The Suzuki Access 125 launched at the Auto Expo 2025 may come across as an updated model, but it is actually a new-generation product. An interview with Suzuki engineers revealed that the Access 125 has received many significant changes under the skin.
- 2025 Access 125 uses a new chassis
- Engine receives major updates
- Styling has seen smaller changes
The big change in the 2025 Suzuki Access 125 is that it is based on a new chassis. Suzuki tells us that it developed a new frame due to complications with exhaust muffler routing. This is because the exhaust system has been revised with new catalyst chambers to meet stricter emission norms.
Along with the change in the chassis is a small increase in the fuel tank capacity, growing from 5 litres to 5.3 litres. Despite moving to a new frame, Suzuki has stuck with the 10-inch rear wheel. The company says that the 10-inch wheel is well-accepted in the market and helps keep costs down. Kerb weight has gone up by a couple of kilos, but at 105 (or 106kg, depending on the variant), this is still a fairly light scooter.
The 2025 Access 125 also gets a heavily revised engine. While the bore and stroke figures are the same, there are many significant changes; the camshaft, crankshaft and crankcases are all new. The cases have changed because Suzuki has moved to a new starter clutch, which helps with a silent start. The fuel injectors are also different, and the ECU programming has been revised to match these changes. Power and torque stand at the same 8.4hp and 10.2Nm, but the company claims a small increase in fuel efficiency.
Visually, the Access 125 gets a small makeover while still retaining the conservative, family-scooter design. The headlight is different, and there’s a new signature DRL in the apron. The bodywork has been revised along the sides, and the rear gets a new three-piece tail-lamp. Another change is that the external fuel filler cap, which can now be opened via the multi-function key slot, is now hidden behind a lockable flap in the bodywork above the brake lamp.
While the earlier Access had a single front pocket in the apron, the latest one gets two. Other features include a hazard light switch and a brake lock clasp.
The Suzuki Access 125 is currently listed in three variants on the company’s website, with the Standard Edition (drum brake) costing Rs 81,700, the Special Edition (disc brake) commanding Rs 88,200, and the top Ride Connect Edition priced at Rs 93,300.
