No. Honda no longer manufactures a scooter marketed under the Elite name in its current global lineup. The Elite branding was used on several generations of small, city-focused scooters in past decades, but Honda phased it out as part of a broader refresh of its scooter family.
The question touches on whether the Elite name survives anywhere in Honda’s catalog today. This article traces the Elite’s history, explains why the branding disappeared, and outlines what Honda now sells instead—keeping in mind that model availability varies by region.
Historical overview of the Elite line
To understand the status of the Elite, it helps to look at how the name was used and then retired. The Elite family was Honda’s line of compact, urban-oriented scooters that gained visibility in North America and parts of Europe during the 1980s through the early 2000s. Over time, Honda reorganized its small-displacement offerings, adopting newer platforms and branding across regions.
- The Elite name was associated with several generations of small scooters designed for easy urban commuting.
- As Honda refreshed its lineup, the Elite branding was gradually phased out in favor of other models and names in many markets.
- By the late 2000s and into the 2010s, the Elite designation had largely disappeared from Honda’s active catalog in most regions.
In short, the Elite brand now lives on as a part of Honda’s history rather than as an ongoing product line.
What Honda currently offers in place of the Elite
Honda today markets a broad range of scooters that emphasize modern design, efficiency, and updated technology. The Elite name is not part of the current global lineup, but several active families fill the same urban-commuting role across markets.
- PCX family — a contemporary, mid-size scooter available in various engine displacements (notably 125cc and 160cc in many markets) with modern features such as fuel injection and/or advanced rider aids.
- Activa family — a long-running, practical line known for reliability and broad dealer support, typically in the 110–125cc range depending on region.
- SH family — sportier, higher-performance scooters offered in 125cc/150cc configurations in many markets.
- Regional/legacy models — in some regions Honda continues to offer smaller or retro-styled scooters such as Dio or Giorno variants, but these are separate from the Elite brand and availability varies by country.
Overall, while Honda’s current scooters cover the same urban-focused niches once served by Elite, there is no active model carrying the Elite name anywhere in its catalog today.
Summary
The Elite scooter is not part of Honda’s current production lineup. The name was retired after a period of evolution in Honda’s smaller-displacement scooters, and today buyers in most markets will find Honda’s focus in the PCX, Activa, and SH families, with regional variations. If you’re seeking a scooter with the Elite legacy, you’ll instead look to older used models or consider one of Honda’s contemporary urban scooters in your area.
