      Hero Vida VX2 Price Slashed By Rs 15k – Now Starts Rs 44,990

      by

      Hero Vida VX2 Price SlashedIndia’s largest 2W manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, is upping its game in the electric scooter segment by being among the first OEMs to introduce BaaS pricing in this segment. With BaaS plans, Vida VX2 started from Rs 59,490 (Ex-sh), which was already quite impressive. Now, Hero has straight up slashed Rs 15k off of the price tag. Let’s take a closer look.
      Hero Vida VX2 Price Slashed
      With the launch of Vida VX2, Hero MotoCorp is showing the country that it means business. This is the first time a 2W OEM in India has introduced BaaS prices (Battery as a Service), in its truest sense, which helps in cutting down on initial buying costs for customers, unlike its rival brand that only offers battery subscription through its swapping stations.
      Starting price of Vida VX2 was pegged at Rs 59,490 (Ex-sh) + Rs 0.96 per km, which was already an impressive proposition. Now, the BaaS prices have been revised with an introductory offer announced by the company, taking the starting price of Vida VX2 to Rs 44,490 + battery rental charges.
      This is a straight up Rs 15,000 reduction that the introductory offer is bringing, taking the proposition from impressive to tempting. This tempting price tag is for the base Go variant, while the top-spec Plus variant has been priced at Rs 57,990 + battery rental charges. Without BaaS plans, Vida VX2 Go costs Rs 99,490 (Ex-sh) and Plus costs Rs 1.10 lakh (Ex-sh).
      Vida VX2 Launch Price
      However, Hero MotoCorp has not mentioned any time duration of this introductory offer. So, prices may revert back to previously announced ones at the company’s discretion. There is a possibility that Hero MotoCorp is looking at a certain booking volume, probably in six figures, which once achieved, will end this introductory offer.
      Specs & Range
      Powering the just launched Vida VX2 is a removable battery system that can be charged in three ways. There’s DC fast charging support, AC charging directly from the scooter and AC charging by taking the batteries out. This versatility is quite commendable as no mainstream OEM is currently offering this much flexibility.
      Speaking of batteries, Vida VX2 Go comes with a 2.2 kWh single removable battery pack, promising 92 km claimed range. In comparison, Vida VX2 Plus offers two removable batteries with a total capacity of 3.4 kWh, promising up to 142 km on a single charge. More

      Hero Vida VX2 Electric Scooter Launch On July 1 with Battery-as-a-Service Model

      by

      New Hero Vida VX2 EV TeaserHero MotoCorp is set to launch its latest electric scooter, the VIDA VX2, on July 1, 2025. The new model will introduce a pioneering Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model under the VIDA brand, aiming to make electric two-wheelers more accessible by reducing upfront ownership costs.
      Flexible Subscription Plans and Lower Entry Cost
      VIDA’s BaaS model will allow customers to pay for the battery on a subscription basis, separating the cost of the scooter chassis and battery. This ‘pay-as-you-go’ format is expected to bring down the initial purchase price and offer flexible monthly plans tailored to individual usage. Hero MotoCorp aims to encourage wider EV adoption through this more affordable and flexible ownership model.
      Hero Vida VX2 Teaser
      Charging and Service Infrastructure
      VIDA customers will benefit from a growing nationwide ecosystem, including over 3,600 fast-charging stations and more than 500 service points across 100+ cities. This expansive network is intended to offer convenience and ease of ownership to new EV buyers.
      About VIDA VX2 – A Rebadged and More Affordable Version of Vida Z
      The upcoming VIDA VX2 has been spied undisguised ahead of its launch. It is effectively a rebadged version of the Vida Z, which was showcased at the 2025 Auto Expo. The VX2 will sit below the Vida V2 lineup and is expected to be available in multiple variants – likely Lite, Plus, and Pro – similar to the existing Vida V2.

      Visually, the VX2 features matte yellow paint, LED projector headlamps, LED tail lights, LED sequential turn indicators, and 12-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. The VX2 also gets a front disc brake but comes with a physical key slot instead of a smart key system, which is standard on the V2.
      Feature Reductions Compared to Vida V2
      While it maintains some premium elements, the VX2 makes a few feature compromises to keep costs down. It has a smaller, likely TFT instrument screen instead of a touchscreen unit and uses simpler body panels. The VX2 also comes with a single-piece seat, as opposed to the split seat seen on the Vida V2.
      Despite fewer features, the VX2 is expected to offer the same removable battery architecture as the Vida V2, with capacity options between 2.2 kWh and 3.9 kWh. The claimed range could go up to 165 km depending on the variant.
      Target Pricing and Market Positioning
      The VIDA VX2 is expected to start around Rs 65,000 (effective ex-showroom), making it one of the most affordable electric scooters in Hero MotoCorp’s portfolio. With its launch, the company aims to tap into the budget-conscious urban commuter segment and further push the adoption of electric mobility in India. Hero MotoCorp will reveal full details about the VIDA VX2 and its BaaS subscription plans on July 1, 2025. More

