Honda Activa 4G Review
When you think scooters, one name that comes to mind is Honda Activa. The brand Activa has been more popular than Honda itself, in India and the scooter has been the best sller for a long time now. Honda Activa has been receiving upgrades periodically and this has helped the brand grow stronger over the years. It has grabbed the mind share of customers and is top of the mind while making a purchase. The Honda Activa is in its fourth generation now and there are some changes it brings along with. This is the Honda Activa 4G, which stands for 4th generation. While the upgrades are not major like the Activa 3G, it does get some cometic upgrades that make it look more premium. The Honda Activa 4G is a sophisticated looking scooter and looks better than its earlier models.
The Honda Activa 4G get changes that are not major in nature though. The first major change is that the Activa 4G now gets a BS-IV engine. The scooter now complies with the new emission norms. It also gets AHO (Auto Headlamp On) and some minor tweaks in styling.
The basic design and features of the Honda Activa 4G the same as earlier. There is a USB charging facility though, which is available as a accessory at a higher price. We wish this could have been offered as a standard feature. The Honda Activa 4G is priced at ₹ 57,000 (on-road, Delhi) and to install any accessory, one has to spend extra money. Lets see in detail what all the Honda Activa 4G brings in.

There is no change in the top speed of Honda Activa 4G, which is 82 km/hr. The scooter rides the best at 60-70km/hr. Though it can manage speeds beyond that, it is not recommended, as the Activa feels nervous at higher speeds, over 70km/hr.
