The 2018 Honda Activa 125 now commands a premium of around INR 2,000 over the previous model. New features include an LED headlight, four-in-one ignition with seat opener switch, a new semi-digital instrument console, and a separate switch to open the seat. The instrument cluster now comes with an Eco Speed indicator and service due indicator. The Grazia was the first Honda scooter to receive these features.
