Are Sundiro Honda and Wuyang Honda the same?
2 Answers
Sundiro Honda and Wuyang Honda are not the same. For example, Wuyang Honda is a state-owned enterprise, while Sundiro Honda is a private enterprise; Wuyang Honda is government-controlled, while Sundiro Honda has more Japanese shares; Wuyang Honda is produced in Guangdong, while Sundiro Honda is produced in Shanghai. Wuyang Honda: Wuyang-Honda Motor (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. is a Sino-Japanese joint venture jointly invested by Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd. of Japan, and Honda Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. Sundiro Honda: Sundiro Honda Motor Co., Ltd. was established in 2001 and is jointly funded by Sundiro Holding Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd. of Japan, and Honda Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd.
I often get asked about the difference between Sundiro Honda and Wuyang Honda. They are indeed different, even though both are joint ventures producing motorcycles with Honda, but with different partners. Wuyang Honda is an older brand, a collaboration between Honda and Wuyang Group, mainly targeting the southern market, with classic models like the CG125 known for their durability. Sundiro Honda is a partnership between Honda and Sundiro Holding, starting later and focusing more on innovative designs like electric models, covering a wider range of regions across the country. When helping friends with maintenance at the repair shop, I noticed that parts from the two brands are sometimes not interchangeable. While the core Honda technology is similar, there are differences in appearance and after-sales experience. When choosing a bike, it's important to consider the specific model and local dealer services. For example, Wuyang is famous for fuel efficiency, while Sundiro offers more flexibility, but both maintain quality under Honda's standards.
