TVS Jupiter 125 :- In a market where commuter scooters are often seen as purely functional, the TVS Jupiter 125 stands out by blending practicality with a dash of premium sophistication.
TVS has long been recognized for making reliable two-wheelers, and with the Jupiter 125, it pushes the boundaries further by offering a scooter that caters not just to daily commuters but also small families and value-conscious urban riders.
Built on a brand-new platform and designed with space, comfort, and fuel efficiency in mind, the Jupiter 125 is more than just an upgrade — it’s a reimagination of what a family scooter can be.
Design
The Jupiter 125 sports a refined, mature design that speaks to both young professionals and older riders. It’s more substantial in appearance compared to the Jupiter 110, with a broader front apron, chrome accents, and a neatly integrated LED headlamp that adds a touch of sophistication.
The scooter’s stance is balanced and upright, making it look stable and road-ready. Thoughtful touches like body-colored mirrors, alloy wheels (on higher variants), and a well-sculpted seat underline its premium positioning. The overall aesthetic leans more toward elegance than sportiness, setting it apart from other flashy models in the segment.
New Features
TVS has packed the Jupiter 125 with smart, rider-focused features. The highlight is its under-seat fuel tank, a segment-first innovation that allows for a front fuel filler cap, making refueling much more convenient. This design also creates a massive 32-liter under-seat storage, enough to fit two half-face helmets — a rare feat for Indian scooters.
Other notable features include a semi-digital instrument cluster with real-time mileage indicators, a USB charging port, side-stand engine inhibitor, and external fuel gauge. Some variants also offer a silent-start system and LED DRLs, boosting both convenience and safety.
Engine and Performance
Under the body, the Jupiter 125 houses a new 124.8cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine tuned for smooth power delivery and efficiency. It produces around 8.3 hp and 10.5 Nm of torque, making it one of the torquiest scooters in its class. This results in brisk acceleration and strong mid-range performance — ideal for city riding, even with a pillion.
TVS has optimized the engine for refinement, and it shows. The vibrations are minimal, throttle response is smooth, and the CVT gearbox is well-calibrated to avoid jerky transitions. Whether navigating traffic or cruising at moderate speeds, the Jupiter 125 feels balanced and stress-free.
Mileage
Fuel economy remains a top priority for most Indian buyers, and TVS delivers here as well. Thanks to fuel injection and an eco-thrust fuel-saving mechanism, the Jupiter 125 claims a real-world mileage of 55–60 km/l, depending on riding habits and traffic conditions. The 5-liter fuel tank offers decent range, and the external fuel filler makes topping up a breeze.
Quality and Features
TVS has upped the ante in quality for the Jupiter 125. The plastics feel durable, the switchgear is tactile, and the paint finish is top-notch.
The seat cushioning is excellent, ensuring comfort on long commutes. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks and a 3-step adjustable gas-charged rear shock — tuned for comfort over potholes and speed bumps.
The braking setup includes drum brakes on the base variant and an optional front disc on higher trims, with Synchronized Braking Technology (SBT) to ensure safe and efficient stops.
