Quick heads-up before we dive in: despite a flurry of videos and posts claiming “Honda Activa 7G launched with 90 KMPL mileage at ₹65,000,” there has been no official launch from Honda as of today (August 11, 2025).
Major Indian auto portals continue to list the Activa 7G as an upcoming model with only tentative pricing and features. Most of them peg the expected price closer to ₹79,000–₹90,000 ex-showroom, and the possible launch window in late-2025 or even 2026, not “now,” and certainly not at ₹65,000.
So what’s going on? Let’s separate fact from speculation—clearly and practically—so you know what to expect and what to ignore.
What’s officially known vs. what’s a rumor
Officially known
- No Honda press release or confirmed spec sheet has been published for an “Activa 7G” yet. Leading outlets continue to track it as unrevealed/upcoming.
- Activa remains Honda’s volume anchor in India. Honda’s overall scooter/motorcycle momentum is strong in 2025 (including recent sales leadership and capacity expansion), but that’s a broader business context—not a 7G launch confirmation.
Credible expectations (but not confirmed)
- Price band widely estimated around ₹79,000–₹90,000 (ex-showroom), depending on variant/features, well above the ₹65,000 claim circulating on social feeds and some videos.
- Timing: Several trackers place the expected window around Oct 2025 (some even push to Jan 2026). Again: “expected,” not official.
- Feature direction: Outlets speculate about incremental upgrades—potential for a front disc option, revised instrument cluster, and feature tweaks over the current Activa. None of this is confirmed by Honda yet.
Claims to be skeptical about
- “90 KMPL” mileage: Scooters in this class typically deliver real-world figures well below such round, viral numbers. Until official ARAI figures or Honda’s claim are out, treat “90 KMPL” as an internet exaggeration. (No reputable spec page has published an official 90 KMPL rating for an Activa 7G.)
- “Launched at ₹65,000”: None of the reliable trackers list this price; the prevailing estimates are ₹79k–₹90k.
What to realistically expect when Honda does launch 7G
Based on how Honda has evolved the Activa line (5G → 6G) and how the segment is moving, a sensible expectation set looks like this (think of it as a checklist you can verify once the real spec sheet drops):
- Engine & efficiency: Continuation of a 110cc BS6 platform with small refinements for efficiency and emissions smoothness. Expect incremental gains rather than a miracle jump to “90 KMPL.” (ARAI figures—when announced—often exceed real-world mileage, so wait for both lab and user numbers.)
- Brakes & safety: A front disc option feels plausible given persistent rumors and segment norms; CBS will remain. We’ll only know variants (Standard/Deluxe/“Smart”) after the reveal.
- Features: Likely tweaks to digital/analog instrumentation, potential smartphone-adjacent conveniences, and updated switchgear—again, evolutionary, not radical.
- Price reality: With input costs, safety/feature creep, and market positioning, sub-₹70k ex-showroom for a fresh Activa generation is unlikely in 2025–26. The consensus range remains ₹79k–₹90k until Honda says otherwise.
Practical buying advice (today)
- If you need a scooter now: Consider the Activa 6G or rivals like TVS Jupiter and Suzuki Access 125, all with known on-road prices, dealer discounts, and established service economics. Don’t pause a time-sensitive purchase for a rumor. (Most trackers still treat 7G as future/expected.)
- If you can wait: Keep an eye on official Honda channels and major auto publications. Some teasers this year created speculation, but they didn’t culminate in a 7G launch announcement. Treat “leaks” and YouTube thumbnails cautiously until there’s a Honda press note or dealer bulletin.
FAQs
Q1. Has Honda launched the Activa 7G in India?
No. As of August 11, 2025, there’s no official launch. The 7G is still listed as upcoming by major auto portals.
Q2. Is the claimed “90 KMPL” mileage true?
There is no official 90 KMPL figure from Honda or ARAI for an Activa 7G. Treat this as a rumor until Honda publishes certified numbers. Real-world mileage for 110cc scooters typically sits far below such viral claims.
Q3. Will the Activa 7G start at ₹65,000?
Highly unlikely based on every credible tracker. Current estimates cluster around ₹79,000–₹90,000 (ex-showroom). Expect on-road prices to be higher depending on your city.
Q4. When might the Activa 7G launch?
Several outlets expect a reveal in October 2025, while others push to early 2026. These are not official dates. Watch for Honda’s announcements.
Q5. What price should I budget for if I’m waiting for 7G?
Plan around the ₹80k–₹90k ex-showroom band (subject to change at launch). Add insurance, RTO, and accessories for the on-road figure.
Q6. Will the 7G be a big upgrade over the 6G?
Expect incremental improvements (features, convenience, maybe braking options), not a radical rethink. Honda typically evolves the Activa formula conservatively. Final verdict depends on the reveal and test rides.
Q7. How do I avoid misinformation about launch “news”?
Rely on Honda’s official channels and established auto publications (ZigWheels, BikeDekho, BikeWale, etc.). Viral videos frequently recycle concept art, past teasers, or speculative specs. Cross-check before making buying decisions.
Q8. Should I wait or buy the Activa 6G (or a rival) now?
If your need is immediate, buy now after test-riding a couple of options. If you can comfortably wait a few months and are specifically attached to the Activa badge, waiting for official 7G details is reasonable—just don’t anchor on 90 KMPL at ₹65k, because neither looks realistic.
Q9. I saw a teaser—wasn’t that the 7G?
Honda teasers this year sparked speculation, but nothing concrete identified as “Activa 7G” has been unveiled yet. Teasers often point to different models or feature updates.
Q10. Where can I track the real launch the moment it happens?
Bookmark a couple of trusted trackers (e.g., ZigWheels/BikeDekho) and Honda’s India site/social handles. They’ll update with specs, ARAI mileage, color options, and city-wise pricing the day it’s official.
Summary
The headline “Activa 7G Launched: 90 KMPL at ₹65,000” is not accurate today. If you’re shopping, base decisions on confirmed models and official specs. If you’re waiting for the 7G, set expectations around a late-2025/early-2026 window and a price bracket near ₹80k–₹90k ex-showroom—then verify when Honda announces it. Until then, treat ultra-low price tags and super-high mileage claims as exactly what they are: internet rumors.
