Honda has launched their first BS-VI scooter for the Indian market, the Activa 125. This new model has been priced at INR 67,490 ex-showroom for the standard model, INR 70,990 for the alloy wheel model and INR 74,490 for the Deluxe model. The 2019 Honda Activa 125 is the most advanced scooter from the Japanese manufacturer. The brand says that this is a ‘Quiet Revolution’ for the two-wheeler market in India.
Primary highlights of this BS-VI compliant engine on the Honda Activa 125 include fuel-injection, a noiseless ACG starter motor, eSP technology, idle start/stop system and engine immobiliser triggered by the side stand.
