Honda Activa 110 DLX Variant Explained
From the LED headlamp to the new TFT screen, here is what the mid-spec DLX trim adds over the base model for your daily commute.
The Honda Activa 110 is sold in three variants: Standard, DLX, and Smart. The DLX variant is priced at Rs 86,360 (ex-showroom, Delhi), roughly Rs 10,000 more than the base variant. That premium buys a fair bit of functional upgrades without tipping into keyless territory.
Here's what Honda packs into the DLX:
Design & Styling
This variant doesn't change the Activa's silhouette one bit; you'll need to look closely to tell it apart from the Standard at a glance. This variant swaps the halogen bulb for an LED headlamp, which looks a little more modern. It also rolls on alloy wheels rather than the Standard's pressed-steel units, a change that gives the scooter a slightly sportier stance.
Features
In place of the Standard's basic analogue dial, it gets a 4.2-inch TFT display that packs in a lot more information: a tachometer (not that a family scooter needs it), real-time and average mileage readouts, distance-to-empty, a clock, and an Eco indicator (turns on to show that you’re riding economically) alongside the usual speedometer and fuel gauge. Note that Bluetooth pairing and the Honda RoadSync app, with its navigation and call alerts, are reserved for the H-Smart variant only, so this console stays purely informational.
USB-C charging, which is an optional extra on the Standard, comes fitted as standard here. The rest of the practical bits carry over unchanged.
Safety & Hardware
Braking, engine electronics, and chassis hardware are shared across the whole Activa 110 lineup, so the DLX doesn't add anything new on this front. It still gets the idling stop-start system that shuts the engine off at a standstill to save fuel (switchable if you'd rather keep it running), the silent ACG starter for smoother start-ups, and the combined braking system that's standard regardless of variant.
Engine & Performance
Honda has kept no surprises here either. The Deluxe runs the same 109.51cc engine as every other Activa 110, good for 7.9PS and 9.05Nm, paired with a CVT automatic. It's tuned for easy, unstressed commuting rather than outright pace.
BikeDekho Says
The DLX variant, while fairly well-equipped with extra features, fails to justify the 10,000-odd rupee price jump over the base variant. That’s because the top-end variant is just around Rs 4,700 more, so you might as well stretch your budget a little bit and go for the top-end variant with no compromises. That said, if you’re on a budget, then we’d rather suggest the base variant and simply install a smartphone holder if you really need navigation.
Honda Activa User Reviews
Very good app, easy to use, and helps find the best one for myself. I wish it would improve more in the future and help us in finding and giving the best scooter. Thanks a lot to this app for so many gifts and rewards. Since if we got to buy a new bike or scooter at a dealer, it costs a lot, but it now helps us to find the best one.Read More

When I bought this I think I will regret but because it's competitors like jupiter, Honda dio, ntorq, suzuki access. Have more features, more space but I didn't regret because in one litre of petrol, I get the average of 55km which is quite good according to my driving style because my driving style is little aggressive and with less features, it is more reliable and a very good torque which I feel in every throttle.Read More
