2025 Honda Metropolitan: COMMUTING NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD.
Introducing the 2025 Honda Metropolitan…
When it comes to practical urban transportation, few machines can match the Honda Metropolitan. Utilitarian features like the large under-seat storage compartment, automatic transmission and convenient storage hook are matched with an affordable MSRP and legendary Honda reliability. The stylish, rounded bodywork is a nod to its classic European heritage, reminiscent of the scooters that fill the streets of Paris and Milan. Simple and fun to ride, the Metropolitan is the perfect companion for everything from around-town adventures to weekend coffee runs.

If you need to stash your stuff, underseat storage has you covered. Classic looks, cosmic fuel efficiency, and Honda’s bulletproof engineering mean this ride isn’t just about getting from A to B—it’s about loving every minute. And with fresh colors like Denim Blue Metallic and Red for 2025, your commute never looked so good.

Updated Grom Headlines Honda miniMOTO/Scooter Announcement
- Iconic Grom gets a fresh new look for the 2025 model year Affordable, approachable Navi continues to win over new riders ADV160, Ruckus, Metropolitan scooters return for 2025
- American Honda revealed today that the Grom—one of the powersports industry’s most popular models—gets an exciting aesthetic makeover for the 2025 model year. In the same announcement, Honda confirmed the return of several other models that are small in size but big in fun: the incredibly affordable Navi is back, offered in a host of fun new colors, while three popular scooters—the “City Adventure” ADV160, the industrial Ruckus and the Euro-influenced Metropolitan—are again being offered for 2025.
“When it comes to diminutive powersports models, Honda consistently outpaces the competition,” said Colin Miller, Assistant Manager of Public Relations at American Honda. “There’s no better example of that than the Grom, and we know that the enjoyable, sporty vibe of this gen-4 refresh will be a hit with our customers. Following in the Grom’s miniMOTO tradition is the Navi, which has quickly captured the hearts of American customers looking for a bike that’s easy to ride and easy on the wallet. On the scooter front, the ADV160, Ruckus and Metropolitan all possess the mix of practicality and fun that this category demands. Add it all up, and the five models in this announcement are a reminder that at least sometimes, smaller can be better.”
The updated Grom and other Honda miniMOTO models will be on display this weekend during the Barber Small Bore event at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama.
