TVS has launched the Jupiter 125 SmartXonnect at Rs 96,855 (ex-showroom, Delhi). This scooter gets a TFT dash that enables you to connect your smartphone to it via Bluetooth.
The Jupiter 125 is powered by an air-cooled, 124.8cc, single-cylinder engine making 8.2hp at 6,500rpm and 10.5Nm at 4,500rpm. This is a simpler engine than the one found in the sportier Ntorq 125 and is aimed at maximising fuel efficiency and being good at city speeds. Kerb weight is a manageable 109kg and seat height stands at an accessible 765mm.
The digital dash brings in a host of features including real-time sporting match updates, alerts from food and shopping apps, news & weather updates and voice assistance. This is addition to the usual suite of connectivity which includes call, message alerts and turn-by-turn navigation.
