Hero Xpulse 421

<p>
    Hero MotoCorp seems to be on a roll, turning its concepts from EICMA 2024 into reality. Hot on the heels of the Xoom 160 comes the Xtreme 250R. It is touted as the quickest machine in its class. With its bold, aggressive styling, it certainly grabs attention, but does its performance back it up?</p>

<h2>Hero Xtreme 250R Design &amp; Styling: Italian Flair?</h2>

<p>Let’s talk design first – well, because, frankly, it’s impossible to ignore. While the styling is a bit polarising, personally, I’m quite taken by its sharp, aggressive lines. During our ride in Udaipur, it drew plenty of attention – some admiring, others possibly bewildered. There’s a clear hint of Italian streetfighter flair here, particularly in the pointed front end housing the LED projector headlamp, the muscular tank shrouds flanking the sculpted fuel tank, and the stubby, minimalist tail section. Viewed head-on, it has a bit of a Ducati-esque appearance.</p><p>
      <br></p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747140520727-tzvl-Hero-Xtreme-250R-Stand-View.webp" alt="Hero Xtreme 250R-Stand-View.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>Hero’s design team has clearly gone the extra mile, delivering a look that feels both premium and purposeful. The 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels complement the overall design very well, especially in the striking colour scheme you see on these pages. That said, it’s not without its flaws. For instance, the integrated saree guard and front number plate holder feels bulky and detracts from its otherwise sleek profile – while the bike looks cleaner without it, it’s neither legal nor practical.</p>







<h2>Hero Xtreme 250R Features &amp; Tech: Tech Savvy?</h2>

<p>For its segment, the Xtreme 250R is reasonably equipped. A standout feature is the Class-D LED projector headlamp, which has proven quite effective in previous models like the Xpulse 200 4V. LED indicators are standard, and the emergency stop signal – which activates the hazard light during hard braking – is a thoughtful safety addition. The bike also features switchable dual-channel ABS with two selectable modes – Road and Race – offering added flexibility.</p><p>
      <br></p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747140413745-yl8r-Hero-Xtreme-250R-Speedometer.webp" alt="Hero Xtreme 250R-Speedometer.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>For instrumentation, the Xtreme 250R comes with an easy-to-read, negative LCD panel with Bluetooth connectivity for alerts and navigation. While it does the job well, it lacks the premium feel of the TFT displays found on some key rivals, such as the KTM 250 Duke. At this price point, a TFT display would have significantly enhanced its appeal.</p>







<h2>Hero Xtreme 250R Comfort &amp; Ergonomics: Comfort Zone?</h2>

<p>Ergonomically, the Xtreme 250R is quite accessible. Its wide handlebar and 806mm seat height provide a comfortable, upright riding posture, which is good for city riding and should be manageable for most riders. The seat is well-contoured, offering decent comfort. The bike is also good in terms of practicality – its 167mm of ground clearance is quite sufficient for uneven or broken roads.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Hero_Xtreme_250R_First_Ride_Review_autoX-1764048175762.webp" alt="Hero_Xtreme_250R_First_Ride_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>That said, the neutral footpeg position and upright stance make it a bit challenging to fully tuck in or grip the bike during more spirited riding. While it’s great for daily commuting, it slightly detracts from the aggressive riding experience. On the upside, the wide handlebars offer excellent leverage, making quick steering inputs fairly easy.</p>



<h2>Hero Xtreme 250R Performance &amp; Handling: Go vs Show?</h2>

<p>Now, let’s talk about the heart of the matter: performance and handling. The Xtreme 250R is powered by a relatively new 250cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, which is essentially a stroked version of the 210cc unit from the Karizma. Hero claims outputs of 29.5bhp at 9,250rpm and 25Nm of torque at 7,250rpm. With a 12:1 compression ratio and that peak power figure, it’s clear that it is a top-end focused motor – and that’s exactly how it feels on the road.</p><p>
      <br></p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747140407759-h0ch-Hero-Xtreme-250R-Engine.webp" alt="Hero Xtreme 250R-Engine.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p><br></p>

