Honda Activa has almost always been the unquestioned leader of the scooter segment in India. Activa has been ruling the streets for over a decade now and its reign hasn’t gone unchallenged. And now in 2025, the Honda is back with an all new version of the tried and tested scooter, the 2025 Honda Activa 6G which comes with a host of new features, more modern design and even better fuel economy.
What makes this return exciting, however, is how Honda’s been able to walk a tightrope between affordability and clever innovation. This new Activa 6G not only offers the claimed mileage of over 60 kmpl, but also gets modern technologies, such as smart key options, premium design highlights, and a more refined engine, all at a very affordable price.
Premium Design Refresh
Design And Styling At the very first look, Honda Activa 6G 2025 looks more aerodynamic and premium than ever seen Appearancetag popularly and makes year of its previous older version model. However the overall shape is still classic scooter styling, Honda added a few styling cues that are sure to attract riders of all ages.
Up front is the new face with a more detailed and bolder chrome detailing and a sharper LED headlamp which looks a lot more upmarket now. There’s a re-designed, aero edged body panels and the fit-finish of the new scooter too feels sturdy.
It gives the scooter a more wholesome presence on the road. Even the color choices are getting a revamp with new colors including Matte Axis Grey, Pearl Siren Blue, and Dazzle Yellow Metallic.
60+ KMPL Mileage for Everyday Savings
One of the key highlights of the new Activa 6G is its better fuel efficiency. The scooter is calibrated to give a mileage of 60+ kilometres per litre, among the best in scooters in this category. That makes it a good option for people who commute daily but want to save at the fuel pump.
This improved mileage is thanks to the feature-packed PGM-Fi (Programmed Fuel Injection) technology and Honda’s eSP (Enhanced Smart Power) technology. These design elements not only help increase fuel efficiency but also provide cleaner, smoother engine performance.
Refined Engine with Silent Start
The Activa 6G gets a 109.51cc BS6-compliant engine which is best suited for city riding. The engine is good enough for daily urban ride with its 7.79 PS of power and 8.84 Nm of torque.
However, the real standout is Honda’s Silent Start with ACG. And with it’s silent start, you do not have the cranky sound when you’re revving the scooter that makes it perfect for early morning rides or noiseless night commutes.
And it is smoother, quieter and with less vibration than the old bike. It’s great for anyone looking for an easy-to-manage, smooth and efficient scooter.
Modern Rider Smart Features
Honda has gone above and beyond with the Activa 6G, however, in not only being about fuel economy and looks but added some smart features that you would expect in today’s day and age. Well, the top variant gets a Smart Key System, which allows you to lock, unlock and locate the scooter from a distance. That’s a benefit seldom seen in this segment.
The analogue-digital meters tell us important details such as fuel level, trip meter and instantaneous mileage. The External Fuel Filler Cap is a great new feature that allows you to easily fill up your scoot without having to get under the seat. When combined with a multi-function switch, it contributes to rider comfort.
There’s also telescopic front suspension, which is such an important feature for our kind of roads, with speed breakers and potholes, and it similarly enhances ride quality.
Comfort and Practicality
The Activa 6G was one of the comfiest scooters around, and the high level of comfort continues on this model. The ergos suit short and tall riders very well. It has a wide, comfortable seat that lets you ride smoothly over longer distances.
You also get a large 18L boot under the seat for small backpack or helmet. Honda has also included dual hooks for hanging bags or groceries, so the scooter is more of a useful daily commuter.
The floorboard are still large enough for feet, or to carry something in a small bag between your knees.
Safety First
One area where, all in all, Honda still leads the way is safety. The Activa 6G gets CBS (Combi-Braking System) that applies both brakes front and rear together, aiding safer braking.
The tubeless tires, however, would help from a sudden tire puncture and the full metal body is way stronger than fiberglass-based body scooters.
Budget-Friendly Pricing
Maybe the biggest draw of this bundle is the price. The Honda Activa 6G price (as of early-2020) is ₹64,464 for the Standard variant and ₹65,964 for the Deluxe variant and ₹66,524 for Deluxe – DRL Pack variant (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Even the top model with smart features is under ₹80,000, which is a steal. For those riders who are after a familiar name, smart features, fair mileage, and great design, without the hefty price tag this scooter fits the bill.
Variants and Color Options
The Activa 6G is available in two versions: Standard and Smart. Although the engine and basic features are same in both models, Smart adds more features such as remote key-less control, anti-theft immobilizer, and all-LED lighting.
For buyers, the color options can vary including shades such as the Mat Axis Grey, the Pearl Precious White, the Rebel Red Metallic, along with some brighter colors that cater to both young riders as well as families.
Conclusion
However, the Honda Activa 6G 2025 version is not just a refresh for the wheelio it’s a well planned upgradation that fuses legacy with modern technology. From its beautifully engineered engine to the good looking milage, you get everything you could in a Cherry in one smart package.
Priced affordably and boasting of low maintenance cost and the after-sales network from Honda across the country, we believe the Activa 6G will continue to reign as India’s most-loved scooter in 2025 and further.
