New Look and Design
The Honda Activa Premium Edition features striking cosmetic changes, making it distinct and more premium than the standard Activa. This new variant is ₹1,000 more expensive than the DLX variant and ₹3,000 more expensive than the STD variant. The biggest highlight of this edition is the golden accents. The wheels are now gold, the emblem features a golden logo, and the chrome garnish on the front has also been given a golden touch. The Activa badging on the sides also receives a golden treatment.
In addition to the exterior changes, the scooter’s inner body, footboard, and seat have been painted brown. These changes together give it a more upmarket and luxurious look than the standard Activa. Honda is offering this Premium Edition in three new, exclusive colors: Matte Marshal Green Metallic, Matte Sangria Red Metallic, and Pearl Siren Blue. Regardless of the color choice, customers will find golden accents in each scheme.
Engine, Power, and Advanced Features
The Activa Premium Edition retains the same hardware, engine specifications, and features, meaning it retains the proven reliability of the Activa 6G. It is powered by the same 109.51cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This engine produces a maximum power of 7.68 bhp at 8,000 rpm and a peak torque of 8.84 Nm at 5,500 rpm.
This engine comes mated to a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The scooter is equipped with ESP technology, which helps it start silently. The engine is fuel-injected and fan-cooled. Features include an external fuel filler cap, an analog instrument cluster, under-seat storage, and an LED headlamp.
Hardware, Braking, and Safety
Hardware remains unchanged; the Activa Premium Edition comes with tubeless tires and steel rims. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks at the front and 3-step adjustable spring-loaded hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear.
Braking is handled by 130 mm drum brakes at both the front and rear. The scooter uses tubeless tires, providing immense peace of mind in the event of a puncture. The scooter weighs 106 kg, has a 5.3-liter fuel tank, and has a seat height of 692 mm, making it easily accessible for all riders.
