Activa's new price of ₹91,178 places it comfortably below the ₹1 lakh mark that many buyers use as a benchmark. The 123.92cc single‑cylinder engine churns out 8.3hp and 10.5Nm, giving it a top speed of about 80 km/h and a city‑friendly torque curve that helps with city starts and hill climbs.
The scooter weighs 107 kg, which keeps it nimble in traffic, and its 33‑litre under‑seat storage can hold two helmets and a small backpack. The 4.2‑inch TFT display shows speed, battery level, and a navigation icon when paired with the Honda RoadSync app—Bluetooth connectivity lets you receive call and message alerts right on the dash.
When you line up the Activa against its peers, the TVS Jupiter comes in at ₹81,700 but offers less tech and a 33‑litre storage space that feels ample for daily use. Suzuki Access starts at ₹82,185 and is a leaner option with a 10.2Nm torque, but it lacks the TFT display unless you pick the top variant. The Suzuki Burgman Street, priced at ₹1.04 lakh, is a maxi‑scooter with a 5.5‑litre tank and a front disc brake, making it feel more like a cruiser. TVS Ntorq, at ₹83,850, gives a sportier look and a 124.8cc engine that’s a tad more powerful, but its front disc brakes are only on higher trims.
Policy shifts also play a role. With the new EV mandate tightening, import duties on imported batteries have eased, making it cheaper for manufacturers to add Bluetooth and TFT displays without pushing prices too high. For buyers, that translates to more features for the same pocket change.
The Activa is already in showrooms across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, with deliveries scheduled to start next month. Keep an eye on the upcoming 2027 models, which are likely to push the 125cc segment into even higher tech territory—think larger displays, more autonomous features, and perhaps a mild‑hybrid option.
