TVS Jupiter: Scooters are important in daily commuting on two-wheelers in the fiercely competitive Indian market. From the plethora of choices that one has in the market today, the TVS Jupiter has managed to position itself as a no-nonsense, value-for-money offering that fits in nicely for most age brackets and users – right from the college kids to the old folks.
Since its inception, the Jupiter has been appreciated for its overall ride comfort, efficiency, and basic design. But with new rivals entering the market every year, how has the CBS equipped TVS Jupiter fared in 2025?
Let’s take a look at how it performs in the real world, the features it offers, and whether it continues to be a viable option.
TVS Jupiter Design & Style: Conservative, but Useful
TVS hasn’t attempted to gild the lily with the Jupiter’s design — and that’s a good thing, actually. With simple and concise lines, the scooter has pure style and is accepted by the mature ones since it enjoys a nice appearance with compact diameter and smooth appearance driving up popularity.
It has clean lines, a high handlebar-mounted headlamp and strong metal body panels all around. LED headlamp, chrome garnish on the mirrors and a neat rear grab rail are some of the modern touches.
The bike also is available in colors like Royal Wine, Pristine White and Midnight Black, from which riders can select as per their taste.
Engine and Performance: Silky Power and Economical
The TVS Jupiter comes with a 109.7cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine which belts out close to 7.8 bhp and 8.8 Nm of torque. It’s not designed for speed, but is well-suited to city commuting, short jaunts and daily errands.
The throttle here is polished and the scooter has decent low-end torque, which is imperative when riding in traffic. It’s always a cinch, even for the greenest riders, to operate the Jupiter with its CVT automatic transmission.
The engine is finely tuned for the best possible mileage and users can expect to return fuel efficiency figures between 55-62 kmpl, depending on how you ride and maintain your Suzuki GS150R.
Ride and Handling: Ageless Comfort and Finesse
Jupiter has one of the best suspension system as from the rest of the scooter. The whole ride quality is plush and able to swallow up road bumps effortlessly with telescopic forks at front and gas-charged monoshock at rear.
Stability is better than with smaller scooter wheels (although you will never escape the feeling of the handlebars jiggling a few inches below your hands), and the ride is still stable over uneven city roads.
Whether you have a passenger riding pillion or ride solo, the scooter says firmly planted in the right path.
The brakes (drum with Sync Braking Technology or disc) are effective and provide adequate stopping power at city speeds.
Features & Utility: More User Friendly Enhancements
TVS Jupiter comes with a host of features such as:
Fuel filler cap on top of tank for checking the level of the fuel quickly and conveniently from outside
Digital-anologue instrument cluster (higher models)
The front storage pocket includes USB port for charging capability inside the pocket.
and generous 21-litre under-seat storage.
Some also come with the silent start system, eco/power riding indicator, and mobile app connectivity. It may not be full of high end tech but simply concentrates on the things that matter for a daily rider.
Service and Maintenance: It Sells Itself
TVS also offers amongst the widest service network in India and service costs for the Jupiter are pocket friendly. Spare parts are widely available and regular servicing is cheap — all of which means that it is a hit with penny-pinching riders.

TVS Jupiter Outcome:
No Thoroughbred, But Since It Remains on Its Game Winner: Still the Old War Horse

If you are after a practical, no-nonsense, low-maintenance and fuss-free ride, the Jupiter remains one of the bests among the 110cc range.
So whether you are a first-time scooter rider, school commuter, or purchasing it as a gift for your family member, the Jupiter has always been the strongest of contenders.
