BREAKING: Suzuki Avenis Launched In India at Rs 86,700 Onwards

With the Avenis, Suzuki now has a direct rival to the TVS NTorq 125

It’s powered by the Burgman-sourced 124cc air-cooled motor that makes 8.7PS and 10Nm.  The features list includes LED illumination, a fully digital cluster with smartphone connectivity and a USB charging port. It’s offered in five colour options and two variants: connect and race. 

Suzuki India added a new sporty scooter to its 125cc lineup in the form of the Avenis. It’s priced at Rs 86,700 for the Connect variant and Rs 87,000 for the Race edition (ex-showroom Delhi). It costs Rs 3,100 more than Access 125 and Rs 2,900 less than Burgman Street. With the Avenis in its arsenal, Suzuki now has a direct rival to the TVS NTorq 125 and the Yamaha Ray ZR 125. Official bookings for the new Suzuki scooter will commence in December.

The Suzuki Avenis features a sporty and youthful design. It gets an apron-mounted LED headlight with ducts on both sides and the bulb turn indicators are mounted on the handlebar cowl. Just like the fascia, the side and the rear profiles too have an abundance of sharp lines present overall. Not to mention, it gets a petite smoked visor as well. 

The muffler seems very identical to that of the Burgman, meanwhile, the tail light is a fresh new design housing a split LED unit. For added convenience, it gets an external fuel-filler cap.

Powering the Suzuki Avenis is the Burgman Street borrowed 124cc air-cooled motor. It dishes out 8.7PS and 10Nm. For reference, the NTorq 125 XP’s motor makes 10.2PS and 10.8Nm and the standard NTorq 125’s mill develops 9.38PS and 10.5Nm. 

It features a fully digital LCD cluster that houses the speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel level readout, and time. Similar to the one seen on the Burgman Street Connect variant, the Avenis’ dash also features Bluetooth connectivity. You can access missed-call, WhatsApp, SMS notifications and turn-by-turn navigation. The engine start and kill switch are integrated. For added safety, you also get a side-stand cutoff sensor. 

It’s sprung by a conventional telescopic fork and a single-sided rear shock. The braking hardware comprises a front disc and a rear drum brake setup. 

The Suzuki Avenis is practical too. You get a cubby hole with the USB charging port, utility hooks and the underseat storage too seems decent. 

All in all, the Avenis should aid in attracting a larger and younger customer base for Suzuki’s scooter lineup. With that being said, Suzuki could’ve taken a bit more unique design approach rather than being a TVS NTorq 125 clone.
