      by

      New Hero Vida V2 RangeIndia’s largest 2W manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, has been upping its game in the premium segment. The company is keen on making it big in the electric scooter segment too. In that regard, Vida V2 lineup prices have been dropped drastically, making them a lot more affordable than they used to be. Let’s take a closer look.
      Hero Vida V2 Prices Reduced
      India’s electric scooter market has been heating up in recent times. Market leader Ola Electric has been on a downward spiral and rivals are upping their game to gain precious market share. Hero MotoCorp is at it too and has reduced prices of its Vida V2 range by up to Rs 15,000, depending on the variant.
      Vida electric scooter is offered in three variants – V2 Lite, V2 Plus and V2 Pro. 2025 Hero Vida V2 lineup now starts from Rs 74,000 for the base V2 Lite, which is Rs 11,000 less when compared to previous prices. That is because Hero has slashed prices of Vida V2 Lite by Rs 11,000, effective immediately.
      Going up the variant range, Vida V2 Plus price has been slashed by up to Rs 15,000. This is the maximum price reduction Hero is offering to Vida V2 lineup. On the other hand, top-spec Hero Vida V2 Pro does not get any price reduction. Instead, it gets a price hike of Rs 4,700, which is now priced at 1,20,300 (ex-sh).
      New Hero Vida V2
      No updates
      V2 Lite comes equipped with a 2.2 kWh battery promising a range of 94 km (IDC). Where features are concerned, Hero offers quite a bit of features even with base V2 Lite. Notable features are 26L under-seat storage, 7-inch TFT touchscreen with Bluetooth and navigation, cruise control, keyless ignition and more.
      On top of V2 Lite, we have V2 Plus that offers a larger 3.4 kWh battery pack promising a range of up to 143 km on a single charge. The top-spec V2 Pro variant packs a larger still 3.9 kWh battery pack that promises 165 km of range on a single charge and has more powerful motor promising 0-40 km/h sprint in 2.9 seconds.
      Where rivals are concerned, Hero Vida V2 lineup locks horns with Ola’s S1 range, Ather’s 450 range, TVS’ iQube range and Bajaj’s Chetak range. Hero MotoCorp is also on the verge of launching Vida Z in India soon. Test mules of Vida Z have been spied without camouflage and it will be a global offering too. More

      2025 Hero Passion+ Now OBD-2B Compliant – New Colours, Updates

      by

      2025 Hero Passion+ LaunchedTill stocks last, the outgoing model will be available for sale alongside the new OBD-2B-compliant Hero Passion+
      Indian automotive space is witnessing a transformative era, with a strong focus on reducing emissions and improving safety. On the emissions front, vehicles have to comply with the stricter OBD-2B emission norms. To meet the compliance deadline of 1st April 2025, many two-wheeler models have already been updated.
      Latest addition to the list of OBD-2B-compliant two-wheelers is Hero Passion+, coming from world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp. Let’s check out the updates introduced with the new model.
      2025 Hero Passion+ Update – What’s new?
      In addition to the OBD-2B compliance, colour options have been updated for 2025 Hero Passion+. While the earlier model is available with four colour options, the OBD-2B Passion+ gets only two colour options (Black Nexus Blue and Black Heavy Grey). It is possible that these colour variants are in demand. The MY24 model has two additional colours – Black Grey Stripe and Sport Red.
      All four colour options have a dual-tone livery, applied across the headlamp cowl, fuel tank and side panels. This is one of the distinctive features seen among Hero’s entry-level commuter bikes. Earlier, Hero also used to offer Passion Pro and Passion Pro XTEC models. However, these two have been discontinued.
      2025 Hero Passion+ Launched
      As of now, the OBD-2B Passion+ does not get any exclusive colour options. However, it is possible that new colour options could be introduced for the bike at a later date. Since it is the only bike in the Passion range, it can do better by providing more choices to customers. One can consider the example of Hero Splendor+ that offers a total of 7 colour choices. Similarly, HF Deluxe is available with 5 colour options.
      Price increase
      2025 Passion+ OBD-2B model is available at a starting price of Rs 81,651. That’s Rs 1,750 more than the 2024 Passion Plus (Rs 79,901). In comparison, the top selling Hero Splendor+ is available at a starting price of Rs 77,176. The i3S variant is priced at Rs 78,426. To access more features and striking colour options, users can choose the Splendor+ XTEC variant. It is offered at a starting price of Rs 84,301.
      In the 100cc segment, Hero also sells the HF Deluxe and HF 100. These are priced at Rs 59,998 and Rs 59,018, respectively. Talking about Passion+, the bike has a more stylized and sporty appearance in comparison to the likes of Splendor+ and HF Deluxe. Passion+ has flowing and curvy body panels, as compared to the minimalistic design seen with Splendor Plus. Body graphics appear more engaging on the Passion Plus, which may appeal to younger riders.
      Powertrain and hardware specifications remain the same for OBD-2B Passion+. In terms of sales, Hero Passion+ is currently the 4th bestselling Hero two-wheeler. In February 2025, sales were at 15,598 units. The bike contributed 4.37% to Hero’s overall sales in the month. Hero Passion+ competes with the likes of Honda Shine 100 and Bajaj Platina 100. More

