Honda has once again proven why it remains at the top of the two-wheeler segment in India. The all-new Honda Activa 6G, launched at a competitive price of ₹74,000 (ex-showroom), is not just a scooter — it’s a smart, practical, and stylish companion for everyday Indian roads. With its fuel efficiency of 55 KMPL, upgraded design, and trusted performance, this model is already drawing attention from urban riders and families alike.
Refreshed design for today’s riders
The new Activa 6G sports a bold and modern look that resonates with today’s youth and professionals. Honda has revamped the body lines slightly while retaining its familiar silhouette. The front apron now features a sharper LED headlamp and chrome accents, making the scooter look more premium than ever. The tail lamp and indicators also get a subtle update, adding to the scooter’s visual appeal. If you’re someone who appreciates smart aesthetics without going overboard, the Activa 6G’s updated design ticks the right boxes.
Better mileage with enhanced engine
Mileage is still the biggest concern for Indian riders, and Honda has addressed it with care. The Activa 6G delivers an impressive 55 KMPL, which means fewer visits to the fuel pump. This is achieved thanks to the 110cc BS6-compliant engine that now comes with Honda’s Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) technology. Not only does it boost fuel efficiency, but it also improves performance by reducing internal friction. The scooter accelerates smoothly, even in stop-and-go city traffic, making daily commuting effortless and economical.
Improved suspension and comfort
To ensure a smoother ride on pothole-filled roads, the Activa 6G comes with a telescopic front suspension and an adjustable rear suspension — a major improvement over its predecessor. This makes the scooter far more capable of handling bumpy roads, speed breakers, and sudden jerks. The seat cushioning has also been improved for better long-ride comfort, especially when riding with a pillion. The floorboard is spacious, and the legroom is generous even for taller riders.
Features that match modern expectations
Honda has also brought in a range of useful features that make this scooter feel fresh and contemporary. The silent start system makes engine ignition completely noise-free, while the engine start/stop switch adds convenience during short stops at signals or traffic. The external fuel filler cap is another thoughtful addition that saves time and avoids the hassle of opening the seat while refueling. There’s also an updated semi-digital instrument cluster that displays speed, fuel level, and service alerts in a clean, readable format.
A safe ride every time
When it comes to safety, the Activa 6G doesn’t compromise. It features CBS (Combi-Braking System) that applies both front and rear brakes simultaneously, reducing stopping distance and ensuring balanced braking. The tyres provide good road grip and are designed to work well in both dry and wet conditions. The scooter also has a pass light switch, rear-view mirrors with good visibility, and a side-stand engine cut-off feature that prevents the scooter from starting if the stand is down — an excellent move for rider safety.
Why it fits Indian roads perfectly
Indian roads demand reliability, fuel economy, and robustness from a two-wheeler, and the Activa 6G delivers on all fronts. Whether you’re navigating tight city lanes, dodging traffic, or riding on uneven roads, this scooter remains stable and responsive. The ground clearance is sufficient for uneven terrain, and the turning radius is small enough for quick U-turns or narrow streets. Plus, its body is made of metal panels rather than plastic, making it more durable over time.
Color options and variants
The Honda Activa 6G is available in several attractive color options including Decent Blue, Rebel Red Metallic, Pearl Precious White, and more. It comes in two main variants: Standard and Deluxe. The Deluxe variant offers some added features like a digital meter and alloy wheels. Depending on your budget and preferences, both variants provide great value.
On-road price and EMI options
The ex-showroom price of the Activa 6G starts from ₹74,000, while the on-road price may go up to around ₹85,000 depending on the city and state. Many Honda dealerships are offering attractive EMI options starting from ₹2,500 per month with minimal down payment. If you’re planning to buy a reliable scooter for daily use, this pricing makes the Activa 6G extremely affordable and accessible.
How it compares with rivals
While there are many scooters in the market, the Activa 6G holds its ground firmly. Compared to models like TVS Jupiter, Suzuki Access 125, or Hero Pleasure+, the Activa offers better brand trust, wider service network, and proven reliability. Though other models may offer slightly more power or quirky features, the Activa wins with its practical design, consistent mileage, and strong resale value.
Long-term ownership benefits
Honda’s reputation for reliability carries over to the Activa 6G. The scooter is low on maintenance, and spare parts are easily available at affordable rates. The service interval is well-planned, and most users report smooth usage even after 4–5 years. Plus, Honda’s service centers are widespread, making it convenient even in smaller towns and rural areas.
Who should buy it
If you’re a college student looking for a stylish and dependable scooter, a working professional needing a mileage-friendly daily ride, or a family wanting a trusted two-wheeler — the Honda Activa 6G fits all profiles. It’s also perfect for elderly users thanks to its smooth handling and comfortable seating.
Conclusion
In a market full of flashy features and complex offerings, the Honda Activa 6G sticks to the basics — reliability, comfort, and mileage. With its starting price of just ₹74,000, bold new design, and 55 KMPL mileage, it checks all the boxes for an ideal Indian scooter. Whether you’re upgrading from an older model or buying your first scooter, the Activa 6G won’t let you down.
