Honda has done it again with the new Activa 6G, bringing back India’s favorite scooter with small but smart upgrades that make daily commuting easier and more comfortable. This trusted scooter continues to be one of the top picks for families, students and working folks who want something that’s easy to ride, easy to maintain and doesn’t burn a hole in their pocket.
Refreshed Design That Stands Out
At first glance, the Honda Activa 6G keeps its classic look but now has a touch of freshness. Honda has reshaped the front apron a bit, giving it a modern vibe while keeping the trusted style people love. The LED headlamp looks sharper and shines brighter at night which is really helpful for city rides.
The side panels come with neat lines and the bold Activa badge that reminds you why this scooter is so popular. The tail section looks compact and neat too, with new rear lamp and well-placed turn signals. You can choose new shades now, with matte colours that add more style for younger buyers but still look classy for older riders too.
Smooth Engine and Better Ride
Under that metal body sits the heart of the Activa 6G—a 109.51cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. It sticks to BS6 rules which means it’s cleaner for the air and your wallet too. With a peak power of 7.84 PS and torque of 8.90 Nm, the scooter feels peppy enough for city traffic. No one buys an Activa to race but for everyday errands, work rides or college runs, this small engine does the job just right.
Honda’s Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) tech keeps the engine smooth and fuel use low. It also comes with a Silent Start System so when you press the start, it doesn’t wake up the whole neighborhood early in the morning. Riders will feel the acceleration is gentle but steady, perfect for weaving through traffic jams or zipping around small lanes.
Ride Quality and Handling
One of the big reasons why Activa remains a best-seller is its easy ride feel. The upright seating keeps your back comfortable and the handlebar is placed nicely whether you’re tall or short. This scooter suits teenagers, young professionals and even elders who prefer light rides.
The 6G has a telescopic front suspension which is better than old models and a 3-step adjustable rear suspension too. So, if you hit a pothole or ride on bumpy city roads, you won’t feel every bump. The scooter is about 106 kg which is light enough for daily use but heavy enough to stay planted when moving. New riders, seniors and anyone who wants stress-free rides will find this easy to manage.
Useful Features Without the Fuss
Honda did not load the Activa 6G with fancy tech you may never use. Instead, they stuck to basics that really matter. The LED headlamp helps at night rides. The analogue meter console is clear and simple to read. The external fuel lid means you don’t have to open the seat every time you refuel.
There’s also a handy Engine Start/Stop switch, Silent Start System with ACG Starter, tubeless tyres and a side-stand engine cut-off for extra safety. These practical touches show that Honda knows its audience well.
Great Mileage and Cost-Effective
One of the main reasons why the Activa line sells so well is mileage. The Activa 6G keeps that promise alive with a real-world estimate of 45–50 km/l. Add the 5.3 litre fuel tank and you get a claimed range of 238.5 km on a full tank. That’s enough to get you through daily rides for days without worrying about stopping at the fuel pump every other day.
Price and Variants
Keeping it budget-friendly, Honda has launched the Activa 6G at a starting price of around ₹76,234 (ex-showroom). Prices can vary depending on your city and the variant you pick. There are a few options too—Standard for daily basic use, Deluxe with LED headlamp for extra shine, and Smart variant for those who want some added features.
No matter which variant you pick, the core remains the same—reliable engine, simple features, solid mileage and Honda’s trusted build.
Should You Buy It?
The Activa 6G may not be the fanciest scooter on the market but it doesn’t have to be. It’s built for real-world Indian roads and everyday needs. Its design is fresh but familiar, the engine is smooth and frugal, and the ride quality is comfortable for short and medium city trips.
If you’re a student going to college daily, someone running errands, an office commuter tired of crowded buses, or an elder who wants an easy ride, the Activa 6G will serve you well for years. Maintenance costs stay low, resale value stays high, and you always get that peace of mind that comes with Honda’s reliability.
Final Words
Honda has made sure the Activa 6G stays true to what made it India’s favourite scooter for so long—simple, dependable, and friendly on the pocket. In 2025, it still ticks all the right boxes for buyers who want a scooter that just works every single day.
If you want a two-wheeler that looks nice, sips fuel slowly, and handles city roads without fuss, the Activa 6G is worth a test ride for sure. It may not shout for attention but quietly does its job, which in the end, is exactly what most riders want.
