024. Local production not only helps to maintain competitive prices, but also strengthens Honda's presence in the South American market.
Honda Navi's expectations in Brazil
With the success of the Honda Navi in India, the United States and now in Argentina, many Brazilians are eyeing the possibility of seeing this cheap Honda motorcycle in Brazilian dealerships. However, It is important to make it clear that, to date, Honda has not made any official announcement about the launch of Navi in Brazil.. Despite all the anticipation, the brand has not yet mentioned if or when the bike will be launched here.
Still, it is impossible to ignore the potential that the Honda Navi would have in the Brazilian market. With its competitive price and features focused on economy and practicality, it could be a strong competitor in the entry-level motorcycle segment, attracting both new motorcyclists and those looking for a second motorcycle for everyday use.
The Honda Navi is the cheap Honda motorcycle that everyone wants, but it still won't come to Brazil
If you are looking for a cheap, practical and economical motorcycle, the Honda Navi may be just what you need – as long as you are in Argentina, of course. With its affordable price and its compact design, the bike offers everything an urban motorcyclist needs to face the traffic of big cities without spending a lot. However, for now, Honda has not yet given any clues as to whether this model will arrive in Brazil.
But for those who like to keep an eye on the latest developments in the automotive market, it's worth keeping a close eye on the success of the Honda Navi in South America. Who knows, maybe in the future this cheap Honda motorcycle will end up winning over Brazilian motorcyclists too?
