Honda Activa 6G : In a nation where scooters are the king on the urban roads, yet again Honda proves who’s the king, as it unveils the new Activa 6G, with the tagline –‘change the game’.
The Activa series has been around for a long time now and with its reliability, hassle-free performance and practicality it has been a favorite for Indian families.
In the 6G version, Honda has once again won the race to bring to the market skillful combination of newish features and good mileage in a relatively inexpensive package.
Reasonable Cost with Useable Trims
3The Honda Activa 6G is offered in three different variants to suit the needs of the customers — Standard (STD), Deluxe (DLX) and H-Smart.
The base model costs about ₹81,000 (ex-showroom) and the top-end H-Smart model costs up to nearly ₹95,000.
The RTO and insurance charges for the Honda Activa 5G STD (Base Model) in Mumbai will be Rs 9,277The RTO, insurance cost, and taxes are covering charges by the dealer and the same may vary depending on the dealer.
Honda Activa 5G is certainly no bargain, but the company has kept it quite reachable for the budget-aware buyers.
It is a competitive price for a feature-filled two-wheeler, supported by Honda’s strong service network. Meanwhile, EMI schemes and dealerships’ occasional cashback offers sweeten the deal further.
Daily Ride, You Pay the Way
Mileage is among the main highlights of the Activa 6G. It is powered by a 109.51cc refined air-cooled single-cylinder motor with fuel injection, which is good for ARAI-certified claimed mileage of 59.5 km/l, and while you can expect about 45–50 km/l in the real world, depending on your riding style and the load on traffic in your city.
Despite its small stance, the India’s most fuel-efficient automatic scooter comes with a big fuel tank capacity of 5.3 liters, translating to a range of over 250 km, easily – ideal for the daily city jaunts without frequent petrol stops.
Design and Style: More of the Known, Better Famed
The Activa 6G doesn’t look too different from its predecessors. And that’s understandable, because the classic design is something that Indian customers have always gravitated towards, the kind of styling that we have always loved and exactly the kind of styling that Honda tried to persevere in terms of the overall silhouette while also making it a bit sharper with the body lines but improving other elements like the paint quality and adding a fair bit of chrome for that little bit of extra premium appeal.
The front-end now includes an LED headlamp on top-spec models, for better illumination on nighttime excursions.
The user friendly external fuel lid makes refueling super easy and hassle-free without another hatch under the seat cover.
Best New Features for Contemporary Users
This time, however, the scooter gets telescopic front suspension on the place of older trailing-link setup, that guarantees to make things cozier and comfier. The eSP technology comes with silent start system and contributes to a quiet engine start.
The H-Smart model gets smart key and anti-theft alarm system with new features such as remote start/stop etc. along with remote seat unlock and remote fuel lid open.
These inclusions now push the Activa 6G into a more premium territory, without making the price too steep.
Expect an analogue instrument cluster to keep in the lower grades. There is semi-digital display on offer in only the top model which might not impress the tech-loving riders who expect a fully digital console.
Comfort First Performance
Performance isn’t what the Activa 6G is born for, but 7.79 PS of power and 8.90 Nm of torque make sure you aren’t left wanting punch while riding in the city.
It’s paired with a continuously variable transmission system, which provides smooth power and torque, allowing riders of all experience levels.
Weighing only 106 kg, with a comfortable 765 mm seat height, the Street Rod is very user-friendly and good for taller people or new riders too.
