TVS Ntorq 150 expert review
Autocar score
- The Ntorq 150 carries forward the distinctive Transformer-like front fascia with a quad-LED projector headlight setup that delivers exceptional illumination.
- Build quality is solid with premium materials throughout. The design is unapologetically sporty and youthful, featuring bold graphics and vibrant colour schemes aimed at younger buyers.
- The sharp TFT display from the Apache RTR 310 adds premium appeal with clear, legible graphics.
- The overall aesthetic is polarizing but distinctive in the segment.
- The riding position is upright and comfortable with a wide, well-cushioned seat set at 770mm height.
- The seat easily accommodates larger riders without feeling cramped and maintains comfort levels even with a pillion onboard, making it viable for regular two-up use.
- The 1285mm wheelbase provides stability, while ergonomics strike a good balance between sporty engagement and everyday practicality.
- The handlebar position and footboard layout suit both city commuting and spirited riding.
- The 149.7cc engine produces 13bhp and 14.2Nm torque, with TVS' iGo assist adding an extra 0.7Nm.
- Two riding modes offer distinct character: Street mode delivers Ntorq 125-like performance, while Race mode sharpens throttle response and power delivery noticeably.
- The engine is refined and responsive, making quick overtakes easy.
- Performance is impressive: 0-40kph in 2.68 seconds, 0-60kph in 5.41 seconds, and 0-80kph in 10.12 seconds.
- Top speed is approximately 109kph indicated. The Ntorq 150 outperforms air-cooled rivals like the Aprilia SR 175, being over a second quicker in the 0-80kph sprint.
- Fuel efficiency is respectable when ridden gently in the city and kept below 70kph on highways, though aggressive riding drops consumption dramatically.
Unlike rivals with stiff, 14-inch wheel setups, the Ntorq 150 sticks to 12-inch wheels with a suspension tuned for the middle ground between sportiness and comfort.
The suspension isn't plush but doesn't crash or thud over broken roads, offering enough compliance for comfortable daily use.
At speed, the scooter feels stable up to 80-85kph. Closer to top speed, bumps can momentarily unsettle it, where 14-inch wheels offer advantage.
Handling is engaging and predictable, very much like the Ntorq 125.
When cornering hard, you miss the planted feel of larger wheels, but the scooter remains confidence-inspiring.
The suspension setup makes it far easier to live with daily than firmer rivals.
Display: Premium TFT screen from Apache RTR 310 with sharp graphics (missing range/fuel economy data)
Lighting: Quad-LED projector headlights – exceptional performance, among India's best scooter lights
Technology: Two riding modes (Street and Race), iGo assist system
Braking: Single-channel ABS with excellent braking performance and tyre grip; ABS intervention well-calibrated
Practicality: 22-litre underseat storage (half-face helmet only), angled front cubby
- The TVS Ntorq 150 stands out as the most complete offering in the sporty 150cc scooter segment, successfully balancing performance, comfort, and everyday usability at an unbeatable price of ₹1.09 lakh.
- While the 12-inch wheels might seem like a disadvantage on paper, they actually help strike the perfect balance between sporty handling and daily comfort that's far easier to live with than stiffer, 14-inch-wheeled rivals on broken Indian roads.
- The genuinely impressive performance (especially in Race mode), exceptional quad-LED headlight, comfortable seat for both solo and two-up riding, and respectable fuel efficiency when ridden sensibly make minor compromises like loud colours and limited storage seem insignificant.
- With its blend of fun, practicality, features, and value for money that significantly undercuts all rivals, the Ntorq 150 could genuinely be the only scooter many buyers need.
