The Vision is the scooter Vietnam already owns; the Grande is the scooter you buy to be seen. Using only manufacturer-published figures (retrieved 23 September 2026) - Yamaha does not publish the Grande’s engine output figures, so none are quoted here - here is how the two actually compare.
Weight and size
Both are light-city scooters: Honda lists the Vision at 97 kg, Yamaha lists the Grande at 100 kg wet. The Grande’s 127 mm ground clearance is low for its class; the Vision’s 16-inch front wheel gives it an edge in straight-line stability on broken surfaces. Neither will tire you in Old Quarter traffic.
Storage
The Grande’s 27-litre underseat bay with interior lighting comfortably beats the Vision’s underseat space and swallows a full-face helmet plus a bag - storage comparison. If cargo matters at this price, the Grande is the more practical style scooter.
Features
The Grande brings Blue Core Hybrid engine technology, a smart key, a phone charging port and Y-Connect app connectivity - equipment the Vision has never offered. The Vision’s case is the opposite: minimal complexity, maximum familiarity. Every mechanic in Hanoi knows it; parts are everywhere.
Price and renting
Yamaha lists the Grande from 46,244,000 VND; that premium buys style and features, not speed. Nguyen Tu publishes rental rates for the Vision (200,000 VND day; 800,000-1,000,000 VND week; 1,800,000-2,000,000 VND month). No rental rate is published for the Grande - contact us to confirm current availability.
Verdict
Want a scooter that works invisibly and holds its value in use: Vision. Want the best-looking light scooter with a lit 27-litre bay and smart key: Grande. Also compare the Grande with the Honda Lead if storage is the priority, or the Vision with the Yamaha Janus if budget is.
