      The 2025 Honda Activa 125 has been updated with a 4.2-inch TFT screen, a new headlight design, and an engine that is OBD2B compliant. There are two variants on offer: the first is called Disc, and the second is called H-Smart. For the added convenience of the H-Smart key, Honda is asking Rs 99,146. However, I believe the Disc variant offers the most value for money.
