TVS Motor Company has introduced the new Jupiter
Grande with Bluetooth-enabled instrument console for the Indian market. The
updated Jupiter Grande includes a front disc brake as standard and is priced at
INR 62,346*.
The new TVS Jupiter
Grande gets the company’s SmartXConnect Bluetooth system that is already seen
on the TVS Ntorq 125. The system works with a smartphone app (Android and iOS)
and offers features like call and text notifications, over speeding alert,
helmet reminder and auto-reply SMS. However, unlike on the Ntorq 125, the
console on the Jupiter Grande misses the turn-by-turn navigation function. The
smartphone app also records the ride data.
Apart from the
additional Bluetooth-enabled console, the upcoming Jupiter Grande also gets a
new Tech Blue (glossy) paint scheme and diamond-cut alloy wheels. The seat
comes with a brown cover and a cross-stitch design while the footboard gets a
beige colour. Chrome highlights on the front fender, rearview mirror housing,
LED headlight and instrument console give a premium touch to the scooter. Other
mechanical and hardware specifications remain unchanged.
The new scooter is
powered by the familiar BS-IV 109.7 cc air-cooled OHC engine that delivers 8 PS
of peak power at 7,500 rpm and 8.4 Nm of max torque at 5,500 rpm. Braking
department comprises 130 mm drum brakes on both wheels, while a front disc is
available as an option. The safety net includes the Sync Brake System (TVS’s
tag for the combi-braking system) as standard fitment. Shock absorption tasks
are handled by telescopic forks at the front and an adjustable spring at the
back.
The upcoming TVS
Jupiter Grande is the first 110 cc scooter in the Indian market to feature a
Bluetooth-enabled instrument console. The addition of the feature will
definitely catch the attention of potential buyers. In other recent updates,
TVS launched the Special Edition StaR City+ that comes with a dual-tone paint
scheme, stylish graphics and a dual-tone seat among other upgrades.
