Honda Activa Name Simplified, 6G Suffix Removed
Initially released in 2001, the Honda Activa's 102cc engine helped propel the first generation vehicle into the Indian market. The Activa offered today is powered by the same 109cc engine that was installed in the scooter when the '2G' variant went on sale in 2009.

The Honda Activa 6G is one of the best-selling scooters on the market, and its very name has become a byword for the vehicle's kind in the nation. Honda refreshed the Activa 6G early this year with a number of improvements, but the major revision to the scooter did not come until today. In order to simplify the scooter's branding, Honda has discontinued using the 6G suffix in conjunction with the Activa name. The revision has been implemented on Honda's website. The 'G' suffix was first introduced in 2015 with the launch of the Activa 3G. All subsequent generations of the 110 cc scooter, including the current 6G model, shared this design cue. The Japanese two-wheeler powerhouse looks to be streamlining the Activa brand. The Activa 110 and Activa 125 are now on sale, while the Activa Electric scooter is expected to be introduced before the end of the current fiscal year.
