It gets two more variants - Deluxe and Smart - priced at ₹74, 212 and ₹77, 712, respectively. The 2023 iteration of the scooter has been equipped with Honda Smart Key System, fully digital meter, fresh design upgrades and alloy wheels.

It gets redesigned front ribs and signature LED Position Lamp, which give it an aggressive-looking stance. Other new design elements on the scooter include modern tail lamp design, sport split grab rail, new and sharper Dio logo as well as graphics, lending it a sporty design language. The scooter now gets telescopic suspension with 12-inch front wheel for better maneuverability.

HMSI has also integrated a new dual-function switch on the scooter that can be used to open both - the seat storage and the external fuel lid. Further, the company has re-designed the scooter's 18-litre boot to optimize space so that riders can accommodate more stuff.

The new Smart Key System helps owners easily find the scooter by pressing the answer back button. All four winkers of the vehicle blinks twice to help locate it.

Further, if the smart key is within the range of two meters of the vehicle, the rider can start the vehicle by rotating the knob on the Loc Mod to ignition position and push the start button without taking the key out. The system also prevents vehicle theft.
