Pros
Cons
Based on the features, technology and design, the Honda Activa 5G is one of the most reliable scooters in the market.
Honda Activa 5G offers a smooth ride, comfortable ergonomics, along with an extended mileage of 60 kmpl.
Its qualities combinedly make it an ideal scooter for long drives and daily use but at a competitive price.
There is no doubt that the 5G model is a much enhanced and refined variant of its predecessors. However, most Indian riders who buy a scooter over a bike do so because of the former’s utility and features. Missing out on essential elements like telescopic suspensions and disc brakes can affect the scooter’s popularity, especially when the competitors provide the parts at the same price.
However, with just a few tweaks, such as stronger brakes, telescopic suspension, and a few more functional enhancements, Honda can comfortably justify 5G’s price.
Honda Activa 5G is available in 10 different colors namely Dazzle Yellow Metallic, Matte Axis Grey Metallic, Majestic Brown Metallic, Trance Blue Metallic, Pearl Spartan Red, Pearl Amazing White, Matte Selene Silver Metallic, Black, Strontium Silver Metallic / Pearl Igneous Black & Pearl Precious White / Matte Selene Silver.

Detailed Comparision - |
The Honda Activa brand dominates the scooter industry in India. Since Honda entered the Indian market after its split from Kinetic in 2000, the Activa scooter has been the first choice of many Indian families.
The sales numbers are enough to prove the dominance of the Activa brand as it owns nearly 51% market share of the entire scooter sales in India. To ensure Activa’s influence, Honda has regularly updated the scooters. We will be discussing one of the recent versions of the Activa brand, the 5G or 5th Generation Activa.
The cosmetic updates on the Activa 5G make it somewhat appealing and give the scooter a stylish and sleek appeal. It now comes with LED headlights along with dual chrome inserts on the front body. While the LED headlights deliver the scooter a fresh touch, you might feel slight discomfort during rainy or foggy days. Activa’s fit and finish have been one of its most significant selling points, especially its metal body.
There are four variants of the scooter - Standard, Standard -Limited, Deluxe and Deluxe - limited. Speaking about the instrument cluster, Honda has shifted to a semi-digital one since the Activa 125. It further has an ‘eco’ indicator for the Deluxe variant. This eco light assists you to ensure optimum efficiency. The switches are of top quality and function well too. The Activa 5G starts at an ex-showroom price of Rs. 55,934 and goes up to Rs. 58,199 for the top variant, the Activa 5G Deluxe Limited.
The premium Honda scooter is powered by a single-cylinder, air-cooled, 110 cc engine, which generates a max power of 8 bhp at 7500 rpm and a peak torque of 9.6 Nm at 5,500 rpm, just like the one in 4G. The Activa scooter is hailed for its brilliant mileage of 60 kmpl coupled with a fuel tank capacity of 5.3 L. One can quickly expect a riding range of over 300 km with a full tank.
Overall, Honda has played it safe with the Activa 5G and has kept the updates on the cosmetic level. But will it be sufficient to sustain its top-selling rank significantly when the competition has improved exponentially?
In terms of competition, the Activa 5G competes with TVS Jupiter, Honda Dio and Yamaha Fascino in the scooter market.