      2025 Hero Splendor+ Launch – XTEC DiscThe best-selling motorcycle lineup in India, or probably the world, just got updated to MY25 version. We’re talking about Hero MotoCorp’s golden geese, the Splendor Plus. Entire lineup of Splendor Plus has been updated to MY25. These include Splendor+, Splendor+ XTEC and Splendor+ XTEC 2.0. Let’s take a closer look.
      2025 Hero Splendor Plus Launch
      Hero MotoCorp has just updated its Splendor+ lineup in India to MY25 version. This is an iterative update and carries minor revisions over its preceding model. Prices start from Rs 79,096 (Ex-sh) for Splendor+ Drum variant, Splendor+ i3S costs Rs 80,066 (Ex-sh) and the price is the same for Splendor+ i3S Black and Accent colourways.

      However, we can see new graphics on body panels to distinguish these MY25 offerings over MY24 versions. Depending on the variant of Splendor+, Hero is offering unique colourways and graphics. Some variants get a rear luggage rack for utilities and some get more sophisticated rear pillion grab rails.
      2025 Hero Splendor+ Launch
      New OBD-2B Compliant Engine
      The main change can be seen with Splendor+’s engine department. Hero MotoCorp is now offering updated powertrains that are compatible with more stringent and stricter BS6 P2 OBD-2B emission standards mandated by Indian Government on all vehicles sold after April 1st, 2025.
      This powertrain is a simple air-cooled single-cylinder SOHC 2V/cylinder engine that displaces 97.2cc. This engine is capable of delivering 7.91 bhp of peak power and 8.05 Nm of peak power, mated to a 4-speed gearbox, which is common in this displacement class and price bracket in commuter segment.

