The Honda Activa 8G is finally here, and guess what? It’s not just another update — it’s a smarter, sharper upgrade designed for the modern commuter. This scooter brings Honda’s trusted reliability from smoother rides to a smarter display, with a fresh twist. Whether you’re a student, a working professional, or just someone who needs a fuss-free ride, the Activa 8G is here to make your daily commute easier.
Let’s break down why everyone’s talking about this scooter.
Refined Engine with Better Efficiency
The Activa 8G runs on a 109.51cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that now meets OBD2B emission norms — making it cleaner and more efficient.
- Power Output: 7.8 PS @ 8000 RPM
- Torque: 8.9 Nm @ 5500 RPM
- Mileage: Around 46–47 km/l (claimed)
- Fuel tank: 5.3 litres
Thanks to Honda’s Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) tech, you get better combustion, less friction, and smooth performance — all while saving fuel. It also gets a silent start system, so no more loud cranks when starting up in the morning.

Idling Stop System — Save Fuel at Red Lights!
This feature is a lifesaver in city traffic.
The Idling Stop System automatically switches off the engine when you’re standing still for a few seconds — like at a traffic light — and turns it back on when you twist the throttle. It saves fuel and reduces emissions, without you doing a thing.
All-New 4.2-Inch TFT Display (H-Smart Only)
Now this is where the 8G gets futuristic.
The H-Smart variant comes with a brand-new TFT colour digital display, and it’s not just for speed and fuel info.
- Bluetooth Connectivity
- Turn-by-turn Navigation via Honda RoadSync app
- Call and SMS Alerts
- Trip Info + Fuel Efficiency Display
It’s bright, vibrant, and super useful if you’re always on the go. Other variants come with the familiar analog display.
USB Type-C Charging Port
No more dead phones during rides!
Honda has added a USB-C charging port right below the display — perfect for topping up your battery while you ride. It’s fast, it’s accessible, and it makes life simpler.
Alloy Wheels & Better Handling
- The H-Smart and DLX variants now get stylish alloy wheels, which are not just better-looking but also stronger and lighter.
- The STD variant continues with traditional steel wheels.
With 12-inch front and 10-inch rear wheels, the scooter offers a confident grip and smooth ride — even on bumpy city roads.
Smart Key Features (H-Smart Only)
The H-Smart variant gets keyless operation with the Smart Key system:
- Remote Engine Start
- Keyless Unlock
- Find My Scooter function
- Anti-theft immobilizer
These features are usually seen in cars, and now they’re in your everyday scooter!
