The Honda Activa is the highest selling two-wheeler in the Indian market. With the newest iteration, the Activa 5G has received a slew of upgrades to bring it on par with the current crop of 110cc scooters. The front apron gets chrome accents, although the LED headlamp has to be the biggest highlight. The top-spec Deluxe variant even gets a digital display below the analogue speedometer, which shows the fuel gauge, odometer and trip meter and a clock. The Activa 5G also gets the new ignition key slot from the Grazia, which has the provision for the seat release.
At the heart of the Activa 5G is the same 109cc engine which delivers 8bhp and 8.8Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a CVT transmission. It still rides on the archaic trailing-link front suspension and a rear monoshock. The brake setup consists of drum units at both ends with a combi braking system being offered as standard.
The Activa 5G is available in eight paint schemes – blue, white, red, silver, black, grey brown and yellow. It shares the market space with the TVS Jupiter, Hero Maestro Edge and the Yamaha Fascino.
