Japanese automaker Honda's Indian subsidiary Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) on Tuesday launched the latest version of its scooter Activa125 with upgraded engine priced at Rs 78,920 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
According to the company, the new Activa125 now is compatible with the stricter emission norms effective from next month.
| 2023 Activa 125 Variants | Price |
| Drum with steel wheels | Rs 78,920 |
| Drum with alloys | Rs 82,588 |
| Disc | Rs 86,093 |
| H-Smart (New) | Rs 88,093 |
Atsushi Ogata, Managing Director, President and CEO at HMSI, in a statement, said, "With this new model, we have leveraged the latest technology to ensure that our customers can enjoy a smooth and hassle-free ride while meeting the latest norms.”
The Japanese manufacturer’s new scooter Activa125 now comes with the company’s H-Smart features in a new trim. This new variant will be available in drum with steel wheels, drum with alloys, and disc variants.
The new Activa125’s H-Smart variant comes with features like a 5-in-1 lock switch on the apron, Smart Find, Smart Unlock, Smart Start and Smart Key fob among others. The company also said that it had redesigned the 18-litre under-seat storage to optimise space better.
The 2023 Honda Activa 125, in terms of powertrain, gets the same 124cc single-cylinder fuel-injected engine. However, this upgraded unit develops 8.3PS and 10.4Nm. It should also be noted that despite being BS6 Phase-2 compliant, there’s still no flex-fuel compatibility.
Currently, the Indian automobile industry is working to make products meet the second phase of BS-VI norms in real-time driving conditions. Automobiles will need more sophisticated equipment to meet the next level of emission standards.
The second phase of BS-VI emission norms is set to kick in on April 1.