      New Hero Vida VX2 EV Teaser Feat Ranbir and Anil Kapoor

      by

      New Hero Vida VX2 EV TeaserHero MotoCorp has been on the verge of launching a new electric scooter in India under their Vida brand. It will be called Vida VX2 and it is the production version of Vida Z showcased at 2025 Auto Expo. Owing to its lower-tier equipment, it will be positioned below Vida V2 lineup in the company’s electric scooter portfolio.
      This is the teaser from Hero that shows Vida VX2’s front design, which looks more or less the same as Vida Z. Also, this teaser features Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Anil Kapoor, recreating some of the dialogues and emotions from the movie Animal. Let’s take a closer look.
      Hero Vida VX2 Teaser
      Hero Vida VX2 EV Teaser
      Vida electric scooter brand by Hero MotoCorp is on the verge of a strategic expansion. The direction of expansion is rather interesting as it seems to be headed the route of affordable electric scooter market where Ola S1X is partying currently. Crashing this party will be Vida VX2, whose design is teased for the first time.
      Latest teaser features Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Anil Kapoor in similar roles we saw in the movie Animal by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. While this movie is nothing to write home about, the iconic ‘Sunayi de raha hai. Behra nahi hu me” dialogue has become quite a sensation in B Town, which is recreated in this teaser with Anil Kapoor as father and Ranbir Kapoor as his son.
      Hero Vida Z
      This teaser revolves around the concept of generational gap along with associated interests and shifting buyer trends. We can see Ranbir Kapoor suggesting to buy an EV showing upcoming Vida VX2 on his smartphone in a Blue shade, but Anil Kapoor’s interests nest with ICE scooters.
      In this teaser, we can see a glimpse of upcoming Vida VX2’s front design in a Blue shade, which is completely uncamouflaged. This is the same design that we saw on Vida Z at 2025 Auto Expo and units of Vida VX2 that have arrived at dealerships also show similar design, but in a lovely Yellow shade.
      Hero Vida VX2 Teaser
      What to expect?
      Just like Vida V2 lineup, we can expect Vida VX2 to be launched in Lite, Plus and Pro trim levels with varying battery capacity, while features remain the same. Speaking of features, Vida VX2 is a step-down from Vida V2 lineup as they get a conventional key hole and a non-touch instrument cluster with physical controls on switchgear to operate it.
      In contrast, Vida V2 gets keyless go as standard along with a 7-inch touchscreen. Hero will launch Vida VX2 next month on July 1st. It will be priced below Vida V2 lineup which currently starts from Rs 74,000 (Effective Ex-sh, Delhi). Considering a deficit in features, one can expect around Rs 65,000 starting price (Effective Ex-sh, Delhi).

