New Active 7G:- The Honda Activa has ruled Indian roads for 20+ years, becoming the go-to scooter for everyday travel. Now, the Activa 7G is set to launch with smart upgrades designed especially for women riders—who make up a growing part of India’s two-wheeler scene.

Expected to hit showrooms by mid-2025, this next-gen Activa brings serious updates to a scooter that’s already sold over 25 million units.

For young riders like 22-year-old college student Priya Sharma, it’s a big deal. “My mom had an Activa—now I’m waiting for the 7G to get mine,” she says. Scooters are no longer just convenient—they’re empowering tools for modern women.

The Activa 7G also shows Honda’s answer to the new competition in the premium scooter space, where style, tech, and comfort now matter more than ever.

 Stylish new design that grabs attention.

New Active 7G looks sharper and more modern but still keeps that classic shape everyone’s used to seeing on Indian roads.

According to leaked pics and insider info, it now has sleeker body panels with bold lines that give it a clean, stylish look without being too flashy.

The front end gets a big upgrade  there’s now an H-shaped LED headlight that’s brighter and gives the scooter a bold presence on the road.

Chrome detailing has been added in the right places, making it feel more premium without overdoing it.

The seat is now redesigned with comfort in mind, and they’ve lowered it slightly to 765mm so shorter riders  especially women  feel more confident and stable.

It’ll come in eight colors, including four brand-new ones that aim to attract younger riders who want more than just plain paint.

Rahul Patel, one of the design engineers, said they really focused on how different people  especially women  use their scooters. So things like seating comfort and extra storage have been upgraded based on real user feedback.

Better Power, Smarter Fuel Use.

Under the sharp new look, the 2025 Activa 7G packs some real upgrades under the skin. Honda kept the proven 110cc engine, but it’s been tuned to give a bit more power — now pushing out about 8.3 horsepower and 8.9 Nm of torque. That means it feels better in everyday rides without messing with the reliability people love.

Fuel economy is even better now, with the scooter giving around 60 km/l in normal riding. That’s about 7% better than before. Honda pulled that off by improving how the engine breathes, cutting down friction inside, and making fuel burn cleaner — not by dialing back the performance.

The CVT gearbox has also been upgraded for smoother shifting and longer life. It now responds better when you hit the gas hard. Honda engineers also worked on reducing engine vibrations and noise, so rides feel smoother and quieter, especially if you’re using it for longer commutes.

Extra Feature:
The Activa 7G now comes with a new Eco Ride Indicator on the dash. It tells you when you’re riding in the most fuel-efficient way — super useful when fuel prices keep jumping up and down.

Tech upgrades built for today’s everyday riders.

New Active 7G steps up big-time in the tech game. It now has a full digital dashboard with Bluetooth, so you can see calls, use maps, and control music from your phone. There’s even a USB charger in the front glove box to keep your phone alive on the go.

Honda added its H-Smart tech too  no key needed to start the scooter, unlock the seat, or stop thieves. That used to be only on expensive models. Now it’s in the Activa.

All the lights  front, back, indicators  are LED now, so they’re brighter and use less power. You can even talk to your scooter with voice commands to control basic stuff while riding, so you don’t need to take your hands off the handlebars.

Bottom line: Honda didn’t just throw in features to show off. They added tech that actually makes your daily ride smoother, smarter, and safer.

 Smart storage spots for your daily stuff.

Honda knows storage is important for daily use, so they made the Activa 7G’s storage bigger and smarter. The under seat space grew from 18 to 22 liters, enough to fit a full-face helmet plus more stuff. The front glove box got a redesign with two sections: one open for quick access and one lockable for valuables, which also has a USB charging port. They added extra hooks to hold shopping bags or purses, helping riders, especially women, manage their things while riding. The floorboard is now flatter and a bit longer, giving more room for feet and space to keep bags between the rider’s legs. Honda studied how women often carry many items daily, and these changes directly help meet those needs.

Comfort and ease improved greatly.

New Active 7G focuses on rider comfort big time, making your daily ride smoother and easier.

• The seat is upgraded with soft foam on top and firm support underneath, so your butt stays comfy even on longer rides.
• Suspension now has 10mm more travel at the front and back—this means it soaks up bumps better but doesn’t get wobbly in turns.
• Handlebars are moved up and closer to you, so you sit straighter and don’t kill your shoulders or wrists in traffic.
• The front panel now deflects wind smarter, keeping windblast off your chest when riding fast.
• Footboard has better grip with a rough surface, which means your feet won’t slip during rainy rides.

Bottom line: it’s built to make your everyday ride a lot more relaxed, even in tough city traffic or bad weather.

 Safety Stuff That Actually Helps You .

The new Activa 7G takes safety seriously  and it shows. It’s built to give you more      control and peace of  mind, especially if you’re not a two-wheeler pro.

• Braking’s better now. Honda improved the combo braking system so the scooter slows down more smoothly and evenly, no matter the road.
• ABS is coming. For the first time ever on an Activa, the higher models will get ABS (anti-lock braking), which helps stop the scooter safer in sudden situations.
• Bigger front tyre = better grip. The front tyre is now 12 inches (was 10), which means it handles potholes and rough roads more confidently.
• Higher ground clearance. It now sits 171mm off the ground (up from 162mm), so you don’t scrape on speed breakers or bad roads.
• Side stand safety tech. If the side stand is down, the engine won’t start. If it’s down while running, the engine shuts off. It stops you from riding off like that by mistake.
• Brighter lights. The new LED headlamp spreads wider and farther, which makes night rides safer — especially useful for riders who often travel after dark.
  

  What it’ll cost and who’s buying.

Honda hasn’t officially shared the price yet, but experts say the new Activa 7G will cost a bit more than the current version because it comes with more features.

The basic model is expected to start at around ₹80,000, and the top-end version could go up to ₹95,000. That’s a small jump in price, but you get better tech, safety, and comfort in return.

That puts it slightly above rivals like the TVS Jupiter and Suzuki Access, but Honda is betting that its trusted brand name and all the new upgrades will make it worth the extra money.

Bookings will likely open about a month before the official launch, and there’s already a lot of buzz—especially in cities—where people are excited to buy it.

An auto expert summed it up best: “This isn’t just a scooter for women—it’s freedom on two wheels. And many are happy to pay more for that kind of quality and peace of mind.”

How Activa 7G Will Shake Up Scooter Market.

New Active 7G is stepping into a tough market. Competitors like TVS and Suzuki are not sitting quietly—they’re working on better versions of the Jupiter and Access to take Honda’s spot at the top.

But Honda has three strong cards: trust, service centers everywhere, and a fan base that won’t switch easily. That gives the 7G a real edge.

This scooter is clearly made with women riders in mind—easy to ride, packed with storage, and loaded with comfort and safety features. That focus could help Honda lock down a growing market of female riders.

Experts say the premium scooter market will grow fast—about 18% each year for the next three years. So, Honda’s timing is perfect.

Even with electric scooters becoming popular, Honda is still making strong petrol scooters while they build their EV lineup. The 7G proves they’re not backing down.

This isn’t just a small update. It’s a full-on upgrade to what a smart, modern scooter should be—especially for young riders who want independence, mobility, and something that just works.

When the Activa 7G hits showrooms next year, it’s not just showing up—it’s showing who’s boss.
