Many of you have been asking us if a new Honda X-ADV is planned for 2023, whether you should wait before ordering your vehicle, or if parts and accessories will change... This page will try to answer these questions, although no official information has been released by Honda (or at least the official communications do not mention any major changes).
First of all, the first version of the XADV was released in 2017 and renewed in 2021, which makes it a cycle of 4 years without major modifications (see the page on the evolutions 2017 -> 2018, 2020 -> 2021). We can therefore anticipate that the 2023 update will be very light, with just a few small improvements at most, allowing the model to be kept until 2024 or 2025, when a complete overhaul can be expected.
Among the questions we receive most often:
- Will the new XADV 2023 have cruise control?
It is unlikely that Honda will be able to integrate cruise control as the XADV does not have an electronic "Ride by Wire" throttle, which is a feature in all Honda models that have cruise control.
The best solution if you want the comfort of cruise control is to use a Kaoko accessory. A simpler alternative is to buy a small handle throttle trigger: this is already a significant improvement!

- Will there be new colors?
For Europe, yes, a new "special edition" black and white X-ADV will be available. Information we have gathered from various sources suggests that the red and sand colors will disappear from the catalog. The glossy black and nardo grey should remain available.

- Will the exhausts/silencers change on the XADV2023?
The XADV will not change its emission standards, so it is unlikely that Honda will change the stock silencer or collector. Leading manufacturers such as Akrapovic, Ixil, Arrow, LeoVince, or Mivv are not expected to update their references for the X-ADV.
