Speaking on the launch of the new Smart Activa, Atsushi Ogata, President & CEO of the company said, “The Activa re-invigorated the scooter market and has remained the best-selling two-wheeler for more than a decade. The Activa has been launched in several avatars during this period and has always lived up to the expectations of our customers.

Today, we are going to unveil the new OBD2 compliant Activa 2023, which is loaded with several first-in-segment features, to provide an even better experience to our customers. Mathur said, ‘Being at the forefront of technology, MHSI has always been committed to providing a satisfying consumer experience by making everyday life easy and convenient. Even before this, HMSI is known for bringing technological innovations in its products such as Enhanced Smart Power (ESP) technology, Double Lid External Fuel Opening System and Combi Brake System (CBS). We have once again brought another feature in the Activa 2023 which has been introduced for the first time in the two wheeler segment – ​​Honda Smart Key.”

He said that Honda Smart Key has been introduced in the new advanced and smart Activa 2023. The answer back system present in the Honda Smart Key system helps in locating the vehicle easily. When the answer back button is pressed on the Honda Smart Key, all 4 werks blink twice to locate the scooter. The smart key system is a new technology feature that allows the scooter to be locked and unlocked without the need for a physical key. If there is no activity for 20 seconds after activation, the scooter automatically deactivates.

If the smart key is within a range of 2 meters from the vehicle, the rider can easily start the vehicle by rotating the knob in the lock mode to the ignition position and pushing the keyless start button. The Activa 2023 comes with Mapped Smart ECU, which acts as a security device by electronic matching between the ECU and the Smart Key, thus keeping the vehicle safe from theft. The smart key has an immobilizer system that prevents engine start with a non-registered key. The immobilizer system is not activated if a secure connection is not established with the smart key. The two-way functioning switch is pressed downwards to start the engine, the same switch acts as an engine kill switch when pressed upward. The Activa 2023 is OBD2 compliant and comes with Honda’s trusted 110cc PGM-FI and Enhanced Smart Power (ESP). Activa 2023 will be available in three variants (Standard, Deluxe and Smart) with ex-showroom Delhi prices of Standard, Deluxe and Smart starting at Rs 74,536, Rs 77,036 and Rs 80,537 respectively.
