The Jupiter 125 represented a big leap for family scooters in India because TVS took an out-of-the-box approach when it came to packaging the fundamentals of this machine. By moving the fuel tank under the floorboard, the company was able to offer a 33-litre underseat storage area and relocate the fuel filler to the front apron. Here, we’ll explain in detail what the four variants of the Jupiter 125 cost and what they offer you.

TVS Jupiter 125 variant breakdown
Drum
The base variant of the Jupiter 125 is offered with drum brakes at both ends and a digi-analogue instrument cluster. However, it still comes with fuel-saving start/stop tech, 12-inch alloy wheels at both ends (although these are a little simpler than the ones on the higher variants), an LED headlight, the 33-litre underseat storage area and the apron-mounted fuel filler.
The 124.8cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine makes the same 8.2hp and 10.5Nm of torque across the range. At 108kg, it weighs 1 kilo less than all the other variants in the Jupiter 125 line-up. This Drum variant is priced at Rs 76,200 and offered in three colours: matte grey, white and violet.
Disc
Moving up from the base variant, the next one offers you – as the name suggests – a disc brake at the front and brings in a swankier-looking set of alloy wheels. You also have two extra colours – orange and black – to choose from, in addition to the three colours offered on the base Drum variant. At Rs 81,100, this variant costs nearly Rs 5,000 more than the base variant.
DT SXC
Stepping up from the disc variant, you have the dual-tone variant, DT SXC (Dual Tone SmartXonnect) in TVS speak. Essentially, this variant is mechanically identical to the Disc variant below it but brings in a few feel-good features. You have a colour LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity, bringing in call and notification alerts as well as the capability to show you distance to empty and average fuel economy. The DT SXC variant also comes with a pillion backrest as standard. It is offered in two dual-tone paint schemes – white/brown and white/blue – and costs Rs 84,850.
SXC
The range-topping SXC (SmartXonnect) variant comes with a split TFT/LCD display that is also seen on the top Ntorq 125 XT variant. This dash brings in a lot of smart, connected features like navigation with voice assist, call and social media alerts, as well as live sports, weather and news updates. Whether or not this will be useful to the rider is a different question, but it certainly has a lot of capabilities. At Rs 87,150, this is the most expensive variant of the Jupiter 125 family and is available in three colours: green, red and matte bronze.
