2025 TVS iQube: Here are 5 key highlights of the updated two-wheeler
TVS Motor Company has quietly launched the updated 2025 iQube electric scooter range in India. With tweaks to performance, features, and design, the new iQube promises to be a more compelling choice in the growing EV scooter segment. Here's a look at the five key highlights of this refresh:
1 Updated battery
The iQube S now comes equipped with a 3.5 kWh battery pack, replacing the older 3.3 kWh unit. This slight bump improves its range without significantly affecting weight or cost. Meanwhile, the iQube ST sees a reduction in battery size—from 5.3 kWh to 5.1 kWh—likely to optimize efficiency and balance performance with energy use. Despite the smaller size, the ST continues to offer segment-leading range.
2 Improved range
Thanks to revised battery packs, the iQube S now claims an IDC-certified range of 145 km, making it more practical for urban and suburban commutes. The iQube ST takes things further, offering a class-leading 212 km of range on a full charge. These improvements aim to reduce range anxiety, which is often a key concern among EV buyers.
3 Design changes
Visually, the iQube ST gets a few smart upgrades that enhance its appeal. New beige-colored inner panels give it a more refined cabin feel, while a dual-tone seat adds a stylish touch. A new pillion backrest has also been integrated neatly, improving comfort for the rear passenger. The rest of the bodywork remains unchanged, keeping the iQube's familiar look intact.
4 New pricing
The updated lineup offers more flexibility in pricing. The iQube S now starts at ₹1.09 lakh (ex-showroom) for the version with a 5-inch TFT display and goes up to ₹1.18 lakh for the 7-inch display model. The ST variant is priced at ₹1.28 lakh for the 3.5 kWh battery version and ₹1.59 lakh for the higher-spec 5.1 kWh battery. While prices have gone up slightly, the added value in range and features may justify the premium.

All variants continue to be powered by a hub-mounted electric motor producing 4.4 kW (5.9 bhp).

Top speeds vary slightly, 75 kmph for the base 2.2 kWh model, 78 kmph for mid-variants and up to 82 kmph for the top-end ST with the 5.1 kWh battery. The scooter offers brisk acceleration for city rides along with a silent and vibration-free experience.

2025 TVS Apache RTR 200 4V: Check out 5 key highlights of the updated naked sport bike
The newly updated TVS Apache RTR 200 4V gets an OBD2B-compliant engine now. TVS Motor Company has introduced the 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V, building on two decades of its racing-inspired legacy. Since its inception, the Apache brand has positioned itself as a performance-focused offering in the premium commuter space, and the latest iteration continues that trend with a range of functional updates. These are aimed at improving handling, rider safety, and compliance with the latest emission norms, without overhauling the core mechanicals. Here are five key highlights of the new model. 2 Engine and ride modes Mechanically, the bike retains its 197.75cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine, producing 20.8 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 17.25 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm. It continues to offer three riding modes, Sport, Urban, and Rain, which adjust throttle response and ABS intervention based on road conditions. While not new, this remains one of the few offerings in the segment to feature such ride adaptability. The dual-channel ABS system includes Rear Lift-off Protection, enhancing braking stability during emergency stops. 5 OBD2B compliance and pricing The 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V is now OBD2B compliant, meeting the latest emission standards applicable in India. This update ensures the bike remains road-legal while also supporting real-time diagnostics and emission monitoring. Priced at ₹ 1,53,990 (ex-showroom Delhi), it retains its place in the affordable performance commuter category, offering a mix of practical features and sporty credentials. However, with limited mechanical changes, its competitiveness will largely depend on how well it stands up to newer rivals offering more substantial updates. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India.

Can RBI's rate cut revive entry-level demand for Hero MotoCorp and Maruti Suzuki?
Auto stocks in focus: The automobile sector across passenger vehicles (PV), two-wheelers (2W), and commercial vehicles (CV) has been facing demand challenges in the domestic market, even as export markets have maintained decent growth despite increasing global headwinds. The continued weakness in domestic demand is attributed to subdued consumer sentiment, particularly in the entry-level segment, which is typically more affordable, simpler, and fuel-efficient. For instance, the contribution of entry-level motorcycles to overall sales declined to 37% in April 2025 from 53% in Q4FY23. Similarly, entry-level cars accounted for only 31% of total PV sales in Q4FY25, down from 41% in Q4FY23. According to domestic brokerage JM Financial, this decline is primarily due to tight liquidity conditions in the financial sector and higher interest rates, which have dampened financing appetite. Amid these tight financial conditions, vehicle loan growth fell to 8.6% in March 2025 from 25.4% in January 2025. The brokerage believes that the Reserve Bank of India's recent 50 basis point repo rate cut will help revive demand for entry-level vehicles, benefiting companies like Hero MotoCorp, TVS Motor Company, Maruti Suzuki, and Ashok Leyland. JM Financial expects that the rate cut will ease financial conditions and reduce borrowing costs for both dealers and end customers, helping to uplift demand sentiment. Additionally, the RBI's pro-growth stance bodes well for NBFCs' risk appetite, which had weakened significantly in H2FY25. Combined with earlier tax reductions announced in the Union Budget to stimulate consumption, the brokerage believes these developments will significantly benefit the entry-level segment. It expects both the entry-level 2W and PV segments to gain momentum following the rate cut. Furthermore, light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and small commercial vehicles (SCVs) are also expected to benefit from lower interest rates. The reduction in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) by 100 basis points—set to be implemented gradually over the course of the year—is projected to inject ₹ 2.5 trillion of primary liquidity into the banking system by the end of November 2025. This increased liquidity should improve fund availability for both consumers and dealers, the brokerage noted. JM Financial maintains its 'Buy' rating on Hero MotoCorp and TVS Motor Company in the 2W segment, with target prices of ₹ 4,700 and ₹ 3150, respectively. In the PV segment, it has a 'Buy' rating on Maruti Suzuki with a target price of ₹ 13,300 per share, and in the CV segment, Ashok Leyland is the top pick, with a 'Buy' rating and a price target of ₹ 264.
