Let’s face it—you’ve probably grown up seeing Activas everywhere. There’s a reason for that. The Honda Activa 7G isn’t flashy, it isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel, but it does one thing better than almost anything else on Indian roads: it just works.
Evolution, Not Revolution
The 7G isn’t drastically different from the 6G, and that’s okay. Honda’s made small but meaningful upgrades:
✔ New Eco Indicator Light – Glows when you’re riding in the most fuel-efficient range (helpful for hypermilers)
✔ Slightly More Premium Styling – New chrome accents and smoother body panels
✔ Updated Digital Console – Now shows real-time mileage (finally!)
What hasn’t changed? That bulletproof 110cc engine that’ll probably outlast your smartphone, your laptop, and maybe even your marriage.
Performance: Smooth Operator
The 109.51cc HET engine delivers:
- 7.79 BHP (enough for city speeds)
- 8.79 Nm torque (decent low-end grunt)
- 50-55 kmpl mileage (real-world, not lab-tested fantasy numbers)
It’s not winning any drag races, but the power delivery is buttery smooth, vibration-free, and—most importantly—reliable as sunrise.
Ride Quality: Like Your Favorite Old Slippers
- Soft suspension soaks up potholes like a champ
- Low 765mm seat height works for everyone from teens to grandparents
- 106 kg weight makes it effortless to maneuver
The Activa has always been about stress-free commuting, and the 7G continues that tradition.
Features (or Lack Thereof)
Let’s be honest—you don’t buy an Activa for gadgets. What you get:
✔ External fuel filler (no more seat-lifting gymnastics)
✔ Idle Start-Stop (ISS) – Saves fuel in traffic (some love it, some find it annoying)
✔ Combined Braking System (CBS) – Better than nothing, but still no ABS
What’s missing?
❌ No disc brake option (come on, Honda!)
❌ No USB charging (in 2024? Really?)
Price: Paying for Peace of Mind
At ₹78,000 – ₹82,000 (ex-showroom), it’s not the cheapest. But you’re paying for:
✅ Honda’s legendary reliability
✅ Best-in-class resale value
✅ Service centers in every corner of the country
Who’s It For?
✔ First-time riders – Easy to learn on, impossible to kill
✔ Families – Durable enough to be passed down generations
✔ Anyone who prioritizes reliability over excitement
Who Should Look Elsewhere?
❌ Tech lovers – Check out the TVS Jupiter or Ola S1 Air
❌ Performance seekers – The Suzuki Access 125 is peppier
Final Verdict: The Scooter Equivalent of Dal Chawal
The Activa 7G isn’t the most exciting, tech-loaded, or fastest scooter out there. But much like dal chawal, it’s comforting, dependable, and always hits the spot. In a world of flashy EVs and feature-packed rivals, sometimes you just want something that starts every morning without drama.
