The TVS Motor Company has just launched the BS6 Scooty Zest 110, with prices starting at Rs 58,460 (ex-showroom Chennai). At this price point, the BS6 Zest 110 is just over Rs 6,000 more expensive than its BS4 predecessor.
The BS6 Scooty Zest 110 is powered by a 110cc engine that’s equipped with the same ET-Fi (Ecothrust Fuel injection) technology that we've seen in the BS6-compliant Jupiter Classic. Peak power and torque figures are 7.8hp and 8.8Nm, respectively. For reference, the BS4-spec engine produced marginally more power, at 8hp, and less torque, at 8.4Nm.
Apart from the updated engine, the Zest 110 remains largely unchanged. Equipment like the LED DRL and underseat USB charger have been carried forward from the older model. Components like the chassis, suspension and tyres are identical as well.
The new Zest 110 is available in two variants – Himalayan High Series and Matte Series – and in a total of six colour schemes.