      Why Hero Xoom 125 Deserves Premia Showroom – Buying Experience

      by

      Hero Xoom 125 Buying ExperienceWith my brother’s 2015 Honda Activa 3G getting longer in the tooth, the search for a new scooter began. Because Xoom 125 is a large scooter and weighed over 120 kg, we finalised a Hero Xoom 110. At the time of buying, there were a few factors that led us to upgrade to Xoom 125, which is a far better product and it probably is the most VFM premium scooter on sale in India. Let’s dive into details and see what’s what.
      Hero Xoom 125 – VFM Quotient
      My brother’s first choice was once again a Honda Activa. Because we already have a Honda Activa 3G and a TVS Jupiter 125 in the family, I suggested he look at Yamaha Fascino, RayZR, Hero Destini 125, Xoom 110 and Xoom 125. However, in Tier 2 cities, buying decisions often depend on availability of stock at the respective dealership.
      Hero Xoom 125 Purchase Experience
      For some reason, Yamaha dealership had only stocked up top-spec disc brake variants, which were high up the price ladder. Hero dealership in my city only had one Xoom 110 ZX Matte Abrax Orange (Rs 1.13 lakh), one Xoom 125 VX Metallic Turbo Blue (Rs 1.15 lakh) and a Xoom 110 Combat Edition (Rs 1.15 lakh) at a nearby location (all prices OTR, Karnataka state).
      Hero Xoom 110 ZX Matte Abrax Orange
      Where pricing is concerned, Hero MotoCorp’s Xoom 110 and Xoom 125 are absolute winners as the base Activa 110 STD variant (Rs 1.13 lakh) and base TVS Jupiter 110 Drum variant (Rs 1.14 lakh) emerged quite pricey (all prices OTR, Karnataka state). Especially considering both these variants came with steel wheels, drum brakes, halogen lighting and bygone era analogue instrument clusters and without any bells and whistles that Hero is offering at the same price point.
      Hero Xoom 125 Purchase Experience
      At the price point of Rs 1.13 lakh (OTR, Karnataka), Hero is offering LED projector headlights, LED tail lights, (although gimmicky) LED cornering lights, LED boot light, USB charging port, fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, dual-tone alloy wheels, disc brakes with Bybre callipers and more. If you opt for VX variant of Xoom 110, it is VFM Pro Max as it costs Rs 1.05 lakh (OTR Karnataka) only, but was sadly unavailable in my city.
      Mismatched colours on Xoom 110 ZX Matte Abrax Orange
      125 Over 110
      During purchase, we noticed that the Abrax Orange colour on rear grab rail was significantly different when compared to side body panels. It ticked me and my brother off enough to discard it. Hence, the decision shifted to Xoom 110 Combat Edition (Rs 1.15 lakh OTR Karnataka) which they were arranging from a nearby location. In the meantime, I asked my brother to ignore the 120 kg kerb weight and try out Xoom 125 and compare it with Xoom 110 in real world.
      Hero Xoom 125 Purchase Experience
      He did just that and he concluded Xoom 125 doesn’t feel cumbersome in real life and is quite manageable. Also, Xoom 110 lacked external fuel filler cap and integrated boot release like Xoom 125. For us, the base VX variant was enough and we didn’t need the top-spec ZX variant.
      I had experienced Xoom 125 at the national media drive in Delhi and returned quite impressed. The 125cc engine on this scooter first debuted in Destini 125 which I experienced last year at the national media drive in Goa. These 14-inch wheels unlock a new level of ride, handling and rough-road ability that 12-inch and 10-inch scooters can never match in a million years.
      Hero Xoom 125 Purchase Experience
      It is quite commendable that Hero MotoCorp is offering Xoom 125 base VX variant at around the same price point of 110cc scooter base variants from rival brands and still offer features like 14-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, LED tail light, LED turn indicators, LED boot light, fully-digital instrument cluster, external fuel filler cap, integrated boot release, stepped seat and more.
      Purchasing & Showroom Experience
      As a product, Hero Xoom 125 is quite good and the pricing and equipment is plain brilliant. But what is holding it back in achieving a revolution in sales is the showroom experience. In April 2025, Honda sold 1,94,787 Activas and 20,555 Dios, TVS sold 1,02,588 Jupiters and 25,383 Ntorqs and in the same month, Hero just sold 3,643 Xoom scooters. This is a premium, sporty and aspirational scooter that deserves to be sold via Premia showrooms to make any meaningful difference.
      Hero Xoom 125 Purchase Experience
      1. The dealership was only maintaining one unit of Xoom 110 and Xoom 125 just for the sake of variety. It would take over a month to get desired colour and variant.
      2. Sales reps were not knowledgeable about these scooters and they didn’t know specs and features. One rep kept on calling Xoom 110 as ‘Xoom’ and Xoom 125 as ‘Xoom XTEC’.
      3. I had to request 5 times to bring down Xoom 125 from the platform and place it beside Xoom 110 and they only did it after I got a bit irritated. Treating customers to not have knowledge about the two wheeler is not the right strategy to push sales.
      4. Showroom did not have any accessories of this Xoom 125, except for ORVMs. Service people tried to install side footstep accessory, but failed after wasting 1.5 hours of my time.
      5. Service is my biggest fear as the service centre was overrun by an ocean of Splendors and HF models. As per one service faculty, they were not trained to operate on scooters at all, which was concerning.
      6. When asked for a ‘Glove Box Mobile Charger’ accessory which is listed on Hero website, the store manager said he was busy to search for its part number. He asked me to search and give him part number and then he’ll place an order.
      7. Even though Activa is the best-selling scooter in India by a long shot, Honda was offering Rs 4,000 monetary discount. TVS was offering a Rs 2,000 discount on Jupiter. Discounts and incentives to push Xoom scooter sales by Hero were zero.
      8. Me and my brother were not expecting nor offered any theatrics or confetti or a giant key for photo opportunities. But I can see how many prospective buyers would want this experience as this is a premium, sporty and aspirational 125cc scooter.
      Hero Xoom 125 Purchase Experience
      Most of these shortcomings would go away if Hero sold Xoom 125 via their Premia premium showrooms. A sporty, premium and aspirational scooter like Xoom 125 deserves more sales and selling them through Premia dealerships would offer prospective customers an experience they deserve. Also, this could be a high-volume offering for Premia dealers as well. As things stand, Hero Xoom 125 is sold through their legacy dealerships that are extremely comfortable in selling just the Splendors and HF. More
