Yamaha FZ X Hybrid launched: how different is it to the standard FZ X?
FZ X hybrid comes with a colour TFT display and an ISG.
The Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid packs in the same upgrades over the standard version as the FZ-S Hybrid does over its regular model. That means you get an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) enabling silent start and start/stop tech. The FZ-X Hybrid also gets the same 4.2-inch colour TFT display with revised switchgear to control all the added functions of the dash, just like the one seen on the FZ-S Hybrid.
Powering the Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid is the same 149cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled mill as the rest of the FZ models, and it makes the same 12.4hp and 13.3Nm as before, and comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
What community is saying on the FZ-X?
The hybrid system on Yamaha’s 150cc commuters is geared towards aiding fuel efficiency and not boosting performance, which is why the peak outputs stay the same as the non-hybrid versions. The design and key specifications of the FZ-X Hybrid are exactly the same as the regular FZ-X, except for the weight. The hybrid variant weighs 141kg, 2kg more than the standard version.
Yamaha FZ X price and colour
Available in a single shade of matte green with golden wheels, which Yamaha calls Matte Titan, the Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid costs Rs 1.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), making it Rs 20,000 more expensive than the standard FZ-X and Rs 5,000 dearer than the FZ-S Hybrid.
