For the fifth generation, Honda has also added a DLX variant. This variant comes with a digi-analogue instrument cluster that gets ECO and service-due indicator lights. Both variants of the Activa 5G have an all-LED headlamp and chrome styling inserts. They also feature a new front hook to carry small bags and a tougher metal muffler protector. Lastly, the new Activa 5G variants will be available in two new colours – Dazzle Yellow Metallic and Pearl Spartan Red. LIke its more premium sibling, the Grazia, the Activa 5G also features a seat-opening switch, which is positioned next to the ignition. 

Mechanically, the Activa 5G remains unchanged and will use the same 109cc, single-cylinder engine that makes 8hp at 7,500rpm and 9Nm of torque at 5,500rpm. The engine, of course, conforms to BS-IV emission norms.
