The two-wheeler market in India sees no shortage of scooter launches in the 110-125cc segment. Suzuki Motorcycle has now joined the party with its latest offering – the Avenis 125. As a fresh debut in the family scooter space, there is plenty of interest around the Avenis 125 price, mileage, features and how it sizes up against rivals like Honda Activa 125 or TVS Jupiter.
Through this blog, I aim to provide a detailed low-down on what the Avenis 125 has to offer buyers in India along with an objective verdict on its prospects.
Suzuki Avenis 125 Prices – Worth the Premium?
Suzuki has launched the Avenis 125 in three variants:
- Drum brake model – Rs. 86,500 (ex-showroom Delhi)
- Disc brake model – Rs. 87,000 (ex-showroom Delhi)
- Race Edition – Rs. 86,500 (ex-showroom Delhi)
The Avenis 125 commands around a Rs. 7000-8000 premium over TVS Jupiter and is priced on par with Honda Activa 125 in Delhi ex-showroom. However, thanks to a more powerful engine and generous features list, the premium pricing may be justified for buyers wanting better performance and equipment.
Pros of Avenis 125 Pricing:
- Features like LED headlamp, digital console justify premium over Jupiter
- On par with segment leader Honda Activa 125 pricing
Cons of Avenis Pricing:
- Significantly costlier than TVS Jupiter and Hero Maestro Edge 125
- Prices may vary across different cities
Overall, while the Avenis 125 lies at the higher end of the 125cc scooter segment price ladder, the extra money does get you added performance and features.
