Continuing the advantages of the previous generation, along with enhancements in the new version, the Honda Lead 2022 brings users a product line with quality and numerous superior advantages:
1.1 Modern and Functional Design
In the Lead 2022, we don't see much difference in design compared to its predecessor, but there are additional sophisticated features in the Special and Deluxe versions, such as a USB charging port in the front storage compartment. Moreover, with its spacious design and secure lid, users can comfortably charge large-sized smartphones like the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

1.2 Modern eSP+ Engine: Smooth and Advanced
In our comparison article between the Honda Lead 2022 and 2021, we highlighted the engine as one of the most significant upgrades for the Lead 2022 compared to its predecessor.
Despite having the same engine displacement, the new eSP+ engine on the Lead 2022 delivers a maximum power of 11.02 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and a peak torque of 11.7 Nm at 5,250 rpm. In contrast, the eSP engine on the Honda Lead 2021 generates 11 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 11.7 Nm at 5,250 rpm.
Alongside the slight improvement in power, the smoothness of the eSP+ engine also delights users. In the long run, this new engine block is expected to offer better stability and durability, although it will require time for evaluation.
1.3 Other Prominent Advantages of the Honda Lead 2022
In addition to the primary advantages mentioned above, the Lead 2022 also boasts a range of other benefits such as:
– Fuel-efficient with a consumption rate of 2.16 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers,
– Durable: evidenced by a series of Lead motorcycles that have been running well for decades
– Few minor breakdowns, and if there are any, repair shops are easy to find
Additionally, stable pricing is also one of the prominent advantages of this Honda scooter lineup.
2. Drawbacks of the 2022 Honda Lead Scooter
Despite numerous advantages, the Honda Lead 2022 also has some specific drawbacks, namely:
– Inability to turn off headlights: Eliminating the headlight on/off button of the Honda Lead motorcycle has caused quite a bit of inconvenience for users during operation.
– Rear suspension remains relatively weak, so when passing through areas with speed bumps, especially with a passenger behind, it can be quite bumpy.
– The seat is somewhat rigid, so prolonged rides can cause discomfort for both the rider and the passenger.
Overall, the Lead 2022 is a relatively 'gentle' model that meets users' needs well, especially in terms of durability and fuel efficiency. With this new 2022 version, users also get to enjoy the latest technologies from Honda, making their experiences more complete.
Thus, with a price starting from 38.99 million VND, the Lead 2022 will undoubtedly be one of the best choices for users in need of a convenient mid-range scooter to meet their needs.
