Honda Activa 125 Premium Edition vs Standard: Differences Explained
The newly launched Premium Edition comes with a few upmarket touches while keeping the basics intact. We take a closer look
Honda recently gave the Activa 125 a much-needed shot in the arm by launching the Activa 125 Premium Edition in the country. If you’re wondering how it is different from the standard variants, you’ve come to the right place.
Snazzier Looks:
The Honda Activa 125 Premium Edition is offered in two colour options: Pearl Amazing White with Matte Magnificent Copper Metallic and Matte Steel Black Metallic with Matte Earl Silver Metallic. The white and copper dual-tone variant does look premium and will get your attention, whereas the black and silver-coloured variant is more elegant. They get subtle pinstripes on the apron, front fender, and side panels, along with ‘Premium’ logos on the side panels. The powertrain and front fork are finished in black. Topping the design off is the colour-coded grab handle (copper in the white-coloured variant and light grey in the black one).
On the other hand, the standard variant is offered in four shades: Rebel Red Metallic, Heavy Grey Metallic, Pearl Night Star Black, and Strontium Silver Metallic. All these are monotone shades, and they come with a silver finish on the suspension, powertrain, and grab handle.
Comes In Two Variants:
The Honda Activa 125 Premium Edition is offered in two variants: drum brake and disk-equipped. Take a look at the ex-showroom Delhi prices and their comparison with the standard models:

Overall, the Premium Edition is a welcome addition to the Activa, but the Rs 2000 premium feels a little too much for merely new colour schemes.
