Honda Activa 7G: The Honda Activa 7G is the evolutionary version of one of India’s most favourite scooter. For the past 20 years and more, the Activa has stood for genuine, hassle-free motoring.
There will be small evolutionary changes that will improve everyday usability and keep the Activa’ virtues intact but with the 7G, Honda will look to bring those slightly smarter upgrades and put it against the best-seller yet again.
Catering to entry level, young professionals and family users, the Activa 7G doesn’t try to fix something that isn’t broken. Instead, it refines it.
With cosmetic changes, new tech and increased fuel efficiency, the scooter remains in demand in the overcrowded 110cc scooter space.
Familiar Yet Fresh Design
Looking closely, there isn’t much that has changed in the design of the Honda Activa 7G, at least not compared to the previous Activa iterations.
The rest of its design is fairly conservative and family-friendly, though there are some flourishes that lend it a modern touch.
The new LEd headlamp set up, slightly sharper body lines and reworked front apron make the scooter look modern without being overly radical.
The front and sides feature a bit of chrome detailing for premium flair. The rest of the fit and finish remains among the best in the segment, and, in an attempt to appeal to younger buyers with the CBR, Honda has added new color schemes.
It’s not flashy or loud, but it has been a design that has played well across various age groups and locations.
Useful and Easy to Use Features
Honda has been known for its practicality with the Activa range and the 7G carries the tradition ahead.
Among the major highlights, it comes with a full digital console (in certain trims) that provides information like speed, fuel level, trip meter, real time mileage among others. It’s a nice option for people who like to be kept in the loop!
Additional convenience features include engine start/stop switch, silent start, external fuel lid, and combi-brake system (CBS) for added safety.
Under-seat storage is generous enough for a helmet or a few shopping bags; and the seat is still long and thickly padded for pillion and rider comfort.

Sleek Engine and Performance
The Activa 7G is still powered by Honda’s reliable 109.51cc air-cooled, single-cylinder mill which has been revised for marginally better efficiency and more performance.
This engine produces roughly 7.8PS and 8.9Nm of torque, which is just about adequate for city rides.
The ride is plush and predictable—a good pairing for stop-and-go traffic and tight city streets.
Acceleration is smooth and simple, and there is virtually no vibration. Even though it isn’t meant to be fast, the Activa 7G also settles really well at 40–60 km/h, where the majority of people will use their scooter.
According to Honda, I can experience better fuel efficiency with the improved smart power (eSP) system so it is even more cost effective in the daily commuting scene.
Real-world mileage should be around 55–60km/l depending on conditions.
Ride Quality and Handling
Ride Quality and Brakes Ride comfort is one of the highlights of the Activa 7G.
Both the front (telescopic forks) and rear (spring loaded hydraulic unit) suspension does a good job of soaking up bump and potholes. Ride quality is stable on even ruined pavement.
A more conventional 12-inch front wheel is fitted, this model having your grip, balance, and cornering prowess better mojo but all the convenience of easy straight-line steering though tight traffic spots.
The easy to handle light frame make even parking and riding at low speeds effortless, even for senior citizens and women riders.
Safety and Build Quality
On the safety front, the Activa 7G comes with the Combi Brake System (CBS) with equalizer that distributes the braking force equally between the front and rear wheels making for more sure-footed stops.
The materials feel quality throughout, and the panel gaps are tight — evidence of Honda’s focus on durability and refinement.
It doesn’t have disc brakes or ABS, but it feels safe and predictable in city settings.

Honda Activa 7G: Final Verdict
The Honda Activa 7G isn’t shouting out from the rooftops about being the shiniest or tech-laden scooter in the market.
It does so not by pretending to be something it’s not, but rather by emphasizing what matters most: comfort, reliability, cheap-as-chips running costs, and everyday practicality.
It’s a distillation of the winning formula of the Activa brand with just the right amount of new features to stay in the game. For a person who wants a reliable, no-nonsense scooter which can manage daily commuting effortlessly I will still recommend the Activa 7G in this segment.
