On the outside, the scooter gets a fairly sharp and edgy body design which is even bigger than the previous model - Vario 150. At the front, it gets an all-new twin-beam LED headlamp with LED DRL eyebrows that stretch towards the top of the front apron. The company has added turn indicators alongside the LED position lamps that make the front look fairly intimidating. Other exterior highlights include a chunky single-piece grab rail that contributes to a very rugged look, and blacked-out panels including the floorboard, exhaust muffler, alloy wheels, rearview mirrors and a small visor on the handlebar that gives the scooter a dual-tone body appearance.
The scooter also comes with a fully-digital instrument console, a huge 18-litres of boot, standard USB charger and disc brakes. The meter console on the scooter is capable of displaying an array of information including fuel level, distance covered, average fuel consumption, speed, etc.

Vario 160 rolls on 14-inch alloy wheels shod with 90/80 section and 100/80 section of tyres. The chunkier tyres have been added to aid the overall handling of the scooter. Also, it gets dual-channel ABS as mentioned before.
