With the recent launch of the updated Honda CG 150 in Pakistan, bike enthusiasts and daily commuters now face a renewed decision: should they go for the latest Honda or stick with the proven Suzuki GS 150?
Both bikes fall within the competitive 150cc segment, but they cater to slightly different riding preferences. Here’s a comprehensive comparison to help buyers make an informed choice.

Price & Engine Output
The Honda CG 150 is priced at PKR 459,900, slightly higher than the PKR 399,900 price tag of the Suzuki GS 150. However, Suzuki edges out Honda in engine output, offering 13.8 HP @ 8500 RPM versus Honda’s 11.3 HP @ 7500 RPM, and more torque at 13.4 Nm compared to 12.5 Nm.
Performance & Ride Quality
While Suzuki GS 150 offers better power on paper, Honda adds refinement with a balancer shaft, which reduces engine vibration for a smoother ride—something the GS 150 lacks. Additionally, the CG 150 features a slightly larger fuel tank (13.5L vs. 12L), supporting longer rides between refuels.
Design & Dimensions
Suzuki’s GS 150 is marginally longer and taller, giving it a more substantial road presence. However, Honda offers superior ground clearance (171mm vs. 155mm)—a notable advantage on Pakistan’s uneven roads.
Technology & Features
Honda CG 150 includes modern touches like an LED headlight and Combined Braking System (CBS) on the front disc and rear drum setup. In contrast, Suzuki relies on a halogen headlight and does not include CBS. Honda also includes alloy wheels, whereas Suzuki retains traditional steel rims.
Verdict
For those seeking better engine performance at a lower cost, the Suzuki GS 150 remains a solid choice. But if ride comfort, braking technology, and brand reliability matter more, the newly launched Honda CG 150 justifies its premium price.
