Honda Activa 6G India Launch Details Revealed: Honda 2-Wheelers India has listed an upcoming event on its official website and the teaser banner says: "What's 2020 without a 6? Wishing you a game-changing new year. The game begins on 15th January 2020".

Here is what Honda has revealed about the upcoming event on its official website: "Witness Akshay Kumar and Cricket Legends play the Game of Sixes in Mumbai.

Coming to the Honda Activa 6G, the scooter is said to be equipped with fuel injection technology to bring 10% improvement in the overall mileage. Activa has successfully kept the scooter segment racing ahead of other commuters with its class-leading reliability and cost-effective riding nature. The 110cc engine with HET will get the fuel system upgrade to pass the upcoming strict BS6 emission norms. Honda Activa registers almost 3-million sales figure for the brand in one fiscal. The price point of the scooter, along with optional accessories, help them get the most out of the commuter-friendly segment. The launch of Activa 6G with fuel injection will raise the initial cost of ownership and it is yet to be seen how well the model performs after getting an ex-showroom price tag of around INR 60,000 for the 110cc model. The Honda Activa 6G is expected to get smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth, and it will feature turn-by-turn navigation support. The 6G model is also expected to get call alert feature inspired by the TVS NTorq 125. Coming to the other changes, the next-gen Honda Activa will feature an external fuel filler, which would be a first for a Honda Scooter in India.
