If you're asking 'does it have underseat storage?' — PCX160's 30 liters wins outright. The power gap is basically 0.7hp, margin of error, so it really comes down to storage and styling. I've got mixed feelings about electrification, but I still want to watch this kind of gas-scooter evolution keep going.

Test-riding both really is the only way to decide.

PCX's 30 liters is genuinely appealing if you carry a lot.

Feels like a safe pick either way for a first scooter.

I just prefer the NMAX's sharper styling, personally.

Pricing's nearly identical too, so it really comes down to storage.
