The Activa i gets refreshed floral graphics on them along with the new color as Honda says the target audience is young generation ladies. The Activa i also gets new rear fender cover for the rear tyre and gloss black finish on the exhaust. Purple colored floorboard and entire plastic panel have been chosen by Honda to woo the ladies. The Activa i now clearly targets its sibling rival the Hero Pleasure.
