Suzuki Motorcycle India has rolled out a new Standard variant of the Avenis, compliant with the new OBD-2B emission norms. At ₹91,400 (ex-showroom, Delhi), this update aligns the scooter with new norms without touching its mechanicals and design.
The Avenis continues to use the 124.3cc, single-cylinder engine that puts out 8.7 PS at 6,750 rpm and 10 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. Suzuki’s SEP (Suzuki Eco Performance) technology is carried over, aimed at optimizing fuel efficiency without sacrificing everyday performance. The engine is paired with a CVT and the scooter weighs in at 106 kg — on par with most of its segment rivals.
Feature-wise, there are no drastic changes. The scooter continues to sport its LED headlight and tail light, a digital instrument cluster, and features such as an external fuel filler, USB charging point, and side-stand engine kill. It retains the same 21.8-litre under-seat storage space.
The styling is still mostly unchanged, carrying on with its youthful looks and a slightly more motorcyle-like appearance. The Standard model comes in four color schemes: Glossy Sparkle Black / Pearl Glacier White, Glossy Sparkle Black / Pearl Mira Red, Champion Yellow No. 2 / Glossy Sparkle Black, and a single-tone Glossy Sparkle Black.
With this refresh, the Avenis still goes head-to-head against the TVS Ntorq 125, Yamaha Ray ZR 125, Honda Grazia, and Hero Maestro Edge 125. While the Avenis stands out for its lightweight packaging and digital features, rivals like the Ntorq offer more power and additional features such as connected tech and voice assist.
