Honda Activa 7G – Evolution of India’s Favourite Scooter The Honda Activa is actually a brand, a word that people grew up hearing in India for almost two decades and became synonymous with affordable, reliable and practicality translated into fuel efficiency.
Honda has been refining Activa in every iteration to be able to keep pace with the evolving consumer needs.
The Honda Activa 7G is the latest version of this iconic scooter, carrying forward the legacy in terms of design,
Features and tech and making it one of the strongest contenders in the 110cc scooter space.
Design and Styling
On the face of it, the Activa 7G continues with the same old shape that Activa customers have grown to trust.
But some small upgrades make it appear more contemporary and upscale. The front apron and chrome garnish are also more striking now.
OLED headlight and redesigned indicators add a touch of class.
The over all look is sleek and unadorned — an intentional style by Honda to win over a broad base, from young commuters to geriatric riders.
The Activa 7G is still made of metal panels, which means, apart from making the scooter feel rugged, it is also durable to withstand the daily wear and tear.
Features and Technology
One of the major upgrades in the Activa 7G is in the form of intelligent technology.
The scooter is now loaded with Honda Smart Key tech such as remote unlock, keyless ignition, and an anti-theft alarm – a significant jump in convenience and safety.
It further gets a full-digital instrument cluster that reads out real-time fuel mileage, range and trip data and is far more informative than before.
Additional highlights include an external fuel lid for the convenience in refueling, a silent start feature via ACG starter motor,
And an engine start/stop button to save fuel during traffic stoppages. Those are small changes that makes all the difference, as it becomes a lot easier and faster to use.

Engine and Performance
The Activa 7G is powered by the proven109.51cc single-cylinder, air-cooled motor BS6 Phase 2 emission compliant motor.
It generates approximately 7.79 PS of power and 8.84 Nm of peak torque and propels up to speed with ease, thanks to smooth acceleration and comfortable city riding.
The power numbers might sound low, but then the Activa is bult for refinement and mileage, not outright performance, isn’t it?
It’s great in stop-and-go traffic as well, since its power delivery is linear and low-end torque is good.
Its CVT transmission is a great one, and the mill stays smooth and free of harsh noises and vibrations over a broad speed range.
Honda’s fuel-injection tech makes for cleaner, crisper throttle response than previous carbureted set ups.
Ride Quality and Comfort
The Activa 7G continues to get a comfortable commuter-centric layout. It comes equipped with telescopic front suspension,
And a 3-step adjustable rear shock for a balanced, comfortable ride on uneven city roads. Its seat is long, wide and comfy for rider and pillion alike.
The scooter has a wide floorboard to comfortably place your feet, and the low seat height should enable most members of the family to mount it!
With a wheelbase of 6.3 feet and 12-inch front and 10-inch rear wheels, the Vehicle’s stable handling helps make riding it more fun,
And the combi-braking system (CBS) with equalizer provides secure and safe stopping in urban traffic.
It’s brisk to handle, and the nimble frame is great for weaving through city traffic.
