 "TVS Jupiter Grande 5G to get LED light, disc brake, to take on Honda Activa")
TVS Motor Company has been on the roll with its newly launched NTorq 125 scooter, crossing the one lakh milestone in a jiffy. Now the Hosur based company is coming up with a brand new avatar for their 110cc offering, the TVS Jupiter Grande 5G. Although the existing Jupiter is the second-best selling scooter in India right now, market leader Honda Activa is way ahead of its competition. The Honda offering sales clocked to more than three lakh units -- almost 4 times the market share of Jupiter.
The Indian two-wheel manufacturer expects to boost their sales with the all-new Jupiter and the units have already arrived at the dealerships across India.
The festive season offering includes a new digital analogue instrument console with econometer. The design has been rehashed with chrome bits on the sides and fender, and a new white LED headlight set up.
The new Jupiter Grande 5G that arrived at the dealerships comes in a new Starlight Blue colour and bookings start at Rs 5000.
The new scooter comes with beige panels with badging changes, front LED headlamp with a position lamp placed below it. The Starlight blue variant also gets a stitched maroon seat . Silver pillion handle bar and sleek chrome highlights on the mirrors. TVS has also included a mobile charger in the under seat storage space.
While the models arriving at dealerships have a front drum brake, a disc brake option is also rumoured to be on offer that will come with machined alloy wheels and adjustable shocks. The models arriving at the dealerships have a front telescopic fork and gas charged mono-shock at the rear.
The powertrain remains unchanged and the CVT transmission 109.7 cc single cylinder petrol engine returns 8 bhp, and 8 Nm of torque. The vehicle with its major changes is expected to retail at a premium over it's current retailing price of Rs 52,639 (ex-showroom Delhi).
