Suzuki Access
The Suzuki Access 125 is a practical, easy-to-ride scooter that has been one of India's best-selling scooters for years, sold across six variants and built around a single 124cc engine paired with a CVT automatic transmission. Its rounded apron holds a simple headlamp unit, a digi-analogue or fully digital display depending on variant, chrome mirrors and a colour TFT screen on higher trims, plus a wide, flat floorboard for easy footing.
In Autocar India's road test, the Access's biggest strength is its smooth, refined engine, so refined that even at 90kph there's no buzz through the floorboard or handlebar. The same test recorded underseat storage growing to 24.4 litres, up from 21.8 litres previously. It also flags a clear weak point: the 10-inch rear wheel, which compromises stability at higher speeds and while cornering. Even so, the reviewer calls it a strong choice for easy, dependable everyday riding.
Who should buy the Access?
Reviews and specifications point to a few buyer types this scooter suits best.
Buyer type | Why it fits |
Automatic Seeker | The CVT automatic transmission means no gear changes, just twist and go, and Autocar India's comparison test calls the engine "one of the smoothest, most punchy engines in the business." |
First-Time Buyer | A low 773mm seat height and a light kerb weight of around 105kg make the Access easy to handle, and Autocar India's road test found the engine "so smooth" that there's no buzz through the handlebar even at 90kph. |
Mileage Buyer | ARAI-certified 46.95kpl and real-world figures of 45-52kpl keep running costs low, though Autocar India's road test notes the absence of start-stop technology limits how much fuel the engine actually saves at traffic lights. |
Family Buyer | Autocar India's comparison test praises the "roomy floorboard, and loads of space on the seat as well as underneath it," though the road test found the new front cubbies "rather narrow," too tight for a 1-litre bottle. |
Tech Buyer | The Ride Connect trims add a Bluetooth-linked display with turn-by-turn navigation, music control and call alerts, a genuine step up from the base variant's simpler display. |
Enthusiasts suit the Access least, since Autocar India's comparison test found it "feels unnervingly vague" when leaned over, and its road test flags the continued use of a 10-inch rear wheel as a weak point for stability at higher speeds and while cornering.

Suzuki Access reviews

Suzuki Access comparison
Suzuki Access Mileage
Suzuki Access 125 mileage is ARAI-certified at 46.95kpl. Autocar India's mileage page for the scooter shows most owners reporting between 45kpl and 52kpl in everyday use, with highway runs often reaching 48-52kpl, all from a 5.3-litre fuel tank that includes a 1-litre reserve.
Every variant uses the same engine and automatic transmission, so mileage depends more on riding style than which trim is chosen. Autocar India's road test notes the engine feels unstressed and fuel-efficient, though the lack of start-stop technology limits how much fuel it saves while idling in traffic. Autocar India's own user-reported data puts the average at 46.77kpl, making the Standard Edition Drum Brake Variant, with its lighter kerb weight, the pick for buyers chasing the lowest running costs.

Questions you may find useful
I am a 47-year-old male (5 ft 9 in, 85 kg) looking to buy a long-term, reliable, strong and powerful scooter. My daily city commute is about 15-20 km, and my budget is up to ₹1.5 lakh. I am currently considering the TVS Ntorq 150, TVS Jupiter 125, Suzuki Access 125 and Honda Activa 125. Are there any other scooters I should consider? Please advise.
The TVS Ntorq 150 is the most powerful scooter in your shortlist, and it will also be the most fun to ride. It is also the most feature-packed, with a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes and a host of other features. The TVS Jupiter 125 is a more practical option, with plush ride quality and a huge 33-litre underseat storage space. The Suzuki Access 125 is a family scooter with peppy performance that should be very reliable and fuel-efficient, too. The Honda Activa 125 doesn't have any one standout feature, but is a proven package you can't really go wrong with.Take a test ride of all four so you can pick the one that best suits your needs.
I want to buy a powerful bike like the Duke 390 or one of the Royal Enfield 650s, but I do not have the budget right now. For the time being, I want to buy a bike or scooter that is smooth and vibration-free, as smoothness is my only major criterion. I feel the Suzuki Access 125 is the right choice. Do you have any better alternatives for me? I plan to use this scooter or bike for 5-8 years and then upgrade to the bike I love after saving up.
In the scooter space, the Suzuki Access is a great option because it has a turbine smooth engine, has cemented its reputation for reliability and is quite practical and comfortable too. You can also take a look at the TVS Jupiter models, which have the biggest boot on an Indian-made petrol scooter, as well as great ride and stability with their 12-inch wheels at both ends.Lastly, you can also take a look at the Honda Activa models, which are a safe bet, and you can't go wrong with either of them.
I am planning to buy a 125cc scooter. I already own the new Suzuki Access. Should I go with the Honda Activa 125? What other scooters would you recommend? It will mostly be used within the city.
Since you already have a steadfast family scooter in the Suzuki Access 125, opting for another one of its ilk in the Honda Activa 125, which will give you more or less a very similar, if not identical, ownership experience, would be like going into a huge candy store and still opting to buy two of the same toffees when there's so much variety to be had.We'd recommend you change things up a little and opt for the TVS Ntorq 125. It is a fun, engaging, and sporty-feeling scooter, yet it does not compromise on practicality, comfort, or everyday convenience.
I want to buy an EV two-wheeler for my daughter after six months for local city usage in Chennai. She will turn 18 years old at that time. I have been using a Honda Unicorn for the past 10 years and am happy with it. I may also use the EV vehicle occasionally once I buy it. Can you suggest which EV vehicle or brand would be the best and most reliable? I have Ather, iQube, and Bajaj Chetak in mind, along with a few other EVs I have seen on the road but am not very familiar with. Or would you suggest going for a petrol vehicle instead? If an EV is not suitable, I am open to buying a petrol vehicle as well.
The options you have shortlisted in the EV space are a great place to start, and if you want a simple, no-nonsense EV, the TVS iQube is one of our top picks in the class. Depending on your daily use case, choose a variant with sufficient battery capacity, keeping some margin for spontaneity and emergencies. If you are still unsure about moving to an electric two-wheeler, in the ICE scooter space, options like the Honda Activa 110 / 125, TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 and Suzuki Access 125 are our top recommendations. These are easy to get on with, lightweight and frugal machines which are practical and reliable to own as well.
Hello, I'm planning to buy a scooter. Can you suggest the best petrol and electric scooter options with a stylish design, high mileage, and excellent suspension? Also, where should I buy it? I live in a district in Telangana. Should I buy it from Hyderabad or from my local area to get a better price?
In the petrol scooter space, the frontrunners are Honda Activa 110/125, TVS Jupiter 110/125 and Suzuki Access 125. All three are proven, comfortable, fuel-efficient and very practical, so whichever one you choose, you can't realistically go wrong. In the Electric scooter space, our top recommendations are TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Vida VX2 and Ather Rizta models. Again, these are proven and reliable machines from top-tier brands with good service reach across India, so pick the variant that suits your needs best. It would be prudent to wait a couple of months for the upcoming EL platform-based family electric scooter, which will give you the slick experience Ather scooters are known for but at a more digestible price. If you have secure charging at home, then an EV will help you save on your running costs greatly compared to an ICE scooter. Depending on your preference of powertrain, we'd recommend a test ride of the options recommended before you go ahead with your purchase to see which one suits your needs best.
