Top 5 Petrol Scooter Launches Of The Year 2022 – Suzuki, TVS & More
The Indian two-wheeler market is becoming more and more obsessed with gearless scooters and witnessing tremendous growth across the country.
That being said, two-wheeler manufacturers are now exploring new segments and there has been some exciting scooter launches this year. As such, here are the top 5 petrol scooter launches of the year 2022.
TVS Ntorq 125 XT
Even though there are multiple variants of the Ntorq 125 scooter in India, it doesn't stop the Hosur-based automaker from launching a new variant of this sporty gearless scooter. With the launch of the Ntorq 125 XT, TVS Motor almost created a new segment of conventional scooters with technology loaded to the brim.
In fact, the TVS Ntorq 125 XT comes with an all-new LCD instrument cluster with features like voice assistance, Bluetooth connectivity, social media notifications, weather notification alert, silent start, start/stop technology and more. However, all these technologies makes the Ntorq 125 XT around Rs 23,000 more expensive than the base variant at Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Suzuki Burgman Street EX
Suzuki recently launched the Burgman Street EX in India with a price tag of around Rs 1.12 lakh (ex-showroom, India). This makes the newly launched variant of the Suzuki Burgman Street around Rs 19,000 more expensive than the standard variant of the scooter.
For such a huge price difference, Suzuki has made some justifiable differences to the scooter such as a bigger 12-inch rear tyre for better high-speed stability and a few cosmetic updates as well. Moreover, all these changes make the scooter a lot more desirable as well.
Keeway Sixties 300i
The Keeway Sixties 300i is a retro-themed scooter and the overall execution of the design by Keeway is truly remarkable. In fact, the old-school charm and the design details of the Keeway Sixties 300i scooter can pull eyeballs wherever it goes and commands at least a second glance.
Under the skin, it is very similar to the Keeway Vieste 300 with its 278cc, single-cylinder, petrol engine. However, despite the large capacity, the powertrain is tuned to produce 18.4bhp of peak power and 22Nm of peak torque. The Keeway Sixties 300i is priced at Rs 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Keeway Vieste 300
The Hungarian two-wheeler manufacturer entered the Indian two-wheeler market with the launch of the Keeway Vieste 300 scooter. In fact, the Keeway created a new segment with the launch of the Vieste 300 with its large 278cc powertrain and maxi-scooter styling. However, the Keeway Vieste is on the pricier side with a price tag of Rs 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Hero Pleasure+ 110 XTEC
The Hero Pleasure nameplate has been with the Hero MotoCorp for quite some time now and the scooter has been consistently bringing decent sales figures for the two-wheeler manufacturer. Now, Hero MotoCorp has brought some interesting updates with the Pleasure + 110 XTEC.
These updates on the Hero Pleasure+ 110 XTEC scooter includes an LED projector headlight which promises a 25 per cent brighter beam, a pillion seat backrest, a metal front fender, a digital instrument console, and a few more to justify the slightly premium price tag of the updated entry-level scooter.
