The Honda Activa revived and revolutionised the dying scooter segment
when it was first launched in 2000 and has been the top-selling scooter
in India, ever since. The Honda Activa 3G, or the third generation, is
the latest iteration of the popular unisex automatic scooter. And though
the Activa 3G isn’t radically different from the previous model, it
does get minor cosmetic updates and new paint schemes.
Design
wise, the Activa 3G isn’t very different from the current Activa’s
design, and it continues with the conservative styling of its
predecessors. The Activa 3G gets a new set of 3D badges and new colour
schemes, which lend it a premium look. The tail lamp assembly has also
been redesigned along the lines of the bigger Activa 125 scooter, though
the instrument cluster and a majority of other components have been
carried over from the previous model.
The Activa 3G is powered by
the tried and tested 110cc Honda Eco Technology (HET) engine which
delivers 8bhp and 8.7Nm of torque through a CVT transmission. The Activa
3G gets hydraulic spring loaded suspension and 130mm drum brakes on
both the ends.
The Honda Activa 3G is available in black, blue,
white, grey and red paint schemes, and rivals the other 110cc scooters
like the TVS Jupiter, Hero Maestro, Mahindra Gusto and the TVS Wego.
