2018 Honda Activa 5G launched at Rs 52,460

Honda has launched the Activa 5G at Rs 52,460 for the STD variant and Rs 54,325 for the DLX variant (both prices, ex-showroom Delhi). The Activa 5G, as the name suggests, is the fifth-generation model of the scooter. It gets an LED headlamp, two new colours, and a few other updates. The STD variant of the 5G is priced Rs 1,000 more than the Activa 4G which currently retails for Rs 51,460 (ex-showroom Delhi).

For the fifth generation, Honda has also added a DLX variant. This variant comes with a digi-analogue instrument cluster that gets Eco and service-due indicator lights. Both variants of the Activa 5G have an all-LED headlamp and chrome styling inserts. They also feature a new front hook to carry small bags, and a tougher metal muffler protector. Lastly, the new Activa 5G variants are available in two new colours – Dazzle Yellow Metallic and Pearl Spartan Red. Like its more premium sibling, the Grazia, the Activa 5G also features a seat-opening switch that is positioned next to the ignition. 

Mechanically, the Activa 5G remains unchanged and uses the same 109cc, single-cylinder engine that makes 8hp at 7,500rpm and 9Nm of torque at 5,500rpm. The engine, of course, conforms to BS-IV emission norms.