<p>That’s not to say that it’s completely gutless lower down. There’s a healthy, usable mid-range, which makes city commuting and overtaking quite easy. But to truly tap into its performance, you really need to wring its neck and keep the revs high. It thrives when pushed, which makes it quite engaging around twisty roads.</p><p>However, this high-revving nature comes at a cost. Vibrations creep in as the revs climb, particularly through the handlebars and footpegs. During the test, while riding spiritedly, I often found myself short-shifting out of mechanical sympathy, hesitant to constantly wring it out. If you prefer an engine you can thrash, this might not be it. </p>

<p>Hero claims that the Xtreme 250R is the fastest in its class (0 – 60 km/h and 0 – 100 km/h). While it’s yet to be verified with proper testing equipment, my seat-of-the-pants impressions suggest that it’s a brisk and eager performer, especially once you’re past the mid-range.</p><p>
      <br></p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747140375658-awoj-Hero-Xtreme-250R-Motion.webp" alt="Hero Xtreme 250R-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>Where the Xtreme 250R truly shines is in terms of handling. The chassis feels taut and communicative, giving the bike a light, nimble character. Whether you’re weaving through city traffic or carving up a twisty mountain road, it responds eagerly to inputs and holds its line with reassuring confidence. The suspension strikes a commendable balance – it’s firm enough for sporty riding and yet compliant enough to handle rough roads.</p>

<h2>Hero Xtreme 250R Verdict: Should You Buy This New 250cc Streetfighter?</h2>

<p>The Hero Xtreme 250R is a strong contender in the 250cc segment. With its sharp styling, agile handling, and decent feature list, it offers a well-rounded package for riders seeking a sporty yet practical machine. The engine offers solid performance, especially in the top end, though it’s not the smoothest engine out there. Still, it is an agile, sporty streetfighter, which is also comfortable enough for daily use.</p>

<p>While the LCD screen feels a bit dated compared to what some of its rivals offer, the overall package, especially the bike’s dynamic ability, is quite compelling. So, if you prefer sharp aesthetics, agile handling, and an engine that rewards spirited riding, the Xtreme 250R is well worth considering.</p><p>

Hero Xtreme 250R First Ride Review - Xtreme 'Nuff?

Hero’s sharply styled Xtreme 250R promises class-leading performance and standout streetfighter attitude, but does it truly deliver where it matters most?

<p>Hero MotoCorp is preparing to mark its entry into the electric motorcycle category with the introduction of the Vida VXZ. The company has confirmed that the model will make its global debut at EICMA 2025 in Milan as part of its plan to expand in the electric two-wheeler space. The motorcycle’s debut will help Hero expand its electric vehicle portfolio and build its presence in international markets. The announcement highlights Hero’s long-term plan to build scalable electric platforms that meet growing global demand and align with its strategy for a wider electric product network that serves both domestic and export markets.</p>

<p>The Indian motorcycle manufacturer has released teasers giving an outline of the Vida VXZ’s styling direction. The preview images display a headlamp unit with an LED daytime running light pattern that follows the design theme of the existing <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/vida/">Vida range</a>. The rear section shows a split seat layout and separate grab rails, suggesting a layout focused on rider and pillion convenience. The seat and tail structure indicate a design meant for stable movement and added practicality on everyday routes.</p>
<p>Further design hints suggest a layout centred around control and stability. The wide handlebar, seen in the teasers, and the mid-mounted motor paired with a belt-drive setup are expected to support balanced operation. The battery pack appears to be located low within the chassis, which could help achieve better mass distribution and ride balance. A full digital TFT display is also believed to be included, possibly featuring connectivity functions already seen in other Hero products.</p>

Hero has finally launched the much-awaited Xoom 160 maxi-scooter — and we’ve ridden it! Karan takes you through its design, features, practicality, ride quality and performance to see if Hero’s first serious attempt at a maxi-scooter lives up to the hype.

<p>Companies usually load their most expensive, top-of-the-line
products with cutting-edge features. It makes sense that a cool new feature
debuts in the premium offering before trickling down to more affordable models.
But Hero MotoCorp seems to have flipped that script. The Indian automaker has
launched a new avatar of the Glamour, the Glamour X 125, with cruise control – a
feature usually reserved for motorcycles with much bigger engines and even
bigger price tags. And that’s not all – the bike also packs in other tech features,
which aim to enhance its appeal for today’s riders. But how effective are these
features at making the Glamour X a smart buy? Let’s find out.</p>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4807oDmflm0?si=svYa8GpItwruKhgl&amp;start=3" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

