Touted to be named Activa 7G, the new version of India’s highest-selling scooter will be available in three variants – Standard, Deluxe, and Smart, as revealed in a leaked official document of ICAT.

What are the expected features to be available in the new Smart variant?

Currently, the Honda Activa 6G is being offered in two variants – Standard and Deluxe, both of which have been retained in the new version of the scooter set to be launched on January 23rd.
