Honda has officially launched the much-awaited Activa 8G, the latest generation of India’s most trusted scooter. Known for its unmatched reliability, smooth performance, and excellent resale value, the Activa brand has consistently ruled the two-wheeler segment.
With the 8th generation, Honda ups its game in design, features, and fuel efficiency and the result is a scooter that looks fresh, feels premium, and runs longer than ever. Priced starting at just ₹77,000 (ex-showroom), the Activa 8G is set to continue the legacy, while appealing strongly to both new riders and loyalists.
Refreshed Design and Smarter Features
The Honda Activa 8G introduces a sleeker and more modern design with sharper contours, chrome highlights, and updated LED DRLs for a more contemporary look. The scooter now looks more premium, especially with the new dual-tone color options and stylish graphics that add flair to its already popular silhouette. Honda has also added a new digital-analog meter console that now shows real-time fuel efficiency and range a welcome addition for riders who value economy.
One of the biggest highlights of the Activa 8G is its Smart Key System, which brings a host of modern convenience features like keyless start, anti-theft system, and remote seat and fuel lid unlocking. These were previously seen only in more premium scooters, making the 8G a more value-packed offering.
Unmatched Mileage – Up to 89 KMPL
Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Activa 8G is its claimed fuel efficiency of up to 89 KMPL, thanks to Honda’s enhanced Smart Power (eSP) technology and refined 109.51cc engine. The silent start system remains, along with the eco switch, which now plays a more active role in optimizing mileage. This makes the 8G not only smarter and better looking but also India’s most fuel-efficient Activa ever.
