The Honda Activa came out in the early 2000s and since then it has been a hit. However, it came in a very plain and dull looking colour scheme. Then came the Dio scooter.

The 2018 Honda Dio receives features such as Always-on headlamp, a charging socket, fully digital speedometer, four-in-one ignition key and a separate switch for opening the seat, an indicator for service due and new front and rear hooks. The price of the scooter starts from Rs Rs 50,296 to Rs 53,292 (ex-showroom Delhi). Check out the price, mileage, colours and specs of the scooter in this article. Read ahead to know more.
