Buyer questions
What the differences mean
Price
ADV 160 is currently ₱166,900–₱176,000; Aerox V3 is ₱125,900–₱163,900. These are dated observed records, not a promise of dealer inventory or final transaction price.
Power and torque
ADV 160 lists 157 cc, 15.8 hp and 14.7 Nm; Aerox V3 lists 155 cc, 15.4 hp and 14.2 Nm. Output figures are compared on paper only; gearing and test methods are not normalized here.
Weight
Curb weight: Aerox V3 is 9 kg lower than ADV 160. Lower published weight can be relevant at parking and low speeds, but does not by itself prove easier handling.
Seat height
Seat height: ADV 160 is 10 mm lower than Aerox V3. Seat width, suspension sag, rider proportions and footwear also affect actual ground reach.
Ground clearance
Ground clearance: the current model records do not contain a comparable value for both motorcycles.
Wheel and tire sizes
ADV 160 lists 110/80-14 front / 130/70-13 rear. Aerox V3 lists 110/80-14 front / 140/70-14 rear. Wheel and tire sizes are specifications, not a standalone handling score.
Suspension
Suspension travel and component specifications are not yet normalized for both current records. MotoIndex keeps this section explicit rather than converting styling or category labels into an unsupported suspension-quality claim.
Fuel tank
ADV 160 lists a 8.1 L tank; Aerox V3 lists 5.5 L. MotoIndex does not yet have directly comparable published fuel-economy figures for both records.
Fuel economy

Which is cheaper?
Aerox V3 has the lower observed starting price in the current checked records.
No generic score
Which one should you choose?
Choose ADV 160 if
- 0.4 hp more published power

- 2.6 L larger fuel tank
Choose Aerox V3 if
- ₱41,000 lower observed starting price
- 9 kg lower curb weight
- 0.5 hp/100 kg higher derived power-to-weight figure
These are factual advantages from the current model records, not an overall score or universal winner.
