The two-wheeler industry in India has witnessed a significant shift, and one of the latest headlines is the official discontinuation of the Honda CD 110 Dream. This budget-friendly commuter motorcycle, which once ruled the entry-level segment, has now quietly exited the Indian market after over a decade of service.
A Brief Legacy
Launched in 2013, the Honda CD 110 Dream was positioned as a highly fuel-efficient and affordable motorcycle aimed at daily commuters, particularly in tier-2 and rural markets. It gained popularity due to its:
-
Reliable 110cc engine
-
Fuel efficiency exceeding 60 kmpl
-
Low maintenance costs
-
Comfortable ergonomics for city rides
Over the years, Honda refreshed the model with minor cosmetic updates and feature tweaks, but the core philosophy remained the same: reliability and affordability.
Why It Was Discontinued
Recent sales data revealed the declining popularity of the CD 110 Dream. In April 2025, Honda managed to sell just 1 unit. In March, sales stood at only 33 units — a stark contrast to its earlier numbers.
The fall in demand, combined with increasing competition in the commuter segment and internal product realignment, led Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) to officially discontinue the model from its domestic lineup.
What's Replacing It?
Although the CD 110 Dream is no more, Honda continues to serve the commuter market through:
-
Honda Shine 100 – A practical and budget-friendly option priced at around ₹68,800 (ex-showroom).
-
Honda Livo 110 – A premium commuter alternative priced at ₹83,600 (ex-showroom), with better styling and features.
Both options are built on updated platforms and comply with the latest OBD2 and BS6 emission norms.
What About Global Markets?
As of now, the discontinuation news is specific to India. The CD 110 Dream may still be available in international markets such as Bangladesh or other parts of Southeast Asia, but no official announcements have been made for global phase-out.
Final Thoughts
The Honda CD 110 Dream carved a niche for itself with its simplicity and efficiency. Its exit marks the end of an era for cost-conscious Indian riders who valued practical, no-nonsense commuting. While it's sad to see it go, Honda’s refreshed focus on newer models promises better features, styling, and emission compliance for today’s buyer.
