Honda activa and aviator are the two best two wheelers in the market today. But the aviator came after the activa, and hence it has been in the market for a longer period of time and therefore may be preferred by more people. But discussed below are the features and specifications both the activa and the aviator so that there is a clear difference between the features of the two.

Engine

As far as the engine is concerned, both the activa and aviator has the same engine with a power of 109cc and the power emission is equal. Although the fuel tank of both are of different capacities. The fuel tank of Honda activa is of 5.3 Litres whereas the fuel tank of Honda aviator is of 6 litres. Apart from this, the engine and the power transmission of both the vehicles is absolutely the same.

Mileage comparison

Although the engine components are absolutely the same of both the vehicles, the mileage that is offered by them is different. Coming to the average of both, the activa offers an average of 45-55 kilometer per liter whereas the aviator offers an average of 30-46 kilometer per liter. There is a big difference in the mileage that is offered by the two vehicles and definitely the active offers a much better mileage than the latter.

Power comparison

The best that is offered by Honda Activa is probably the power that it has been able to offer. Its performance is therefore far much better than the aviator. The power that is offered by the new Honda Activa is of 10 Bhp@ 7700 RPM. It takes very little time for the Honda activa to reach its maximum speed and its displacement is also better than the Honda aviator.

Exterior

The front design of the Honda activa is definitely much better than the Honda aviator. It looks sleeker and the design is slightly better than the Honda aviator. The back is also slightly better shaped in the activa as compared to that in the aviator. The boot space in the activa is also more in the activa than in the aviator. Coming to the under seat space, Honda aviator has slightly more space than the Honda activa. Activa has an under seat space of 18 litres whereas aviator has a space of 20 litres which makes it more spacious. Apart from this, the wheelbase of the aviator is also more. Activa provides a wheelbase of 1238mm while on the other hand aviator has a wheelbase of 1256mm.

Other features

Because the Honda aviator has a wider wheelbase and at the same time it is wider and so it is perfectly suited for the hilly roads as well. Because the tyres are bigger, you can always expect a good hold of the tyres on the roads. The seating quality is also better which makes it impressive. Therefore, both Activa and aviator have some plus points as well as some negative aspects.

The Honda Dio and the newly launched Honda Activa DLX belong to the same Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer. Both these gearless scooters are crafted almost identically. When one actually sees these two bikes, it is easy to spot many similarities.

Performance

Both the Honda DLX Activa and the Dio are powered by 4-stroke, air-cooled engine. The engine displacement of this engine is 109 cc. The maximum power output generated by the engine is 8 bhp revving at 7000 RPM. While the Honda Dio’s engine churns a maximum torque output of 8.77 NM revving at 5500 RPM, the engine fitted in Honda Activa DLX churns a peak torque of 8.74 NM at 5500 RPM. The engine comes coupled with a V-matic transmission system. The Honda Dio’ s engine has a fuel tank capacity of  6 litres while that of the Activa has a fuel tank capacity of 5.3 litres. The Honda Dio delivers a fuel efficiency of 60 kmpl while the Honda Activa offers a fuel economy of 55 kmpl. The Honda Dio is available in a wide range of colors like Pearl Sunbeam White, Pearl Trance Yellow, Sports Red and Mat Axis Grey Metallic.

Features of Dio and Activa DLX.

In the new Dio, the two-wheeler maker has widened its seats for the person who occupies the rear seat of the scooter. This ensures a comfortable and a smooth ride for the occupant riding pillion. In the storage space department, often seriously considered for moped bikes, the Honda Dio does not disappoint and comes with 18 L storage space under its seat. Indeed, this space is enough to keep all stuff. If one thinks this space is not enough, then he/she can opt to buy the optional box which can be effortlessly fitted at the front end of the bike. But this calls for negotiating with  legroom to some extent. The Honda Activa DLX also gets a 18 L storage space to keep all stuff comfortably. Also, the Honda Activa DLX gets a stylish and sleek looking Inner Box along with flat foot board equipped with a hook. This enhances the storage capacity offered by the scooter. It is great to carry small objects like  groceries, water bottles and a lot more. The Honda Dio is priced in India at Rs. 46, 716 approximately while the on-road price stretches up by another Rs. 53,000.

If one compares the specifications of the Dio and the Activa DLX then it is clearly evident that the Dio and the Activa DLX are simply each other’s’ competitors. This is because the dimensions of both these scooters are almost the same and there are hardly any differences to notice. It becomes difficult to decide which is a better scooter since both share several components and deliver almost similar performance. While the Dio feels quite light to ride, the Activa offers better handling. Indeed, the decision to choose between Honda Dio and the Honda Activa DLX is purely based on the individual. Depending on one’s needs, requirements and budget, one can choose between the Activa DLX and the Honda Dio.

Honda offers a range of great scooters in the Indian two-wheeler market. Moving ahead with the Indian demand of high fuel efficiency along with great contemporary styling, Honda is endeavoring to produce great trendy and fuel efficient scooters for this market.

Honda has recently tweaked the mechanical specifications of its scooters with 109cc power in order to offer superb fuel efficiency and performance. Honda also claims to be offering the outstanding mileage of 60 km per liter for all its 3 popular scooters, namely the Activa, Dio and Aviator. Let us take a look at the new 2013 Honda Activa scooter to see how this two-wheeler achieves this amazing fuel efficiency.

The all new 2013 Honda Activa HET retains the same good looks of the Activa. The singular design addition that this scooter has received is its small logo on its body’s left side panel in order to distinguish it from its previous model. The HET logo is a representative of the Japanese manufacturer’s Eco Technology which is responsible in making this scooter most fuel efficient. Nevertheless, is same advanced technology is endowed on the other two Honda Scooter Dio and Aviator as well making these awesome threesome the most fuel economical automatic scooters in the country.

To achieve this outstanding mileage however, Honda has not incorporated any new component or any totally new technology. All the company did is enhancements of its existing components and technology. Some efficient tweaking has really helped the company to highly increase the efficiency of its scooters’ mechanical specifications and thus improve the fuel efficiency to a great deal. The technical specification enhancements have also greatly improved the combustion. This has been done with the help of a new spark plug and an enhanced inlet port. The inclusion of a new offset crank and improved lighter materials has resulted in the reduction of friction, while a low pressure piston ring along with enhanced bearing seal oil have also helped in the process.

The company has also optimized the ratio and mechanical specifications of the Vmatic drive system. With all these changes and tweaking Honda has really made the immense fuel efficiency possible for its Activa. These changes could not improve the power or the torque figures though and these remain unchanged.

The all new 2013 Honda Activa scooter also offers the same superior ride and handling as that of its preceding model. However, the new model does offer more, as its smoothness has enhanced a lot due to its revised transmission.

The real magic obviously lies in the mileage figure, which has considerably increased. The 2013 Honda Activa offers a city mileage of 55.55 km per liter and a highway mileage of 67.42 km per liter respectively.

The new Honda HET offers an outstanding combined fuel efficiency of 58.51 km per liter. The overall performance of the scooter has improved as well. It is tagged at Rs.47,188 (ex-showroom Delhi), thus making this scooter a great deal which offers the highest fuel efficiency in the two-wheeler segment in the Indian market.
