If you have travelled along Indian roads, there are high possibilities that you have already been overtaken by a Honda Activa speeding past. Over the years, Activa series has been the workhorse of the Indian commuting with its reliability, fuel consumption and easy ride feel. And this time Honda has gone a notch higher with the Honda Activa 7G, a scooter that is technologically advanced, comfortable and has offered a performance like never before.
A Quick Look at the Legacy
Since this Honda Activa was launched in 2001, it has been a household name. Since the Activa 3G, with every new generation, the improvements were made that made the city commute even more comfortable and intelligent. The Activa 7G carries on that legacy now although with a much greater emphasis on modern design, digital technology and sustainability.
Design: Shiny, Futuristic and Attention grabbing.
- The initial observation about the Activa 7G is the renewed appearance. Although it still retains the traditional Activa shape, Honda has made it sporty and aerodynamic.
- The taillight and LED headlamp make it look high end.
- The styling is made elegant by the chrome accents on the front apron and side panel.
- It has new dual-tone color choices such as Pearl Nightstar black and matte Axis grey which contribute to the trendy look.
- All in all, the Activa 7G is a good-looking, but not overwhelmingly expensive, bike suitable to be utilized by young riders and the family.
Engine and Performance
- The sleek-bodied Honda Activa 7G has a 109.51cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, same as the one in the 6G but better tuned to give greater efficiency and smoother throttle reaction.
- This engine has a power of 7.7 PS and a torque of 8.9 Nm which is not so massive on paper but is well balanced to ride in the city and do the short hauls on the highway.
- The scooter is also equipped with the Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) technology by Honda that helps in reducing friction and gives the scooter a smoother start. Together with the Silent Start with ACG, you will have a smooth and noise-free start each and every time.
Fuel Efficiency and Mileage
Activa has always had a strong side in mileage and 7G is not an exception to Honda. Its smart fuel injection engine provides a great mileage of 50-55 km/l, depending on the conditions of the ride.
Another product that conserves fuel is the Idling Stop System (ISS) that uses Honda technology to automatically shutting down the engine when you are stuck in traffic and re-commonly engage the throttle when you turn it.
Ride and Handling
The Activa 7G is mounted on a telescopic front and 3-step adjustable rear suspension, which makes it more comfortable in the city roads that are not smooth. It passes without hitting any bumps and potholes which daily commuters are going to value.
Its scooter has 12-inch front and 10-inch rear wheels giving it better balance and cornering stability. It is not heavy and that is why both men and women can find it convenient when traversing the road or in a congested parking lot.
Comfort and Convenience
Honda is quite familiar with its riders, comfort and utility are the most important. The Activa 7G has a number of considerate details:
- Digital-Analog Instrument Cluster: Shows service reminders, fuel efficiency, and trip meter.
- Front Fuel Lid: The ability to refuel without opening the seat is time efficient.
- Large Under-Seat Storage: Fits easily a helmet or shopping bags.
- USB Charging Port: Charges your phone when you are on the ride.
Little such upgrades make the commute daily bearable and pleasurable.
Braking and Safety
Honda pays a lot of attention to safety and Honda Activa 7G is also equipped with a Combined Braking System (CBS) with equalizer that ensures a comfortable and balanced braking. The braking mechanism has drum brakes fitted on both wheels that are sufficient to drive in the city.
The metal body covers provide a safer and more durable ride than the fiber-based scooters and the Activa stands as a long-term and reliable ally.
New additions and Technology.
The Activa 7G is not just a change of heart in appearance:
Smart Key System: This will enable you to start your scooter without a key, to open the rear seat remotely, and, probably, to locate your scooter in a large parking lot.
LED package lighting: More energy efficient and brighter.
Side-Stand Engine Cut-Off: This does not allow the scooter to start when the stand is lowered down, a very nice safety measure.
These intelligent additions have well propelled Honda to the future with the Activa.
Colors and Variants
The Activa 7G is proposed by Honda in various stylish colors including:
- Pearl Siren Blue
- Rebel Red Metallic
- Matte Axis Grey Metallic
- Black Deluxe
- Pearl Precious White
You have the option of the Standard and Deluxe models – the Deluxe model with the addition of the digital cluster and chrome styling.
Price and Availability
Although Honda has not stated the actual price of the Activa 7G in every market, the price is likely to be in the range of 80,000 to 90,000 ex-showroom in India.
This pricing has put it into a good competition with the TVS Jupiter 125, Hero Destini 125 and Suzuki Access 125, as it creates the right combination of value and quality.