      2025 Hero Karizma Updated With USD Forks, TFT Screen, Launch Price Rs 2L

      by

      2025 Hero Karizma UpdatedWorld’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, has just updated its Karizma XMR 210 fully-faired Supersport motorcycle. The changes can be seen in the top-spec ‘Top’ variant and Hero has also launched a new colourway called Combat Edition for a slight price premium over ‘Top’ variant.
      This new top-spec variant packs beter features and more premium components that prospective buyers were yearning for quite some time. The Base trim offered before, continue as it was. Let’s take a closer look at the updated Karizma.
      2025 Hero Karizma XMR 210 Combat Edition
      2025 Hero Karizma Updated
      First showcased at EICMA 2024 and then at Auto Expo 2025, a top variant of Hero Karizma was slated to launch soon. Hero even teased Combat Edition which got these updates in January 2025. The company has now launched it in April 2025. Price for updated 2025 Hero Karizma XMR 210 starts from Rs 1,81,400 (Ex-sh).
      The updates we keep on mentioning are only reflected in Karizma’s top-spec ‘Top’ variant which commands a price tag of Rs 1,99,750 (Ex-sh). Combat Edition is only a colourway featuring an attractive Grey shade and is priced at Rs 2,01,500 (Ex-sh), which is just a marginal increase over ‘Top’ variant.
      2025 Hero Karizma Updated – Top Variant Colours
      Speaking of the updates, Hero is offering USD front forks finished in a lovely Gold shade. This was a much sought after component with Karizma XMR 210 and a head scratcher at that. We say this because Hero offered USD front forks even with Xtreme 160R which is not a Supersport and doesn’t have nearly as much performance as Karizma packs.
      The other update we welcome with 2025 Hero Karizma XMR 210 is with its instrumentation. There was nothing wrong with it as it packed Bluetooth and Navigation features. However, the new TFT cluster Karizma is offering, is the same one that we recently sampled with Xpulse 210 and it is a lot better than the cluster it is replacing.
      2025 Hero Karizma Updated TFT Instrument Cluster
      Where powertrain is concerned, it still packs the same 210cc liquid-cooled DOHC 4V/cyl single-cylinder motor that is capable of generating 25 bhp of peak power and 20.4 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. There’s dual-channel ABS, ABS modes as part of this package too.
      Better sales prospect than before?
      With these new updates, Hero Karizma XMR 210 seems to have much better sales prospects than it did before. Even though the USD forks will not bring significantly better dynamics, it aligns with customer perception of what a Supersport machine should pack by default. This update is likely to attract more buyers. More

      2025 Hero Splendor Plus Spied Ahead Of Launch – What’s New?

      by

      2025 Hero Splendor SpiedWhile major updates are unlikely, it is possible that Hero could introduce some new colour options with the OBD-2B-compliant Splendor+
      With more than 4 crore units sold, Hero Splendor Plus is the world’s No 1 motorcycle. Hero MotoCorp has introduced updates at regular intervals including new colours and special editions. A new test vehicle was recently spotted, fueling speculation about potential upgrades. Let’s explore what Hero could be planning for its top selling two-wheeler.
      2025 Hero Splendor+ – OBD-2B compliance
      In line with the stricter emission norms, Hero Splendor+ will be updated to comply with the OBD-2B standards. This is part of the Bharat Stage 6 (BS6) Phase 2 emission norms. Under OBD-2B, vehicles are required to continuously monitor emissions via advanced onboard diagnostics. If any emission related issue is detected, a malfunction indicator lamp lights up on the dashboard.
      Various parts and systems are monitored such as oxygen sensors, catalytic converter, fuel system, misfire detection, etc. Other OEMs such as Honda and TVS have already updated several of their two-wheelers to comply with OBD-2B emission norms.
      Talking about Splendor+, the upgrade to OBD-2B standards is unlikely to result in any change in the bike’s performance. Equipped with a 97.2 cc, air cooled, single cylinder engine, Hero Splendor+ generates 8.02 PS and 8.05 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
      2025 Hero Splendor Spied
      2025 Hero Splendor+ – New features?
      Based on the test vehicle spotted near Jaipur, most of the features appear to be the same as the current model. There could be a possibility of new colours, but the spy shots do not provide a clear view. The graphics on the side panels do seem a little different in comparison to that of the current model. It appears that Hero could be aiming for a more refined aesthetics for the 2025 Splendor+.
      Hardware specs will remain the same for 2025 Hero Splendor Plus. The bike utilizes a tubular double cradle frame, with telescopic front forks and 5-step adjustable dual rear shock absorbers. Both ends have 18-inch wheels, wrapped in 80/100 tubeless tyres.
      Braking setup comprises 130 mm drum brakes at front and rear with integrated braking system. Splendor+ is preferred for its compact and agile characteristics. The bike weighs 112 kg and has a ground clearance of 165 mm.
      2025 Hero Splendor Spied
      Splendor+ variants, colours, pricing
      Base variant of Hero Splendor+ is available at a starting price of Rs 77,176. Colour options include Black Grey Stripe, Force Silver, Sports Red Black, Black Red Purple and Blue Black. Splendor+ i3S (Idle stop-start system) variant is available at a starting price of Rs 78,426. Colour options are the same as the base variant. At the same price of Rs 78,426, users can choose the all-black variant. This colour option ensures a sportier profile and enhances the bike’s road presence.
      Another captivating colour option for Splendor+ is Matt Axis Grey (Splendor+ 01 Edition). This variant is probably the best-looking version of Splendor+ currently available. The matte grey colour ensures a more premium look. This variant also gets distinctive graphics on the headlamp cowl, fuel tank and side panels. Splendor+ 01 Edition is available at a starting price of Rs 79,926.