<h2>Hero Glamour X Review: Design Changes <br></h2>

<p>Hero has given the Glamour a proper makeover to justify the
‘X’ in its name. It now comes with an all-LED lighting setup, featuring a
redesigned headlamp and taillamp. These new units look noticeably sharper than those
on the standard Glamour. The sleek LED indicators are a particularly nice
touch, and the rear ones double as panic braking signals – a useful safety
feature, for sure.&nbsp;The fuel tank still holds 10 litres, but it now gets
extended shrouds that will instantly remind you of the older Hero Hunk.</p>

<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Hero-Glamour-X-Web-3-1756277898463.webp" alt="Hero Glamour X Seat.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

<p>The seat cushion, though fairly long and wide, can become
uncomfortable over time. Hero would do well to introduce a more supportive seat
on this bike. In terms of design, the only weak point is the rear tyre – it appears a bit too skinny, given how broad the bike is towards the rear. On the plus side,
overall fit and finish levels are solid.</p>
<h2>Hero Glamour X Review: Engine Performance, Ride &amp; Mileage <br></h2>
<p><span>While
the design changes and tech features may grab the spotlight, the Glamour X’s engine, in my view, is its strongest aspect. Borrowed from the Xtreme 125R, the engine produces 1bhp more than that of the standard Glamour. While it feels peppy at city
speeds, it doesn’t quite have the top-end punch to be a highway hero.
Refinement levels are impressive, with only the faintest trace of vibration
creeping in at higher revs. Like the Xtreme 125R, the Glamour X also comes with
a kick-start feature – a refreshingly practical touch in a modern commuter.</span></p>

<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Hero-Glamour-X-Web-9-1756277999118.webp" alt="Hero Glamour X Engine.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

<p>The suspension setup is surprisingly on the stiffer side. You feel
most of the undulations, and even with a pillion on the back, the damping
doesn’t improve much. While the front forks are decent, the twin rear springs
are noticeably firm.</p>
<p>While Hero claims a mileage of 65km/l, I managed to squeeze
out 75 km/l during our test ride. This was after covering 100km on the bike and
using all three ride modes in almost equal measure. But then, I did most of
the riding on the highway during the early hours, which meant I didn't encounter heavy traffic.
That said, I did push the bike hard, testing its acceleration and top-end
performance in each mode. So, even if you’re riding through traffic-laden city
roads, you should still see figures close to the company’s claim, which is quite
impressive.</p>
<h2>Hero Glamour X Review: Features <br></h2>
<p>The most talked-about feature of the Glamour X is cruise
control, and for obvious reasons. To be honest, it doesn’t make much sense to have
cruise control on a commuter motorcycle that can barely manage highway speeds.
Add to that the fact that two-wheelers aren’t allowed on many expressways in
India – the very roads where cruise control would be most useful – and the
feature begins to feel somewhat out of place.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Hero-Glamour-X-Web-11-1756278587782.webp" alt="Hero Glamour X cruise control.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div><p>That said, the upside is clear – with cruise control making
its debut on the Glamour X, it’s likely only a matter of time before Hero
introduces it on larger bikes, where it would be more practical. As for
functionality, it’s simple enough to engage via a switch on the right side of
the handlebars. However, I did notice the system struggling to hold a perfectly
steady pace – the speed would fluctuate by about 2 – 3 km/h on either side of
the set limit.</p>

<p>Another highlight of the Glamour X is its ride-by-wire
system, which offers three ride modes – Eco, Road, and Power. The bike’s
response noticeably changes across these modes. In Eco, acceleration is
understandably gentler, and the bike feels somewhat restrained. What stands out
in this mode is the smoother throttle response compared to the more abrupt,
almost on / off feel of the other two modes. The head nod you experience in
Road and Power modes can become a bit annoying over time, and that’s something Hero needs to address.</p>

<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Hero-Glamour-X-Web-7-1756277847849.webp" alt="Hero Glamour X Instrument Cluster.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

<p>The Glamour X features a 4.2-inch multi-colour LCD
instrument cluster. At first glance, it may look basic, but the layout is clean
and functional. It displays a range of useful information, including two trip
meters, and can be paired with your smartphone via Bluetooth for a host of
features, including turn-by-turn navigation.</p>
<h2>Hero Glamour X Review: Verdict <br></h2>
<p>To get all the new gadgets, you’ll need to opt for the disc
variant of the Glamour X, priced at Rs 99,999 (ex-showroom). The lower drum
variant costs Rs 10,000 less but misses out on several key features, including
LED lighting, panic brake alert, and, of course, cruise control. For the money,
the disc variant offers far better value, making the drum version a bit pointless.</p>

<p>If you’re looking purely for a no-frills commuter to get you
from point A to point B, the regular Glamour still makes sense. The only real
drawbacks of the Glamour X are its less-than-ideal seat and stiff suspension.
Beyond that, it’s a solid step up from the standard model, blending a sharp design
with likeable performance.</p>

Hero Glamour X 125 First Ride Review: Too much tech?

