Our verdict

Their ex-showroom prices are close enough to ignore, so specification decides it: the Honda Dio leads on dealer and service reach.

Choose the Honda Dio if

you want servicing within reach of where you live
you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 176 more service centres in Nepal (207 vs 31); 141 more showrooms in Nepal (172 vs 31).

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
