The Honda Activa has been a household name in India for over two decades, often serving as the primary choice for families, college students, and daily commuters alike. As we move further into 2026, the anticipation for the next generation—the Honda Activa 7G—has reached a fever pitch. This seventh-generation model is expected to carry forward the legacy of its predecessors while introducing modern technology to keep up with the evolving Indian two-wheeler market.
What to Expect from the Honda Activa 7G
The upcoming Activa 7G is not just a cosmetic update; it represents Honda’s push towards a more digital and connected riding experience. While the core silhouette will likely remain familiar to maintain its “family scooter” appeal, several premium touches are expected to debut. These include a sharper LED headlamp design, redesigned body panels with chrome accents, and potentially a more robust metal-fiber mix for better durability.
One of the most significant upgrades rumored for the Activa 7G is the shift toward a fully digital instrument cluster. Unlike the semi-analog setup on the 6G, the higher variants of the 7G are expected to feature a TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity. This will allow riders to access turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, and SMS notifications directly on the dashboard, making urban navigation much simpler.
Engine, Performance, and Mileage
Under the hood, or rather the seat, the Activa 7G is expected to house the reliable 109.51cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This motor is already compliant with the latest BS6 Phase 2 (OBD2) emission norms. While the power figures are likely to stay around $7.7\text{ bhp}$ and $8.9\text{ Nm}$ of torque, Honda is expected to refine the engine further for even better fuel efficiency.
Key Specifications (Expected)
- Engine: 110cc BS6 Phase 2
- Mileage: 55 to 60 kmpl (ARAI)
- Top Speed: Approximately 85 kmph
- Technology: Silent start with ACG and Idle Start-Stop system
The focus remains on “eSP” (enhanced Smart Power) technology, which reduces friction and ensures a quiet engine start. For many Indian buyers, mileage is the deciding factor, and the Activa 7G is rumored to deliver a real-world mileage of around 50–55 kmpl in city traffic conditions.
New Features and Safety
Beyond the digital screen, the Activa 7G is expected to introduce a Smart Key system, similar to what we have seen in recent top-end variants of the 6G and Activa 125. This allows for keyless ignition, remote seat opening, and a “find my scooter” feature.
Safety continues to be a priority with the inclusion of the Combi-Brake System (CBS) as standard. While many enthusiasts hope for a front disc brake option, early reports suggest Honda might stick with drum brakes for the base variants to keep the price competitive, potentially offering a disc brake only on the top-tier “Deluxe” or “H-Smart” trims.
Expected Price and Launch Timeline in India
As of early 2026, Honda has not officially announced the exact launch date, but industry insiders and dealership leads suggest a rollout between January and October 2026. Some reports point toward a mid-year launch to capture the festive season demand.
In terms of pricing, the Activa 7G will likely see a slight bump over the current model due to the new tech features. The expected ex-showroom price in India is likely to range between ₹79,000 and ₹92,000, depending on the variant. This keeps it in direct competition with the TVS Jupiter, Suzuki Access 125, and Hero Destini.

Why the Activa 7G Matters
The Activa 7G arrives at a time when electric scooters are gaining ground in India. For Honda, this model is a way to prove that internal combustion engine (ICE) scooters still have a massive role to play, offering unmatched reliability and a vast service network that EVs are still building. It bridges the gap between old-school dependability and modern-day “smart” requirements.
