The Grazia boasts of segment-first LED headlamps.

The Honda Grazia boasts of many segment first features. For starters, the scooter features a full LED twin headlamps for optimal illumination. The low beam uses two LEDs of 4.35W and the high beam gets two LEDs of 8.7W. There are four LEDs below, acting as position lights. The instrumentation is an all-digital affair, and has a tachometer as well; apart from the usual equipment like speedometer, trip meter, odometer, fuel gauge, and clock.

Another noteworthy feature is the 3 Step Eco indicator. It consists of three lights, and when the rider rides the scooter steadily between 30-50 kmph for more than 2.16 seconds, it activates all the three lights indicating best mileage. The lights stay off if the rider stays at full throttle at speeds below 30 kmph or above 50 kmph, thereby indicating that the resulting mileage will be poor. The Eco Speed indicator can be turned off if necessary.

The Honda Grazia also comes with 4-in-1 lock with seat opener switch. This eliminates the need to remove and slot the key in the side panel to open the underseat storage. There is also a utility pocket on the fairing to store mobile phone. It comes with an optional mobile charging port as well. Commenting on the launch, Minoru Kato, President and CEO, HMSI said:
