Yamaha has revealed the FZ-S Fi Hybrid model at Auto Expo 2025. This bike gets an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), providing a slight electric boost, silent start, start/stop tech, and a Bluetooth-compatible TFT display. The FZ-S Hybrid is the first bike in India to use this system.

  1. The FZ-S Hybrid is powered by the same 149cc engine
  2. It gets a Bluetooth-compatible TFT display 
  3. The indicators have been repositioned to the fuel tank

The hybrid tech on this bike comes courtesy of an ISG, similar to those found on Yamaha and TVS scooters, which provides a small electric boost to bump up the bike's maximum output. Two other features now bundled into the FZ-S are start/stop tech and a silent start. The FZ-S’s air-cooled, 149cc, single-cylinder engine currently makes 12.4hp and 13.3Nm in the standard model, so expect a small increment on this hybrid model. 

The other change is the addition of a colour TFT display, which brings features like call/notification alerts, music playback control, and new switchgear to control the additional functions. The FZ-S Hybrid’s LED indicators are also present on the faux air vents on the tank extensions. Besides these changes, the FZ-S Hybrid is visually and mechanically identical to the standard bike.

Currently, the FZ-S V4 is priced at Rs 1,30,700 for the standard variant and Rs 1,31,200 for the DLX variant.
