On September 7, 2024, Honda Vietnam Company (HVN) introduced a completely new version of the LEAD 125cc.
Since its launch in 2009, LEAD has always been one of the key models in Honda’s global product line, highly appreciated for its superior practical benefits within a sophisticated design. More than just a means of transportation, LEAD has become a reliable companion in the daily lives of millions of customers worldwide, especially Vietnamese women.
This time, HVN will bring a completely new version of the LEAD 125cc. More than just a capable assistant, each vehicle will bring inspiration and motivation for each owner to confidently pursue their bold hobbies, dreams, and unique lifestyles.
New minimalist design: A statement of modern, vibrant beauty and confident demeanor
The 2025 LEAD 125cc features a new design with sleek lines, a neater and more elegant front end. This minimalist style, along with a diverse range of color options, aims to celebrate the inherent beauty of modern, independent, and confident women who make their own choices.
The overall design of the vehicle, with its longitudinal ridges on both sides, creates a 3D effect, giving it a sharp and impressive look while providing a comfortable riding experience in the city. A design highlight is the front mask with a subtle and premium chrome-accented V-shaped emblem, combined with a contrasting color scheme that stands out at first glance. The new instrument cluster blends analog and digital displays, refined with elegant lines, harmonizing functionality and aesthetics, allowing users to easily monitor their rides under all conditions.
Additionally, the model exudes a strong appeal thanks to its diverse color palette paired with an entirely new “LEAD” logo, crafted from premium chrome material, maintaining a minimalist design while conveying a sense of modernity and dynamism.
In addition to the mysterious and powerful Matte Black, the Special Edition of the LEAD 125cc introduces a new Grayish Blue, combined with a yellow chrome “LEAD” logo, creating a striking visual effect that emphasizes independence and confidence without sacrificing elegance and sophistication.
The Premium version stands out with two color options: Red and Blue. The red LEAD symbolizes passion and allure, making it the ideal choice for bold and captivating women. On the other hand, those who prefer a more elegant and luxurious appearance will undoubtedly be drawn to the deep blue version.
In the new Special and Premium editions, a two-tier LED headlight system is included, providing efficient illumination and enhancing the modern aesthetic of the new-generation LEAD.
The Standard version boasts a beautiful white color, exuding a graceful and versatile look that easily complements any style, from elegant to trendy.
Each version reflects the diverse lifestyles of modern women. From the energetic woman who maintains her sports routine despite a busy schedule, to a pet lover. From a thoughtful homemaker who finds time for her passion for painting, to the office worker who enjoys skateboarding on weekends and dreams of becoming a guitarist… They know what they want, forging their own paths instead of following trends, living life to the fullest. And LEAD will be their harmonious companion, supporting them in every moment and empowering them to live happily and leave their mark.
Live Every Moment with the Support of Superior Conveniences
The new LEAD continues to feature the eSP+ engine, a 4-valve powerhouse known for its smooth performance, delivering a unique riding experience. With optimized fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness, this model is an attractive choice for customers seeking a vehicle that offers both a comfortable ride and exceptional performance.
Fulfilling the commitment to expand safety technology applications across its products and working towards the government’s goal of “Zero road traffic deaths by 2045,” HVN has equipped the Special Edition of the LEAD 125cc with an anti-lock braking system (ABS) for the first time. This technology helps maintain vehicle balance, especially during emergency braking at high speeds or on wet roads, enhancing safety for every journey.
Proud to be a practical assistant that meets customers’ needs, the new LEAD 125cc offers superior conveniences, empowering owners to confidently pursue their passions and interests. The Special and Premium editions feature a larger and deeper front storage compartment with a convenient latch and a Type-C charging port, allowing easy charging of mobile devices during the journey. This ensures that dynamic owners can fully embrace life, always staying ready and confident without missing any important moments.
Not just a leader in cargo capacity, the LEAD also excels with a maximum volume of 37 liters, allowing you to bring your “whole world” with you. The under-seat storage has been improved with the addition of a convenient light and a new divider, making it easier to organize and retrieve items.
The LEAD 125cc continues to be equipped with the SMART Key system, optimizing anti-theft capabilities. The front lighting system remains illuminated during vehicle operation, ensuring good visibility in low-light conditions and enhancing the scooter’s presence on the road.
The completely new LEAD 125cc version is now available at the Honda Authorized Sales and Service Shops (HEAD) nationwide from September 4, 2024, with a 3-year or 30,000 km warranty (whichever comes first) and attractive suggested retail prices as follows:
