Hello friends, if you’ve ever ridden a scooter in India—or even just thought about owning one—there’s a good chance the name Honda Activa has crossed your mind. For years, it has ruled the hearts of riders across the country, from bustling cities to quiet towns. And now, the legend is back in a brand-new avatar: the Honda Activa 8G. With a fresh look, smarter features, and even better performance, this 8th-generation model is ready to win you over once again.
Let’s take a friendly ride through everything that makes the Activa 8G a “dhakad” (power-packed) choice for today’s riders.
A Stylish New Look That Turns Heads
The Activa 8G has received a makeover that perfectly blends modern design with the familiar comfort we all know and love. Its sharp, angular front apron now comes with a bold LED headlamp and sleek V-shaped position lamps, making it look smart and ensuring better visibility—especially during those evening commutes.
But that’s not all. Honda has added subtle chrome touches that give it a premium feel without overdoing it. The side panels have been redesigned to not only look cool but also improve how air flows around the scooter, making your ride smoother and more efficient. And when you’re on the road, the new 3D-style LED tail lamp ensures you’re seen clearly from behind.
With eight striking color options—including the eye-catching Magnificent Copper Metallic and the classy Pristine White Pearl—you can truly make this scooter your own. Plus, the matte finish options are a total win for anyone who wants a modern, no-gloss look.
More Power, Less Fuel Worries
Under the hood, or rather under the seat, the Activa 8G comes powered by Honda’s refined 110cc enhanced Smart Power (eSP) engine. This engine is designed to give you that zippy city performance while still being super fuel-efficient. Thanks to advanced Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI), the scooter adjusts fuel delivery smartly based on your riding conditions, helping you get around 60–65 km/l in test conditions—and still a solid 55–60 km/l in real-world city rides.
One of the coolest additions is the Idle Stop System. If you’re waiting at a red light or stuck in traffic, the engine automatically shuts off when you stop for more than three seconds—and restarts the moment you twist the throttle. It’s smart, silent, and saves a lot of fuel over time.
The ACG starter motor makes sure the engine starts smoothly and quietly, and the updated cooling system keeps things running fine even on those long, hot rides through traffic.
Built for Everyday Life
Honda clearly understands the needs of everyday riders, and the Activa 8G proves it. The scooter now comes with a USB-C charging port in the front compartment so you can charge your phone on the go. The underseat storage has been improved to fit a full-face helmet and your essentials too—and yes, there’s even an automatic light inside the storage area!
There’s also a new multi-function switch that lets you control the digital display and flash your high-beam without ever taking your hands off the handlebar. The updated instrument cluster mixes classic analog style with a digital display that shows real-time mileage, fuel level, and even service reminders.
And let’s not forget the SmartKey system. With this feature, you don’t need to take the key out to unlock or start the scooter. It even comes with an anti-theft immobilizer and remote seat-opening function—super handy when your hands are full with groceries or parcels.

Comfort That Goes the Extra Mile
Comfort is king when it comes to two-wheelers, and the Activa 8G truly delivers. The floorboard has been made more spacious, with a textured surface to keep your feet from slipping. The seat now has softer, better-shaped cushioning that supports you even on longer rides.
Even the handlebar position has been fine-tuned to reduce wrist strain and make your ride more relaxed. But perhaps the most impressive upgrade is the 3-step adjustable rear suspension, part of Honda’s new ComfortTech design. Whether you’re riding solo or with a pillion, carrying a backpack or groceries, the Activa 8G adapts to give you a smooth ride every time.
Final Thoughts
The Honda Activa 8G is more than just a scooter—it’s a trustworthy companion for your everyday journey. With its smart new features, elegant looks, improved fuel efficiency, and unmatched comfort, it’s ready to continue being India’s most loved two-wheeler. So if you’re planning to buy a scooter that truly understands your lifestyle, the Activa 8G is calling your name.
