At a glance: The journey of Activa and the arrival of 7G
The Activa has seen many changes in its journey. With every new generation, Honda has added new features to make it even more perfect. The 7G model is completely redesigned, giving it a distinct identity from its predecessor, the 6G. The new look is not only beautiful but also more aerodynamic.
Beautiful and modern design
At first glance, the Activa 7G grabs your attention with its bold and sharp styling.
Front and Headlight: It has a new, more angular front apron with a huge and bold headlight unit. This LED projector headlight not only looks attractive but also illuminates the road better at night, thereby increasing safety
New colour palette: Honda has introduced it with many new and attractive colour options, which suit the choice of both young and experienced riders.
Build quality: Honda’s trusted build quality is clearly visible in it. The fit and finish between the panels is of high level, which gives a premium feel.
Powerful and efficient engine
The heart of the Activa 7G is its 109.51cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. According to Honda, this engine is more efficient and refined than before.
Power and performance: This engine produces 7.68 HP of power and 8.84 Nm of torque. This performance is very zippy and adequate in urban traffic. Thanks to the automatic V-Matic gear system, it is very easy and comfortable to drive.
Mileage: The Activa has always been known for its great mileage. The 7G model also continues this tradition and is claimed to deliver an average mileage of ~60 kmpl, making it an affordable option for daily commute.
Refinement: The engine improvements have reduced the noise and vibrations, making it comfortable even on long rides.
Advanced Features and Technology
With the 7th generation, Honda has equipped the Activa with many new and modern features that take it a step ahead of its competitors.
Uprated Start/Stop System (HET): This is a great feature that helps save fuel and reduce pollution. When the scooter is idle for a few seconds, the engine automatically shuts off. It starts running immediately when you twist the gas throttle.
Advanced Digital Meter Console: It gets a new semi-digital instrument cluster that clearly displays speed, fuel level, trip meter and other details.
Fuel Gauge and Low-Fuel Warning:Riders now know how much petrol is left in the tank, eliminating the problem of sudden fuel running out.
Side Stand Engine Cut-Off: This is an important safety feature that prevents the engine from starting if the side stand is engaged by mistake.
Under-Seat Storage: The Activa’s huge under-seat storage (18 litres) remains the same as before, which easily accommodates a helmet. It also gets a utility hook that can be used to hang bags.
Ride and Handling
The riding experience of the Activa 7G is extremely comfortable and stable.
Suspension: It gets telescopic forks at the front and spring-loaded shock absorbers at the rear. This setup is well suited to the harsh conditions of Indian roads and absorbs the shock from small potholes and uneven surfaces.
Braking:* The disc brake variants get Combi-Brake System (CBS). Whenever you apply the rear brake, this system automatically applies some force to the front brake as well. This makes braking safer and more balanced.
Wheels and Tyres: The 12-inch wheels provide stability. Tubeless tyres are another safety feature that lets you handle the scooter even in case of a slow deflation.
Who should buy the Activa 7G?
First-time scooter buyers: Its easy operation and light weight make it ideal for beginners.
Office commuters: Easy city maneuverability and economical mileage make it the perfect daily commute companion.
Family use:For budget and middle-class families, comfortable for every member of the family, young and old, children (above 18 years)
Honda brand fans: For those who value quality and reliability above all else, Activa has always been a top choice. They are familiar with Honda’s strengths and capabilities.
Conclusion: A perfect blend of tradition and modernity
Honda Activa 7G is not just an upgrader, but a thoughtful evolution. It has everything a typical Indian rider needs: Reliability, fuel efficiency, comfort, practical features and a premium look. While Honda has equipped it with new-age technology, it has not tampered with the core identity that made it the most popular scooter in the country. If you are looking for a practical, efficient and stylish automatic scooter, the Activa 7G should be on top of your shortlist.
