The Honda Activa is the largest selling two-wheeler in India. It is a favourite of the masses. Here is a quick recap of all three Honda Activa models which are presently on sale in the country.The Activa has now officially become the highest selling two-wheeler in India by having beaten the Hero Splendor for the last 6 months. This is the first time in 17 years that this has happened.Honda Activa 3G profile

Honda claims to have given a cosmetic makeover for the Activa 3G. Yet, in a glance, the new scooter looks exactly similar to its predecessor. Look closely and you will realise that the front fascia has been tweaked mildly with a restyled and larger faux vents. Also the handlebar mounted headlamp and turn indicators have been given minor updates. It seems to be a deliberate strategy of the Honda designers to maintain the typical “Activa face” on the new scooter as the basic design DNA has been left untouched. The most striking visual difference between both the generations of Activa can be made from the rear.

The new Honda Activa 3G gets a bolder tail lamp that does gel nicely with the rear unit and it now sports a 3D emblem. However, the overall design of the Activa 3G is a bit bland for our likening. We feel the Japanese manufacturer wants to keep the styling plain and simple to please the mature customers. The analogue instrument console has been carried forward from its predecessor and is easy to read on the go. Switch gear quality is average while the overall build quality of the scooter is good. Under seat storage is average as we could manage to only fit a half face helmet.