The new Hero Glamour X 125 promises the most tech-packed experience in its segment. But are these features genuinely useful or just gimmicks?

<p>Hero MotoCorp has started accepting bookings for its new premium maxi-scooter, the Xoom 160, which carries a price tag of Rs 1.49 lakh (ex-showroom). First revealed at the Bharat Mobility Expo in early 2025, the scooter features an adventure-style design paired with a 156cc liquid-cooled engine producing roughly 14.6bhp and 14Nm of torque. Although the model was announced in January, its launch was delayed, with Hero now confirming that customer deliveries will commence in August. Equipped with features like a smart key, Bluetooth-enabled navigation, LED headlamp, and a fully digital instrument cluster, the Xoom 160 is positioned to make a strong impression in India’s growing premium scooter space.</p><h2>Hero Xoom 160: Design Highlights</h2><p>Hero’s Xoom 160 brings a bold and upright stance to the premium scooter space, boasting an elongated frame and pronounced proportions.

<p>Honda’s newly unveiled Shine 100 DX takes aim directly at the longstanding commuter favourite, the Hero Splendor Plus. With bookings starting August 1, the Shine DX’s official ex-showroom price has yet to be announced. Under the bodywork, it packs a 98.98 cc air‑cooled engine delivering 7.28bhp and 8.04Nm. In contrast, the Hero Splendor Plus runs a 97.2 cc unit producing 7.89bhp and 8.05Nm, with a 112 kg kerb weight and 18-inch wheels, all featuring OBD‑2B compliance, i3S idle‑stop tech, and real‑time mileage display.

Honda Shine DX vs Hero Splendor Plus Spec Comparison: What's Different? 

Honda’s latest commuter entrant, the Shine 100 DX, has been officially revealed, though its pricing is yet to be announced.

<p>Hero MotoCorp has silently withdrawn the most budget-friendly variant of the Karizma XMR 210 from its Indian portfolio, effectively raising the model’s entry point to around Rs 2 lakh. The discontinued version, which retailed at Rs 1.81 lakh, was equipped with conventional front forks and a basic LCD console. With this variant no longer on sale, the Karizma XMR is now limited to two higher-end trims, the Top variant (Rs 1.99 lakh) and the Combat Edition (Rs 2.01 lakh). All mentioned prices are ex-showroom figures. Both come with notable upgrades, including USD front forks, a 4.2-inch colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, and sharper styling. By eliminating the lower-spec option, Hero has repositioned the Karizma XMR as a more upmarket offering, targeting buyers seeking a more feature-rich and performance-oriented package.</p><h2>Hero Karizma XMR: Features, Variants, Hardware, and More</h2><p>Hero updated the Karizma XMR range in April by expanding the lineup to include a higher-spec ‘Top’ trim along with a distinct, limited-run ‘Combat Edition’. One of the most notable improvements is the replacement of the basic LCD console with a fully digital TFT unit. This new screen brings over 35 functions, including auto-adjusting brightness for day and night, dual ABS mode indicators, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, gear position display, call and SMS alerts, and even media playback controls.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/new-honda-cb125-hornet-revealed-in-india-to-rival-tvs-raider-125-and-hero-xtreme-125r-121324/">New Honda CB125 Hornet Revealed In India; To Rival TVS Raider 125 and Hero Xtreme 125R</a></p><p>With the entry-level variant discontinued, the Karizma XMR is now only available in two versions&nbsp;– Top and Combat&nbsp;– priced at Rs 2 lakh and Rs 2.01 lakh, respectively (ex-showroom).

