	2025 Honda Activa	TVS Jupiter 125
Engine	124 cc	124.8 cc
Power	8.31 bhp @ 6,250 rpm	8.04 bhp @ 6,500 rpm
Torque	10.5 Nm @ 5,000 rpm	10.5 Nm @ 4,500 rpm

With the latest OBD2B emission norms, Honda has had to alter its 124 cc mill which now produces 0.1 bhp and 0.1 Nm more than before. This in turn does help the Japanese scooter’s case to be slightly more powerful than the TVS Jupiter 125 – but not enough that can lead to a dramatically different riding experience. Either way, both will continue to be the ideal choice for anyone looking to buy something for their city runabouts.

The TVS Jupiter 125 has always been at the forefront in the run-up to being the most practical scooter in the country. From having the most spacious boot space, to boasting the longest seat in the segment – the TVS Jupiter has been designed from the ground keeping in mind the big Indian family. So, its not surprising that the Jupiter 125 is the bigger scooter here, while the Honda Activa 125 continues to be a much more compact offering.

Features

On the features front too, the TVS Jupiter 125 is loaded to the brim with tons of connectivity features, which go beyond the regular turn-by-turn navigation, and call/SMS alert. The top-spec TVS Jupiter 125 SmartXonnect trim will get you voice assist, live cricket score, weather updates, and much more.

Honda has stepped up its game in this regard by equipping a new 4.3-inch TFT cluster and a USB C-type charging port. The former does support Bluetooth connectivity and can be connected to your mobile via Honda’s RoadSync app – which in turn gets you just turn-by-turn navigation, music control, and call/SMS alert. Additionally, the Honda Activa 125 continues to be the sole option in this segment to offer a smart key fob.

Conclusion

Due to all of these new additions, Honda had to bump the asking price of the Activa 125 quite significantly by around ₹7,000. Wherein the base DLX model now costs ₹94,422, the top-spec H-Smart will set you back by ₹97,146 (both ex-showroom prices, Delhi). The TVS Jupiter 125, in comparison, starts from ₹79,540 and tops out at ₹90,721 (both ex-showroom prices). This not only makes the latter a bargain for the kind of features and practicality it comes packed with but also a much better value-for-money proposition.
