This could be in preparation for the launch of Honda's first electric scooter.

Honda has decided to rebrand its most popular scooter, the Activa 6G. The latest generation of the scooter loses the '6G' suffix and will simply be called Activa.

Honda has updated its official website, which now lists the Activa 6G as Activa. The suffix has also disappeared from all the official pictures of the scooter.

Honda adopted the branding specifying the generation from 2015 onwards. The Activa 3G was the first to get a suffix. Since then, the bike maker has launched three generations of the popular scooter – 4G, 5G and 6G.

The fact that Honda has rebranded the Activa suggests that the company could be looking to reposition the model as it prepares to launch its first electric scooter in the Indian market.

The report states that the Activa 6G is set to get a digital instrument console.

According to a media report, Honda is working on a new variant of the Activa 6G with extra tech.

The report states that the Activa 6G is set to get an updated instrument console. The old analogue unit will be replaced with a digital cluster. It will offer features like Bluetooth connectivity, call / SMS alerts and phone battery status.

Honda’s most popular scooter has received incremental updates over the years. Earlier this year, the company introduced the Activa 6G H-Smart, equipped with the Honda Smart Key for keyless operation. However, it still lacks some features that are offered by rivals, i.e. Turn-by-Turn Navigation and front disc brake.

The new variant of the Activa 6G is expected to be powered by the same 109.51cc, single-cylinder engine that makes 7.7 BHP @ 8,000 rpm and 8.90 Nm @ 5,500 rpm. The engine is equipped with a 'silent start system' and 'side stand with engine inhibitor'.

Just like in a car equipped with keyless entry, the rider is only required to carry the key in his / her pocket. The Smart Key can also be used to locate the scooter in a parking lot and comes with an anti-theft function.

The Activa 6G Smart Key is powered by the same 109.51cc, single-cylinder engine as the standard version. It is equipped with a 'silent start system' and 'side stand with engine inhibitor'.

The Honda X-Blade, Hornet 2.0, H’ness CB350, Activa 5G, Activa 6G, Activa 125 BSVI, CB Shine and CB 300R are affected by this recall.

Honda has announced a voluntary recall for a number of its models, to replace their faulty reflex reflectors.

The models that have been affected by this recall include the X-Blade, Hornet 2.0, H’ness CB350, Activa 5G, Activa 6G, Activa 125 BSVI, CB Shine and CB 300R manufactured between November 2019 and January 2021.

According to the company, the reflex reflector fitted in the recalled vehicles is at slight variance from the required photometric provisions. This results in insufficient light reflection efficiency. Although the impact of no vehicle visibility is insignificant, Honda will be replacing the reflex reflector as a precautionary measure and free of cost irrespective of the warranty status.

Dealers will notify customers via call, e-mail and SMS to get their vehicles inspected. Customers can also check if their vehicle is part of the recall by entering their unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the Honda 2 Wheelers and Honda BigWing websites.

Customers who have replaced the reflex reflector (part no. 33741KPL902) between December 2019 and April 2021 can approach their nearest dealership to get the part replaced free of cost.
