Latest On Honda Activa 125

Last Updated On 12th Aug'25: Similar to its younger sibling, the Activa 125 also gets an Anniversary Edition upgrade. With this new edition, the Activa 125 gets a similar sort of styling as the regular Activa. However, the only difference lies in the black shade of the inner panels, where the Activa 110 gets brown shade. Moreover, it stills gets the same reliable 123.92cc, single-cylinder, PGM-FI, OBD2B-compliant engine that churns out 8.3 bhp and 10.5 Nm of torque. Meanwhile, this new edition only comes with the DLX variant, priced at Rs 97,270 (ex-showroom).

Honda has recently launched the 2025 version of the Activa 125 with the latest features and a more efficient engine. It now comes with a 4.2-inch TFT display which supports Bluetooth connectivity. Additionally, the new screen comes with Honda RoadSync app support, which allows users to get navigation, and call/SMS support on the instrument console. It comes with a joystick controller on the left side to toggle the instrument cluster. Along with this, it now offers a Type C charging port for more convenience on the go. When it comes to the design, the headlamps have been tweaked a bit, the rest all remains the same. Moreover, the engine is now OBD-2B compliant and priced at Rs 94,422 (ex-showroom).

Variant Recommendation

author

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.

Expert Verdict on Activa 125

8 /10
Rank #20
Comfort8
Performance9
Design8

The Honda Activa 125 is one of the best-selling scooters in its segment. Honda’s reliable engine performance, good fuel efficiency, & safe handling are delightful for city riding. Also, the disc brake version has good braking power. But, the H-Smart variant is overpriced while the drum brake versions offer less braking power. We say it is the best value-for-money family scooter in its segment.

Pros & Cons of Honda Activa 125

  • What we admire in this scooter

    • Good build quality with no panel gaps
    • Packed with features like H-Smart technology
    • Disc brake variant offers good stopping power
    • Engine is very smooth as well as powerful
  • What could have been better

    • Suspension is not as comfortable as the rivals
    • Standard variant has less braking power due to drum brakes
    • Underseat storage space feels inadequate

Should I buy the Activa 125?

The Honda Activa 125 is based on the smaller Activa scooter. Carrying forward its name, it offers a bigger engine, more power, & a new design. Also, the top variant of the Activa 125 comes equipped with smart keyless features that none of the rivals offer. Its engine is reliable and performance-packed as well. We recommend you buy it if you want a scooter that offers you more performance than the regular Activa. Also, the connected features help you in day-to-day rides.

Ergonomics, Comfort, & Ride 8
  • The Activa 125 offers very good riding posture for city commutes. The combo of seat height & the handlebar position makes it an easy scooter to sit & ride. Also, the flat footboard offers a decent amount of leg space to the rider. We also love the position of the rearview mirrors which show a good view of the background. Overall, the ergonomics of Activa 125 are sorted & easy.
  • The seat cushioning on it is also well done. The scooter feels comfortable even after riding for long durations. Thanks to the wide seat, the rider & pillion can easily sit and potter inside the city all day long. For the pillion, the footrests are rightly positioned, meaning that pillion of any age & size can find a comfortable sitting position easily.
  • The ride quality of the Acitva 125 is on the softer side. The suspension is tuned for city use and it feels confident on broken roads. But if you want to ride it enthusiastically, the suspension feels less engaging. Also, the 12-inch front tyre helps in increasing comfort on the bad roads.

    The Suzuki Access 125 is another major rival of the Activa 125. Access is well-known for its powerful performance and good ride & handling. Also, it now has the option of connected features in its top variant. The build quality of the Access 125 is similar to the Activa 125. However, the braking of the Access 125 is not as good as the Activa 125 because of the smaller front disc size. Also, the reported fuel economy from users of the Access 125 is less than the Activa 125. Out of the two, we recommend you opt for the Activa 125 if you need a fuel-efficient scooter. But, if you want better performance and a fun-to-ride scooter; buy the Access 125.

    The Activa 125 competes with the TVS Jupiter 125. Both scooters have good brand value as well as good resale. In terms of quality, the TVS Jupiter 125 feels solidly built. Also, the power figures are identical for both scooters. However, it has been reported that the reliability of the Activa 125 could be better than the Jupiter 125. But, the aggressive throttle response of the Jupiter with its comfortable ride feels above the Activa 125. We recommend the Activa 125 as it has a decent amount of power, features, & fuel economy. Out of the two, Honda is more reliable in the long term.

      The two-wheeler is really good, offering approximately 40 km/l mileage. The pickup is also very good. I purchased it from Saphire Honda, Bangalore. Thank you.

      The Honda Activa 125 is a very good option in this budget. It offers excellent mileage, but the build quality is average, and the performance is also just moderate.

      Everything is good, except that it feels a little cautious while turning. Mileage is good, and it’s reliable for daily use. Servicing is slightly costlier compared to TVS or Hero, but the build quality is superb.
