Clean, Compliant and Connected
Suzuki Motorcycle India has launched a new variant of its sporty scooter — the Suzuki Avenis Standard — now updated to meet the OBD-2B emission norms. At ₹91,400 (ex-showroom, Delhi), this version slots in as the entry point to the Avenis lineup, targeting younger riders and urban commuters looking for a balance of performance, practicality, and now, cleaner emissions.
Engine and Performance
Powering the Avenis Standard is the familiar 124.3cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that puts out 8.7PS at 6,750rpm and 10Nm at 5,500rpm. Built on Suzuki’s SEP (Suzuki Eco Performance) platform, the motor promises refined performance with decent fuel efficiency. The OBD-2B compliance ensures real-time emission monitoring, keeping the scooter future-ready and in line with government norms.
Features That Matter
Suzuki hasn’t skimped on kit. The Avenis continues to offer a fully digital instrument cluster with battery voltage, oil change indicator, trip meters, engine temperature, and even real-time fuel consumption readouts. It gets LED headlamps and taillamps, a sporty muffler cover, USB-equipped front box, and 21.8 litres of underseat storage. There’s also a shuttered key system, external fuel filler cap, side-stand interlock, and a start/stop switch with Suzuki’s Easy Start system.
Design and Colours
Designed with motorcycle-inspired aggression, the Avenis Standard retains its sharp styling and bold stance. The new variant will be available in four colourways:
- Glossy Sparkle Black / Pearl Glacier White
- Glossy Sparkle Black / Pearl Mira Red
- Champion Yellow No. 2 / Glossy Sparkle Black
- Glossy Sparkle Black (single tone)
Competition Check
The Suzuki Avenis takes on rivals like the TVS NTorq 125, Honda Dio 125, and Hero Xoom 125. While the NTorq offers similar sporty styling and more variant options, the Dio 125 appeals with Honda’s refinement. The Avenis, with its solid feature list and Suzuki reliability, remains a compelling choice for young, style-conscious riders.
Final Thoughts
The Avenis Standard may not shout from rooftops, but it gets the job done with quiet competence — like a college topper who also DJs on weekends. It’s cleaner, smarter, and still looks ready for a street race against that flashy NTorq kid. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, feature-loaded urban scooter that won’t give you “range anxiety” or mid-month service bills, this one’s worth a look.
