      TVS New Electric Scooter and Improved iQube EV Slated For FY26

      by

      New TVS Electric ScooterTVS Motor, one of India’s leading 2W and 3W manufacturers, has just spilled the beans on what we can expect from the brand with respect to electric vehicles. Speaking to a media publication, TVS Motor Managing Director, Sudarshan Venu, has just confirmed the pipeline for FY26 and even the traffic in this pipeline. Let’s take a closer look.
      TVS New Electric Scooter
      If we look at company’s official website, we can see that the company has commenced retail of TVS X, which was unveiled a long time ago. While it is still not live for sale, a prospective buyer can reserve it. This is one of three electric vehicles TVS Motor has lined up in the pipeline for India for FY26.
      Other two electric vehicles include an improved iQube and a new TVS electric scooter, as confirmed by Sudarshan Venu. These are huge developments from TVS as the company is currently India’s reigning electric scooter champion in terms of sales and volume. These upcoming vehicles are likely to consolidate TVS’ position as EV-maker in India.
      Details about TVS new electric scooter are completely in wraps right now, but one can speculate that it might be a more affordable offering to take on Ola S1X and upcoming budget offerings like Vida VX2 and more affordable Chetak.
      2025 TVS iQube ST Concept
      Improved iQube
      TVS has a reputation of hiding their test mules quite effectively. Improved iQube might adhere to current design language, with a few subtle upgrades to spruce things up. It has to be noted that iQube range of electric scooters were launched in 2020, which is around half a decade ago. An updated design might work in company’s favour.
      It might feature more features, a higher range from its 2.2 kWh, 3.5 kWh and 5.3 kWh battery packs with more efficient and streamlined software. Currently, the promised range starts from 94 km with 2.2 kWh battery and goes till 212 km with 5.3 kWh battery pack. We hope improved iQube packs a mid-mounted motor and get rear disc brake with at least a single-channel ABS setup.
      Currently, TVS iQube range is offered in three trim levels – iQube, iQube S and iQube ST. Pricing starts from Rs 94,434 and goes till Rs 1.59 lakh (both prices effective Ex-sh, Delhi). We can expect improved iQube to be priced around the same ballpark and TVS new electric scooter to be positioned below iQube. More

      2025 TVS Jupiter 125 DT SXC Launch Price Rs 89k – What’s New?

      by

      2025 TVS Jupiter 125 DT SXC Variant
      Remember the recent teasers of 2025 Jupiter 125 that sparked speculations of a new generation model? TVS Motor has just launched that product, but it is not what the automotive fraternity thought it would be. What it is, is a new DT SXC variant with dual-tone colourway and a new and larger instrument screen. Let’s take a closer look.
      2025 TVS Jupiter 125 DT SXC
      TVS Motor has just launched the 2025 Jupiter 125 DT SXC variant in India. This is a new variant that packs two new colourways for this scooter along with some functional updates including a new and larger colour instrument cluster. These are likely to boost the appeal of Jupiter 125 further against rivals like Honda Activa 125, Yamaha Fascino and Suzuki Access.
      TVS Jupiter 125 DT SXC Variant
      Where pricing is concerned, the new DT SXC variant costs Rs 88,942 (Ex-sh). There are two new colourways with DT SXC variant. These are Ivory Brown and Ivory Grey. In Jupiter 125’s variant hierarchy, DT SXC is positioned below the SmartXonnect variant that costs Rs 92,001 (Ex-sh).
      This is interesting because SmartXonnect variant misses out on the new dual-tone colourway and it gets a split instrument cluster with two distinct elements that looks slightly like an afterthought. But the higher price is because one of these screens on SmartXonnect variant is a TFT unit which is considered superior.
      TVS Jupiter 125 DT SXC Variant
      What’s new?
      In contrast, DT SXC gets a larger single-piece colour instrument cluster that is an LCD unit. It also supports SmartXonnect connectivity suite including call alerts, SMS alerts, turn-by-turn navigation voice commands, vehicle tracking with smartphone app and other features. Other than these updates, there isn’t anything new with DT SXC variant.
      Mechanically, 2025 TVS Jupiter 125 continues to be powered by the same 124.8cc single-cylinder engine that is capable of generating up to 8.7 bhp of peak power and 11.1 Nm of peak torque with iGo assist. It continues to get the same conveniences like a large under-seat storage and front fuel filler cap, among others.
      TVS Jupiter 125 DT SXC Variant
      There is still no confirmation from the brand or any test mule sightings of a new generation model of Jupiter 125. If there is one, it would borrow design elements from Jupiter 110 scooter launched last year with the sleek LED DRL signature and LED tail lights and LED indicators.

