The scooter is priced at Rs 94,422 for the DLX variant and Rs 97,146 for the H-Smart version (ex-showroom). Moreover, it is now compatible with OBD2B emission standards. This launch follows the highly anticipated debut of the Activa e, Honda's first electric scooter. The Activa e has a convenient swappable battery system and a sleek, streamlined design compared to its petrol-powered sibling. It will go on sale on January 1, 2025, with an estimated price tag of Rs 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom). While the electric Activa's launch is still some time away, let's explore the new features of the Activa 125.