The motorcycle is offered in a range of colour schemes, including Iconic Yellow, Turbo Red, and Matte Phantom Black. <br></p><p>Under the bodywork, the Karizma XMR remains unchanged mechanically. It continues to be powered by a 210cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that produces 25bhp at 9,250rpm and 20.4Nm of torque at 7,250rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and assisted by a slip-and-assist clutch. Designed for riders seeking a faired, performance-leaning motorcycle under 250cc, the bike continues to sit on a trellis frame.<br></p><p>It rides on 17-inch black alloy wheels, with braking handled by a 300mm front disc and a 230mm rear disc, equipped with dual-channel ABS. A key hardware upgrade is the addition of upside-down front forks, now standard, while the rear retains a gas-charged monoshock.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/hero-vida-vx2-price-slashed-by-up-to-rs-15000-in-limited-time-deal-starts-at-rs-44990-121191/">Hero Vida VX2 Price Slashed by Up to Rs 15,000 in Limited-Time Deal; Starts at Rs 44,990</a></p><p>The Karizma XMR also gets a seat height of 810mm, 180mm of ground clearance, and an 11-litre fuel tank.

Hero Karizma XMR Base Variant Discontinued in India; Now Priced at Rs 2 Lakh

<p>Hero MotoCorp has rolled out a limited-period price drop for its Vida VX2 electric scooter, making it significantly more affordable for prospective buyers. As part of this offer, the VX2 Go variant with Battery-as-a-Service now carries a starting price of Rs 44,990, while the VX2 Plus under the same plan is available at Rs 57,990, reflecting a reduction of up to Rs 15,000. The fixed-battery versions have also seen notable cuts, now retailing at Rs 84,990 (Go) and Rs 99,990 (Plus). Designed for everyday urban commuting, both variants are equipped with removable battery packs and deliver claimed ranges of 92 km and 142 km, respectively. With this revised pricing, Hero MotoCorp aims to make its most affordable electric scooter more accessible and boost sales in the competitive entry-level EV segment.</p><h2>Hero Vida VX2: Battery and Range </h2><p>The Vida VX2 is available in two variants, each offering different battery configurations and performance levels.

Acceleration also differs: the Go takes 4.2 seconds to go from 0 to 40km/h, whereas the Plus does it quicker in 3.1 seconds.</p><h2>Hero Vida VX2: Charging Time</h2><p>The Vida VX2 supports fast charging, allowing the battery to charge up to 80% in about an hour.

<p>Hero MotoCorp’s electric division, Vida, has unveiled a shadowy teaser of its upcoming VX2 electric scooter, offering a faint glimpse of its form ahead of the official India launch on July 1. The image doesn’t reveal much, but the silhouette suggests design cues reminiscent of the Vida Z concept, possibly featuring a sharply styled front and sleek lighting elements akin to the V2 lineup. Reports from previous sightings hint that the VX2 will be a cost-effective alternative to the current Vida models, likely targeting a lower price bracket. Expected equipment includes a compact digital instrument cluster, a standard key ignition setup, and familiar controls from the V2 range. With no technical specifications disclosed yet, the teaser has stirred curiosity as enthusiasts wait for full details in the coming weeks.</p><h2>Hero Vida VX2: Key Details</h2><p>The Vida VX2 prototype was recently sighted in a bold Candy Yellow colour – a fresh addition to the Vida lineup. The scooter features a contrasting black grab rail and appears to use the same taillamp design as the Vida V2. Notable changes include slightly redesigned switchgear and the presence of a standard key ignition system, unlike the V2’s keyless setup. Another key difference is the display: instead of the V2’s 7-inch touchscreen, the VX2 seems to use a more compact, no-frills digital unit, reinforcing its likely budget-oriented positioning.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/hero-glamour-launched-with-obd2b-compliance-at-rs-86698-in-india-120431/">Hero Glamour Launched with OBD2B Compliance at Rs 86,698 in India</a><br><br>Pricing has not yet been announced, though the VX2 is expected to undercut the Vida V2, which currently retails between Rs 74,000 and Rs 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom).</p><h2>Hero MotoCorp Sales Figures: May 2025</h2><p>In other news, Hero MotoCorp has disclosed that it sold 5.08 lakh two-wheelers in May 2025, showing a sharp recovery from the previous month’s figures. In April, the company had to suspend production at four manufacturing units for three days due to scheduled maintenance and supply chain adjustments, which led to reduced output and sales dropping to 3.05 lakh units. As operations normalised in May, sales surged, registering a significant 66% increase compared to April.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/kawasaki-klx230-vs-hero-xpulse-210-spec-comparison-whats-different-120579/">Kawasaki KLX230 vs Hero XPulse 210 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>Despite this strong month-over-month bounce, year-over-year growth was minimal. The company’s May 2025 sales were only slightly higher than the 4.98 lakh units sold in May 2024 – an increase of just 1.9%. Hero reported retailing a total of about 5.08 lakh motorcycles and scooters last month, compared to 4.98 lakh units during the same period the previous year.</p>

