Hero Passion Plus Launched with OBD2B Compliance at Rs 81,651 in India

The Hero Passion Plus comes in two refreshed colour options: Black Nexus Blue (a black base with blue accents) and Black Heavy Grey (a black base with red accents).

<p>Hero MotoCorp has marked an important milestone with the opening of the first-ever premium showroom in Kerala. Dubbed 'Hero Premia', the showroom is located in Calicut (or&nbsp;Kozhikode) and will house Hero's range of premium two-wheelers, including the Xpulse 200 4V&nbsp;and the flagship&nbsp;Karizma XMR 210, along with the&nbsp;Harley-Davidson X440. Also on display would be the Vida V1 electric scooter, meeting the growing demand for electric mobility solutions.&nbsp;The announcement to open such showroom space was made at the launch of the Harley-Davidson X440 in July 2023, but the company only provided corresponding details&nbsp;during&nbsp;the&nbsp;Karizma XMR launch. The reason behind such a move is to provide a best-in-class ownership experience and an inclusive brand experience to its customers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Situated in Calicut's&nbsp;Auto Hub, 'Hero Premia' is spread over 3,000&nbsp;square feet. What sets the newly opened showroom apart from the regular Hero dealerships is a unique dark facade on its exterior as well as new furnishings and warm hues &amp; tones in the interior. The dealership&nbsp;will have separate display zones for each product - the urban and street motorcycling zones will showcase electric two-wheelers and performance bikes, whereas the lifestyle and exploration zones will house roadsters and adventure bikes.&nbsp;</p>

Bookings can also be placed online on the American manufacturer's official website.&nbsp;</p>