      Hero Karizma 210 Sales 0 Last 3 Months – Discontinued Ahead of Karizma 250 Launch?

      by

      Hero Karizma XMR 210Hero MotoCorp launched the Karizma XMR 210 in India on 29 August 2023 for an introductory price of Rs 1.73 lakh (Ex-sh). Fast forwarding to the fag end of March 2025, Karizma XMR 210 is facing dwindling sales. Is this model discontinued ahead of Karizma XMR 250 launch or is it facing an identity crisis? Let’s take a closer look while analysing Karizma’s sales performance over the past year.
      Hero Karizma 210 Sales Analysis
      Analysing Karizma XMR 210’s sales performance over the past year, we can see that the motorcycle averaged 739 units per month by selling 4,806 units. For context, Yamaha sold 1,06,605 units of R15 in the same period averaging 8,883 units. Despite the fact that R15 packs a smaller engine with less power and torque, while costing considerably more than Karizma XMR 210.
      Hero Karizma 210 Sales
      If we dive into Karizma XMR 210’s sales, we can see that sales (in the past 12 months) peaked in March 2024 with 1,874 units with a steady decline in sales MoM, July 2024 being the only exception where there a small MoM gain. Sales tanked in October 2024 at 7 units, reduced to 4 units in November 2024 and then 0 sales in December 2024, January 2025 and February 2025.
      Hero Karizma 210 Sales
      Is it discontinued?
      We say this because Karizma XMR 250 was showcased in November 2024 and Karizma XMR 210 witnessed 0 sales since then in three consecutive months – December 2024, January 2025 and February 2025. One quick check at Hero MotoCorp’s website reveals that Karizma XMR 210 is still listed under the Premia section.
      Hero Karizma Combat Edition Teased
      The company had teased Karizma XMR 210 Combat Edition in January 2025 which packed better equipment and more features than standard model. However, it never launched. Further fueling the question whether Hero has dropped the ball and will only concentrate on Karizma XMR 250, moving forward.
      Karizma XMR 250
      If this motorcycle is not discontinued, Hero MotoCorp might soon consider launching an update to Karizma XMR 210 to make it more appealing to prospective buyers. Some of these updated may be USD telescopic front forks and the new TFT cluster that we recently experienced with Xpulse 210 at the media drive event organised by Hero MotoCorp. Also, the company needs to rapidly expand its Premia dealerships to offer a premium experience for prospective Karizma buyers.
      Hero Karizma XMR 250
      Legacy of Karizma
      On August 29 2023, Indian motorcycle market witnessed the revival of the iconic Karizma brand. Karizma has played a major role in positioning Hero MotoCorp as a manufacturer of supersport machines which could blaze the racetrack on fire and do long distance touring in one package.
      New Karizma XMR 250
      At the EICMA Show 2024, Hero MotoCorp revealed Karizma XMR 250, which will take Karizma brand to new heights uplocking major performance gains with around 30 bhp and 25 Nm. While the Karizma XMR 250 is not launched yet, it seems to have impacted the sales of Karizma XMR 210 in a negative way. That, or Hero MotoCorp might have discontinued Karizma XMR 210 to make way for the 250.

      Hero MotoCorp has recently expanded its product lineup with the launch of three new offerings – Xoom 125, Xtreme 250R, and Xpulse 210. These new models are strategically positioned to target different segments – the Xoom 125 caters to the sporty scooter segment, Xtreme 250R strengthens Hero’s presence in the premium performance motorcycle space, and the all-new Xpulse 210 enhances its off-road adventure portfolio. With these launches, Hero aims to appeal to a broader customer base and boost overall sales volumes in the coming months. More
