What’s New? (And What’s Not?)
The Activa 7G isn’t a radical redesign—Honda knows better than to mess with success. Instead, it gets smart tweaks where they matter:
✔ New Eco-Speed Indicator – A tiny light that tells you when you’re riding in the most fuel-efficient range. (Helpful? Maybe. Gimmicky? A little.)
✔ Updated Digital Console – Now with a real-time mileage indicator, service reminder, and clock. Still no Bluetooth, but hey, it’s an Activa.
✔ Slightly Tweaked Styling – Smoother body panels, new chrome accents, and refreshed graphics. It’s still unmistakably an Activa, just a bit more modern.
Engine & Performance: Same Trusty Workhorse
The 109.51cc HET (Honda Eco Technology) engine carries over, and that’s not a bad thing.
- 7.79 BHP @ 8,000 RPM
- 8.79 Nm torque @ 5,250 RPM
- Mileage: 50-55 kmpl (real-world)
It’s not the quickest (0-40 kmph takes its sweet time), but it’s butter-smooth, vibration-free, and ridiculously reliable. Perfect for city commuting, but don’t expect thrills.
Ride & Handling: Comfort First
- Seat height (765mm) is low and accessible for all riders.
- Suspension is soft—great for bad roads, but can feel bouncy with a pillion.
- Weight (106 kg) makes it easy to maneuver in traffic.
The Activa has always been about stress-free riding, and the 7G keeps that tradition alive.
Features? Don’t Expect Too Much
Honda plays it safe here. You get:
- External fuel filler (no more lifting the seat!)
- Idle Start-Stop (ISS) – Saves fuel in traffic, but some find it annoying.
- Combined braking system (CBS) – Not ABS, but better than nothing.
Missing?
❌ No disc brake option (still drum brakes on both wheels)
❌ No USB charging port (come on, Honda!)
Price: Still Premium, Still Worth It?
Priced at ₹78,000 – ₹82,000 (ex-showroom) , the Activa 7G isn’t the cheapest. But resale value, Honda’s reliability, and low maintenance justify the cost for most buyers.
Who Should Buy It?
✅ First-time riders – Easy to ride, impossible to kill.
✅ Families – Durable, comfortable, and trusted.
✅ City commuters – Fuel-efficient and hassle-free.
Who Should Look Elsewhere?
❌ Performance seekers – Check out the TVS NTorq or Suzuki Access 125.
❌ Tech lovers – The Ola S1 Air offers more features for less.
Final Verdict: Evolution, Not Revolution
The Activa 7G doesn’t rewrite the scooter rulebook—it just polishes an already winning formula. If you want dependability, comfort, and resale value, it’s still the safest choice. But if you crave features or excitement, rivals offer more.
