TVS Jupiter: What Makes it a Best-seller?
What has kept the scooter relevant and competitive is the fact that TVS has been bringing in continuous upgrades of the scooter, with new features and variants, the most recent of which was announced yesterday (August 22). For MY2024, TVS reintroduced the Jupiter 110 in a new avatar.
Ranging from Rs 73,700 (ex-showroom), the Jupiter 110 comes with a fresh design, more features, and a new engine paired with an integrated starter generator (ISG). The new scooter comes in four variants: Drum, Drum Alloy, Drum SmartXonnect, and Disc SmartXonnect.
Powering the 2024 Jupiter 110 is a new 113.5cc single-cylinder engine, which develops 8bhp at 6,500rpm and 9.8Nm of peak torque. Thanks to an 'iGo Assist' performance boost, the 2024 Jupiter 110 delivers more power and torque than the outgoing version. The Jupiter 125, on the other hand, uses a 124.8cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with 8bhp at 6,500rpm and 10.5Nm of peak torque at 4,500rpm. It starts at Rs 79,299 (ex-showroom).
