While the brand intends to keep the details a secret, they have released a new teaser showing the design of the headlamp of the upcoming model. Furthermore, the image had the caption 'Feel the Thrill Like Never Before', hinting at the sporty nature of the upcoming machine. Diving into the details, the picture of the headlight confirms that the scooter will carry the characteristics of its family to have a sporty design. It seems to have a twin LED-light setup divided by a T-shaped DRL which has been a signature style of the brand seen on multiple models including the Ronin. While rest of the design details have not been revealed yet, we can expect the front apron to have an angular design like its 125 cc sibling. Also Read: The brand also revealed the exhaust note of the TVS Ntorq 150 in the teaser while keeping quiet on the powertrain details. But as the name suggests, the scooter will likely have a 150 cc engine. However, it is not confirmed if it will be a new engine or a re-tuned version of the 125 cc engine used on the Ntorq. But for now, we can expect it to be tuned to have sporty performance, justifying the family name. With the Ntorq 150, TVS Motor Company is taking a significant step forward as this will be the first model to have the Ntorq name beside the 125 cc model since its first launch in 2018. Furthermore, it will provide the Ntorq 125 consumers an option to upgrade within the brand. Once launched, the scooter will compete against models like Hero Xoom 160, Yamaha Aerox 155 in the Indian market.