Hero Vida VX2 Electric Scooter Officially Teased Ahead of India Launch

The Hero Vida VX2 is expected to undercut the Vida V2, which currently retails between Rs 74,000 and Rs 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom).

<p>Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to expand its electric mobility portfolio with the launch of new Vida electric scooters in India on July 1. While official details remain limited, the upcoming models are expected to build on the brand’s existing EV platform with updated styling, features, and performance enhancements. Positioned to strengthen Hero’s presence in the fast-growing electric two-wheeler segment, the new Vida offerings are likely to target urban commuters looking for efficient and eco-friendly mobility. The launch could also bring competitive pricing and smart connectivity features aimed at younger buyers.</p><h2>Upcoming Hero Vida Scooters: What We Know So Far</h2><p>Hero MotoCorp has yet to formally showcase its upcoming electric scooters, but insights from leaked design patents and heavily camouflaged test vehicles offer a glimpse into what’s coming. The new models are expected to carry forward the general silhouette of the Vida V1, though redesigned with simplification in mind to reduce costs. Anticipate a more restrained front section, basic lighting architecture, and a reduced selection of colour schemes. Cost-conscious revisions may also extend to elements like the grab handle and side panels, which are likely to adopt a no-frills aesthetic. Onboard features are expected to include essentials such as regenerative braking, full LED lighting, digital instrumentation, and smartphone-based connectivity.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/hero-xtreme-250r-first-ride-review-120694/">Hero Xtreme 250R First Ride Review</a></p><p>Currently, the Vida range is offered with 2.2kWh, 3.4kWh, and 3.9kWh battery packs. The forthcoming Vida Z variant, however, is expected to feature a fixed battery setup rather than the swappable units seen on the V1. This battery will likely be smaller in capacity, delivering an estimated range of up to 90 km. The electric motor, too, is expected to be slightly less powerful, with an output projected below 5.36bhp. Hero’s present EV lineup includes the V2 Lite, V2 Plus, and V2 Pro, but the upcoming models will likely sit below these in the pecking order, targeting cost-conscious buyers and widening the brand’s market reach.</p><p> While prices for the existing Vida scooters range from Rs 74,000 to Rs 1.15 lakh (ex-showroom), the new offerings are expected to arrive with an even more accessible price tag. <br></p><h2>Hero MotoCorp Sales Figures: April 2025&nbsp;</h2><p>Hero MotoCorp saw a notable decline in its overall two-wheeler performance in April 2025. The company dispatched approximately 3.05 lakh units during the month, reflecting a sharp 42.76% drop compared to 5.34 lakh units in April 2024. The month-on-month numbers were also discouraging, with March 2025 reporting around 5.50 lakh units – a 44.43% decrease. However, VAHAN data paints a slightly different picture, recording 5.05 lakh internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle registrations under Hero’s name for the same period. On the domestic front, sales stood at over 2.88 lakh units – a 43.79% year-on-year decline and 43.44% lower than the previous month.<br><br>Motorcycles remained the brand’s volume mainstay, though sales dropped to 2.86 lakh units, down 42.38% YoY and 43.53% MoM. Scooter volumes fell even more sharply to 19,317 units, representing a 47.85% drop from April 2024 and a 55.04% dip from March 2025. Exports were also impacted, slipping to 16,882 units – 16.79% below last year’s figure and 57.28% lower than the previous month.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2025-hero-hf-100-with-obd2b-compliance-launched-in-india-at-rs-60118-120586/">2025 Hero HF 100 with OBD2B Compliance Launched in India at Rs 60,118</a><br></p><p>In contrast to the struggling ICE segment, Hero’s electric division showed promise. The VIDA V2 electric scooter achieved 7,116 retail units in April 2025, with VAHAN registering 6,123 units.
