Honda Activa Range Gets Price Hike in India; Check Updated Prices Here

The prices of the popular Activa and the Activa 125 models were recently increased by Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI), but no additional modifications were made. For a long time, Indian families' preferred choice has been Activa, which still rules the market today. Price increases for the Activa and the Activa 125 amount to Rs 811 and Rs 1,177 respectively. Following the hike, Activa's starting price has now been updated to Rs 75,347, while the most expensive variation is priced at Rs 81,348. Both prices are ex-showroom. Similar to this, the Activa 125's base price has gone up to Rs 78,920, and the high-end model now costs Rs 86,093 (excluding the showroom charges). It's important to note that the top-of-the-line Activa 125 H-Smart is still available for the same Rs 88,093 (ex-showroom) price and has not been subjected to the latest hike. Meanwhile, Honda has dropped the '6G' tag from its Activa 110 model, changing the name to just Honda Activa. With the release of the Activa 3G in 2015, the firm took the "G" tags. The Activa 125 model's name, however, has not been altered. If you are looking to purchase the 2023 Honda Activa 125, here's everything you need to know about the model.