      New TVS Jupiter 125 Teased Ahead Of Launch – Details

      by

      New TVS Jupiter 125 TeasedTVS Motor has been ramping up its strength in the scooter segment. We saw this with the Jupiter 110 launched last year with a striking new design language. Now, TVS is drafting an update to Jupiter 110 and the first teaser has been released. Not a lot is revealed from this teaser. Let’s take a closer look.
      New TVS Jupiter 125 Teased
      India’s 125cc scooter segment is going to heat up soon, with the launch of the new TVS Jupiter 125. Jupiter has been one of the strongest names in India’s scooter segment and it is the country’s second best-selling scooter brand after Activa by Honda. An update to Jupiter 125 will strengthen TVS’ position in the lucrative 125cc scooter segment.
      New TVS Jupiter 125 Teased
      For the first time, TVS has teased Jupiter 125 on their social media handles. The caption read – Style. Power. Performance. Coming soon! This teaser only shows a single-piece seat along with its single piece rear pillion grab rail. Launch colour for TVS Jupiter 125 is likely to be a Copper shade, which can be seen in this teaser too.
      Design wise, new TVS Jupiter 125 might borrow styling elements from its smaller sibling, Jupiter 110. We can expect those sleek horizontal LED DRLs and sleek LED turn indicators and LED tail lights to make their way on Jupiter 125. The 12-inch wheels, 220mm front petal disc brake, front fuel filler cap, large underseat storage from current Jupiter 125 will be carried over or improved upon.

      What to expect?
      More details may be revealed in future teasers. TVS Motor will stick with their ‘Zyada Ka Fayda’ philosophy with Jupiter 125 and offer a lot of features, comfort and storage space. When compared to Jupiter 110 launched last year, we can expect more features and retain its TFT cluster that supports Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation.
      It is likely to carry forward the same 125cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine to make its way on the new model. Without iGO Assist, this engine delivers 8 bhp and 10.5 Nm and with iGo Assist, it cranks out 8.44 bhp and 11.1 Nm, mated to a CVT.

      Launch could happen around the festive season and it will take on rival 125cc family scooters like Honda Activa 125, 2025 Suzuki Access, Hero Destini 125 and Yamaha Fascino. New TVS Jupiter 125 is likely to pack a higher sticker price than the current model, which costs between Rs 80,640 and Rs 91,821 (Ex-sh, Delhi). More

      2025 TVS iQube S and ST Launched – Bigger Battery, More Range

      by

      2025 TVS iQube S and STTVS Motor has been updating its iQube electric scooter lineup periodically to keep them relevant and boost sales at the same time. In that regard, we got to see the launch of 2025 TVS iQube S and ST variants in India with an updated powertrain that is aimed to offer more range for buyers. Let’s take a look at all the updates.
      2025 TVS iQube S and ST
      Ever since it was launched, TVS iQube has emerged as one of the best-selling electric scooters in India. Now that Ola Electric sales are crumbling down, TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak have gained quite a bit of the market share. There are multiple trim levels of iQube and only the S and ST trims have been updated to MY25 version. Where design changes are concerned, we can see dual-tone seats, beige inner panels and a pillion backrest.
      Starting with 2025 iQube S, the company has priced it at Rs 1.17 lakh (Effective Price, Delhi). Previously, it used to come equipped with a 3.3 kWh battery pack that was rated to deliver around 100 km of range on a single charge in the real world. The new 2025 iQube S gets a slightly larger 3.5 kWh battery pack and TVS is advertising it with an IDC range of 145 km on a single charge.
      It continues to get a 7-inch TFT cluster with HMI integration and other features like 32L underseat storage, USB charging port, external charging socket, 118+ connected features, front disc brake, 78 km/h top speed, 0-40 km/h sprint in 4.2s, reverse mode, 12-inch tyres at both ends, LED lighting telematics, turn-by-turn navigation and more.
      2025 TVS iQube ST
      2025 iQube ST
      The same 3.3 kWh to 3.5 kWh battery pack upgrade can also be seen with a smaller battery variant of the top-spec 2025 TVS iQube ST trim. However, 2025 iQube ST gets an upgrade to its larger battery variant where the 5.1 kWh battery pack has been replaced with a 5.3 kWh pack with a claimed IDC range of 212 km on a single charge. 2025 iQube ST 3.5 kWh costs Rs 1.28 lakh (Effective price) and 5.3 kWh variant costs 1.59 lakh (Effective price).
      Being the top-spec iQube ST trim, it gets a host of features and technology on top of S trim. These include a 7-inch TFT instrument cluster that is a touchscreen, music control, voice assist with Alexa skillset and more. At 132 kg, it is slightly heavier than S trim and hence there is a slight drop in performance as it has a 0-40 km/h sprint of 4.5s.
      In the Indian market, 2025 TVS iQube S and ST rival the likes of Ola S1 Pro and Pro+, Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak and Hero Vida V2 Plus and V2 Pro, among others. With the larger batteries and more IDC-claimed range, the 2025 TVS iQube S and iQube ST are likely to attract more buyers than they did before.

