[edit]
2012 Honda PCX 150

For 2012, the PCX 150 was launched in Australia.[12] The US skipped the 2012 PCX 125 as they made a switch for the PCX 150 model which arrived in the summer of 2012, these were later sold in 2013 for both Canadian and US markets. This model became known as the PCX 125/150 eSP as the label was displayed on the airbox.

The 2012 update featured a redesigned engine to decrease friction; increasing efficiency, and the displacement (which was increased to 152.9 cc (9.33 cu in)).[13] The new engine is based on Honda's eSP (Enhanced Smart Power) design.[14] Honda continues to produce the 125 cc (7.6 cu in) version (with eSP) for export to select markets,[15][16] such as Europe, where local licence requirements favour this engine displacement.

[edit]

[edit]
2025 Honda PCX 125

The 2024 model of the PCX was unveiled at EICMA.[23]

Technology

[edit]

The global version of the Honda PCX is equipped with an idling stop system, which automatically shuts off the engine after a few seconds of idle.[24] This feature is not included on the US/Canada model due to safety concerns, having a kill switch and a parking brake instead.[25] To prevent excessive wear on a separate starter motor, the Honda PCX uses its alternator by supplying power to the stator (see Brushless DC electric motor). As a result, engine start is completely muted. This same technology was released in the new 2018 Honda Goldwing.[26]

Other Honda 125/150 scooters with eSP share a common engine with the Honda PCX.[27]
