Honda, which is one of the big two-wheeler companies, has told that it does not have plans to bring Activa 7G soon. However, the company says that it will update the Activa 6G with new features.

Atsushi Ogata, Managing Director and CEO, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, revealed that the Activa 6G will be updated with a digital instrument cluster and connectivity features. This will help the company to maintain its position in the market. Earlier this year, Honda launched the new Activa 6G. The company’s H-Smart technology has been given in this.

With this key, the user can lock and unlock the scooter without using the physical key. This key can start the engine of the scooter when it is within a radius of two meters. It also has an engine start and stop switch.
The company recently launched the Shine 100 motorcycle in the country. It is the most affordable motorcycle from Honda. Its price is Rs 64,900.
