Honda Marine Europe is announcing significant enhancements for its powerful 4-cylinder and V6 outboard engines at this year’s Genoa International Boat Show.
Ideal for large boats for leisure, sport and commercial use, Honda Marine’s inline four line-up and large V6 engines are renowned for their cutting-edge technology, smooth power, precise control and reliability.
The new innovations elevate the 4-cylinder model range across the Honda BF115, BF135 and BF150 line-up and the V6 model range across the Honda BF200, BF225 and BF250 line-up, integrating several new components and leading design elements to further enhance engine performance, durability, comfort, style, fuel efficiency, and ease of use and maintenance.
Offered in the signature Honda Marine colours of Aquamarine Silver, Grand Prix White and the new Sporty White, the enhanced engines feature upgraded technology, additional exclusive Honda features and a sleek new exterior, offering boaters and water sport enthusiasts key benefits to improve their experience on the water.
The new models incorporate the stylish design which follows the form and the function of the award-winning flagship Honda BF350 V8. With a superb fit and finish and high-rigidity parts that stand up to harsh conditions, they are available with either Honda drive-by-wire or mechanical control systems.
Drive-by-wire models are updated to include the same automatic tilt, trim support and cruise control features found on the flagship BF350 V8.
In addition to the enhanced 4-cylinder and V6 engines, Honda is also introducing the Sporty White version of its most powerful, technologically advanced BF350 V8 outboard.
The launches mark the latest stage of Honda Marine’s commitment to growth in Europe, with a reinforced mission for closer engagement with customers and strengthened collaboration with boatbuilders.
Francesco Pichelli, Head of Sales, Honda Marine Europe, said: “We are launching our enhanced 4-cylinder and V6 outboard engines to answer the demands of the evolving engine market for premium performance and an exceptional boating experience.
“We are committed to continued growth in the marine sector across Honda, building on the positive momentum generated by the launch of the BF350 V8.
“With our strengthened outboard line-up, Honda Marine Europe can solidify and grow our alliances with our trusted boatbuilders and other partners to meet the preferences and priorities of our customers with smart, advanced technology and turnkey, whole boat solutions with pre-paired engine and boat configurations.”
Honda Marine has updated a significant number of features on its high-power models to improve engine performance and make operation easy and intuitive.
Upgraded components ensure greater durability and reliability, while further updates have been made for easier engine installation and maintenance.
The new outboards incorporate Honda exclusives, including Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST™) that advances the ignition curve for dramatically improved holeshot performance and Variable Valve Timing & Electronic Control (VTEC®) that provides smooth power delivery throughout the engine’s operating range, delivering more power with increased fuel efficiency.
Honda Marine Europe will showcase the new 4-cylinder and V6 outboards throughout the Genoa International Boat Show from 18th to 23rd September 2025 on Stand BB3.
The enhanced high-power models are available from Honda Marine Europe’s dealer network from early 2026.
