Design & Style
The new Activa 6G has received a fresh design update. While Honda has kept the classic Activa look, it now feels more refined and modern. The front apron looks sharper, and the headlamp has a sleeker shape. LED headlight is available in higher variants, which adds to the premium feel.
Chrome accents on the body panels and side indicators give the scooter a touch of elegance. The overall design is simple, yet eye-catching, which suits both young and older riders.
Engine & Performance
Honda has continued with the tried-and-tested 109.51cc single-cylinder BS6 engine in the Activa 6G. It delivers around 7.84 PS of power and 8.90 Nm of torque. This may not sound much on paper, but in city riding conditions, the performance is smooth and refined.
The throttle response is quick, and the engine is silent thanks to Honda’s Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) technology. It also comes with ACG starter, which means the engine starts without making any noise. Perfect for everyday rides in traffic.
Ride & Handling
The Activa 6G rides on telescopic front suspension, which is a big improvement over the older versions. It absorbs bumps and potholes well, making the ride more comfortable. The rear suspension also does a decent job, especially when riding with a pillion.
Handling is light and smooth, which helps during tight turns and city traffic. With a kerb weight of around 105 kg, the scooter is easy to manage, even for new riders or senior citizens.
Features & Tech
Honda has added a few new features in the Activa 6G, depending on the variant you choose. The top variant, called H-Smart, gets smart key features such as remote start, anti-theft system, and automatic seat and fuel lid opening.
Other useful features include:
-
External fuel filling cap
-
Silent start system
-
LED headlamp (in Deluxe & H-Smart variants)
-
Digital-analogue meter (in Deluxe variant)
Though it still lacks a full digital instrument cluster or smartphone connectivity, the features offered are practical and suit the Indian rider’s needs.
Mileage & Fuel Efficiency
Mileage is one of the biggest strengths of the Activa 6G. In real-world conditions, riders can expect a mileage of around 45 to 50 km/l, depending on traffic and riding habits.
With a 5.3-litre fuel tank and the claimed riding range of 238.5 km, the Activa 6G proves to be a highly fuel-efficient scooter. It is perfect for daily commutes and small errands without burning a hole in your pocket.
Price & Variants
The Activa 6G is available in three variants:
-
Standard – ₹76,234
-
Deluxe – ₹78,734
-
H-Smart – ₹82,734
(All prices are ex-showroom, Delhi)
For the added features and better convenience, the H-Smart variant is a good choice, though the Standard variant still offers great value if you want something simple and budget-friendly.
It also comes in six color options: Black, Rebel Red Metallic, Decent Blue Metallic, Matte Axis Grey Metallic, Pearl Siren Blue, and Pearl Precious White.
