The Honda Activa 5G, the fifth entry in the Activa category, is in the market with two variants: DLX and STD. The price of the scooter varies from Rs. 54,632 to Rs. 56,497 (Ex showroom price Delhi). Black combined with silver and white infused with gold are the two color tones available with the scooter. Honda had also released a limited version of the 5G model. However, the only difference between them is the design. The advantages of buying the Honda 5G are fuel efficiency, strong build, a vast Honda network for post sales services. Meanwhile, the disadvantages of the scooter are the absence of front disc brake, outdated design, ride quality is not comfortable.
The Honda Activa i shares the same motor with the 5G (the 109cc). The most visible difference between the regular Activa and the i version is that it looks lighter and skinnier. The fuel tank capacity is of 5.3 litres. The advantages of the scooter are its affordable price, light body, and an efficient engine. The disadvantages of the scooter involve its outdated look and absence of features like an LED headlamp.
Another variant that Honda offers is the Honda Activa 125, which is the most superior one out of all. It is also the most expensive one in the Activa family. The advantages of the scooter involve alloy wheels, a comfortable riding experience, a large seating area, big footboard, an option of disc brake, combined braking system. However, the disadvantages of the scooter are its slightly high price, and the instrumentation used is not advanced.