      New TVS Electric Scooter Below iQube – Launch By Sep 2025

      by

      New TVS Electric Scooter?TVS Motor Company, one of the top EV players in India, is gearing up to expand its electric scooter portfolio with an all-new budget-friendly model that will sit below the popular iQube. A report suggests that the new electric scooter is likely to be launched ahead of the festive season this year, targeting price-conscious buyers in India’s growing EV market.
      Expected Pricing Around Rs 90,000 to Rs 1 Lakh
      The TVS iQube, launched in 2020, has been a consistent performer in the electric two-wheeler space, regularly featuring among the top three in monthly EV sales. It is available in five variants with battery capacities ranging from 2.2kWh to 5.1kWh. The base iQube 2.2 is priced at around Rs 1 lakh, while the top-end variant comes close to Rs 2 lakh. The upcoming scooter is expected to undercut the iQube in terms of price, features, and battery size.
      Given the increasing cost of components and the phased reduction in government subsidies, manufacturers are now focused on delivering competitively priced products. TVS’ upcoming e-scooter is likely to feature a simpler design with basic equipment and a smaller battery pack—potentially the same 2.2kWh unit or a new, more compact option. A hub-mounted motor, like the one sourced from Bosch for the iQube, is expected to be part of the package.
      Jupiter or XL Branding?
      While there is no official word on the name yet, speculation suggests it could be positioned under the popular TVS Jupiter sub-brand. TVS is also developing a Jupiter CNG scooter, which is expected to launch later this year. If that happens, Jupiter will become India’s first two-wheeler nameplate to be available in petrol, CNG, and electric variants.
      Another possibility is that the upcoming EV could be an electrified version of the iconic XL moped. TVS has filed patents for names like “XL EV” and “E-XL,” indicating that the new electric offering could also be a modern take on the widely popular XL100. The XL100 remains the most affordable ICE two-wheeler in the country, and its electric counterpart could carry forward that value-for-money legacy.
      A Strong Push to Maintain Top 3 Spot in EV Sales
      TVS is aiming to bring this scooter to market in time for the 2025 festive season, targeting the surge in demand during that period. Positioned around the Rs 90,000 to Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom) range, this new electric scooter could play a crucial role in expanding the brand’s EV footprint while making electric mobility more accessible for a broader set of customers. More details are expected in the coming weeks.

      TVS Ntorq 150 In The Works – Aerox 155, Xoom 160 Rival

      by

      TVS Ntorq. File Photo.Along with sporty styling similar to the existing 125cc model, TVS Ntorq 150 could potentially get a new 150cc liquid cooled engine
      India’s scooter segment is dominated by 110cc and 125cc models, with bestsellers like Honda Activa, TVS Jupiter, Suzuki Access and TVS Ntorq. However, there’s increasing demand for premium performance scooters as well. Offerings in this space include the Yamaha Aerox 155, Hero Xoom 160 and Aprilia 160cc models. Sensing an opportunity, TVS is also planning an entry in this space with Ntorq 150. Let’s check out the details.
      TVS Ntorq 150 – What to expect?
      With the Ntorq 150, TVS could be looking at a future-ready product that aligns with the brand’s long-term goals. As of now, volumes are relatively low in the premium scooter segment in comparison to the 110cc and 125cc segments. For example, Yamaha Aerox 155 contributes just around 4-5% of the brand’s overall sales. The percentage contribution of Xoom 160 is even lower for commuter-focused Hero MotoCorp.
      However, the premium scooter segment is expected to witness increased demand in the coming years. With the Ntorq 150, TVS could be making its move at just the right time. The smaller sibling, Ntorq 125, is already a bestseller. In FY2025, Ntorq 125 was the 5th best selling scooter in the country with a market share of 5.31%. With a similar sporty profile, premium features and a peppy engine, Ntorq 150 could emerge as one of the favourites.
      TVS Ntorq 150 – liquid-cooled or air-cooled?
      As rivals Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160 are equipped with liquid-cooled engines, TVS could follow a similar approach with Ntorq 150. An air-cooled engine would be affordable, but it may not meet user expectations of enhanced performance. Aprilia 160cc models come with air-cooled engines, but TVS may focus more on direct rivals like Aerox 155 and Xoom 160.
      TVS currently does not have a liquid-cooled engine in the 150cc scooter segment. While developing a new engine from scratch may be costly, TVS could offset the expense by deploying it across future models. With expected increased demand in this space, multiple models may be needed to fulfil diverse user preferences.
      While official details are not available, performance of Ntorq 150 could be at par or slightly better than that of rivals. Yamaha Aerox utilizes a 155cc, liquid cooled, SOHC engine that generates 15 PS and 13.9 Nm of torque. Hero Xoom 160 has a 156cc, liquid cooled engine that generates 14.6 PS and 14 Nm of torque.
      Design, features
      TVS Ntorq 150 will have a sporty design, vibrant colours and sporty graphics. It is expected to get TVS SmartXonnect connectivity suite that has Bluetooth, navigation, called ID, last parked location assist and ride stats share feature. To enhance overall performance, Ntorq 150 could get 14-inch wheels. Single-channel ABS will be offered as standard.
      It is expected that TVS Ntorq 150 will be introduced around the upcoming festive season. It could be launched at a starting price of approximately Rs 1.50 lakh. Rival Yamaha Aerox 155 is priced at Rs 1.50 lakh, whereas Hero Xoom 160 costs Rs 1.48 lakh.
