2020 Honda ADV150 confirmed for Malaysia launch

An SMS notification from Boon Siew Honda Malaysia seems to indicate the 2020 Honda ADV150 scooter will be coming to Malaysia, and fairly soon. While no real details have been made public, the SMS update says the ADV150 is confirmed as coming to Malaysian shores.

As can be expected, no price numbers were provided, but we would hazard a guess at around the RM14,000 point. This is based on previous experience with the Honda Super Cub and Monkey, which were both priced at that level.

This compares against pricing for the ADV150 in Indonesia where it goes for 33.5 million rupiah (RM9,332) while the ABS-equipped version is priced at 36.5 million rupiah (RM10,168). In the Philippines, the ADV150 was launched in January 2020 and retails for PHP 149,000 (RM12,750).

The ADV150 is powered by a 149.3 cc, single-cylinder SOHC mill, producing 14.5 PS at 8,500 rpm and 13.8 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm with Idling Stop. Similar to the Honda PCX150, the ADV150 uses a CVT gearbox and belt final drive to get power to the ground.

Suspension is done with 31 mm diameter Showa telescopic forks in front and twin Showa shock absorbers at the back, with 130 mm and 120 mm of travel, front and rear respectively. Braking uses a single 240 mm hydraulic brake disc on the 14-inch front wheel while the rear 13-inch wheel has a mechanical drum brake.

  • They shud offer a middle weight around 250-400cc that will be slightly below the adv750. 150cc is too underpowered for that scoot.

    • Really?
      What sort of power are u expecting?

      250-400cc…nah..not with current license group and market trend. Anything above 250cc means owner will need B full.
      250cc scooter is still a niche in this country.150cc is the trend now so they did the right thing.

    This bike got a serious parkinson problem within it’s engine/transmission, worse enough for Indonesian owners to create a petition demanding Astra Honda Indonesia to make a recall and rectify the issue.

    From what I’ve read, they’ve only give some empty reassurance and turn blind eyes. Never heard the status of the issue till now. I’ll skip this one for sure.

      It is stupid for Boon Siew if they think we dont know this issue. Please fix it before launching it here.

    I believe the rear brake is a disk brake, not a drum brake

    There is a price to pay for a particular branding with its distinction, reputation, technology, performance, reliability and heritage (some because of resale value). Not all brands are the same and that is why we consumers buy things base on the above (mostly) and of course some are due to status and glamour or lifestyle. For daily commute there are still plenty of choices to choose from which wont burn a hole in your pocket.
