Design / Looks

First of all, let’s see how these scooters differentiate in terms of design.

Activa 6G: It is the most sold scooter among these three as well as in the entire scooter segment in India. The scooter has pretty basic design language, however, also has some of the modern tweaks. It gets the indicators attached on the handlebar with the headlamp. It has some of the chrome treatment to make it premium. Overall the look of the scooter is neat and clean and can be adjusted with anybody.

Activa 6G and Activa i has a similar displacement 110 cc engine. However, Activa 6G is a BS6 compliant so it is offered with fuel injection and has a mild drop of power compared with Activa I. For reference, Activa I produces around 8 bhp max power and 8.94 Nm of peak torque while Activa 6G produces around 7.6 bhp and 8.79 Nm of peak torque. We expect Activa I will be also undergoing BS6 upgrade pretty soon. It is expected with same Activa 6G 110cc motor.
