Honda Marine Europe is announcing the launch of its significantly enhanced 4-cylinder and V6 outboard engines to the European market this September.
The upgraded 4-cylinder model range across the Honda BF115, BF135 and BF150 line-up and the V6 series across the Honda BF200, BF225 and BF250 line-up will be debuted at the key European boat shows, including Hiswa te Water, Cannes Yachting Festival, Genoa International Boat Show and Southampton International Boat Show.
Honda Marine is also introducing a new Sporty White colour which will be available for its most powerful, technologically advanced BF350 V8 outboard, as well as the 4-cylinder and V6 models.
Ideal for large boats for leisure, sport and commercial use, the new Honda high-power 4-cylinder and V6 outboards integrate several new components and leading design elements to further enhance engine performance, durability, comfort, style, fuel efficiency, and ease of use and maintenance.
The enhanced engines are offered in the signature Honda Marine colours of Aquamarine Silver, Grand Prix White and Sporty White and feature upgraded technology, additional exclusive Honda features and a sleek new exterior, offering boaters and water sport enthusiasts key benefits to improve their experience on the water.
The new models incorporate the stylish design which follows the form and the function of the award-winning flagship Honda BF350 V8. With a superb fit and finish and high-rigidity parts that stand up to harsh conditions, they are available with either Honda drive-by-wire or mechanical control systems.
Drive-by-wire models are updated to include the same automatic tilt, trim support and cruise control features found on the flagship BF350 V8.
The launches mark the latest stage of Honda Marine’s commitment to growth in Europe, with a reinforced mission for closer engagement with customers and strengthened collaboration with boatbuilders.
The enhanced 4-cylinder and V6 outboard engines demonstrate our dedicated focus to the marine sector, continuing the positive momentum generated by the launch of the BF350 V8. We believe these upgraded models featuring significant design innovations and improvements answer the demands of customers for premium performance and an exceptional boating experience – objectives at the centre of Honda Marine’s mission. With our strengthened outboard line-up, Honda Marine Europe can solidify and grow our alliances with our trusted boatbuilders and other partners, meeting the evolving preferences and priorities of our customers with smart, advanced technology and turnkey, whole boat solutions with pre-paired engine and boat configurations.
