TVS’ bestseller, the Jupiter 110 scooter, has received its first comprehensive update since its launch eleven years ago. The 2024 model gets a new engine, more technology, fresh styling, and enhanced practicality. Prices start at Rs 73,700 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
The previous TVS Jupiter 110’s design was rather simple, but the 2024 version has gone in a whole new direction. It now features large LED DRLs at both the front and rear, with integrated turn signals. The body panels are much sharper, making this one of the sharpest designs in the 110cc family scooter category.
Much of the 2024 Jupiter 110’s design is derived from the Jupiter 125. The 5.1-litre fuel tank, now located under the floorboard, has a front apron opening for added convenience. Both Jupiter scooters now have the same cavernous 33-litre under-seat storage area, which can accommodate two half-face helmets. However, we were unable to fit an imported full-face helmet in the Jupiter 125 during our previous test.
The new 113cc engine is also derived from the Jupiter 125, delivering peak outputs of 8hp and 9.8Nm — an increase of just 0.1hp but a full 1Nm. This boost is also due to the addition of a segment-first ‘iGO Assist’ micro-hybrid technology. This system comprises a more powerful battery, recharged by the engine during deceleration, which powers an ancillary ISG motor to provide a little extra pep when needed.
The Jupiter 110 is the only one in the category to run on 12-inch wheels with 90/90-12 tyres at both ends. The top variants use a 220mm front disc, with all variants making do with a 130mm rear drum brake.
A new Bluetooth-compatible digital display is available on the higher variants, featuring turn-by-turn navigation, call and notification alerts, and voice assistance. The TVS SmartXconnect app offers a range of features that can be accessed by pairing the dash to your smartphone. The 2024 Jupiter 110 also gets start/stop technology, which should help boost fuel efficiency.
What is increasingly becoming the norm in the motorcycle world is the rapid flashing of indicators when you apply the brakes hard in an emergency situation, and this feature is now available on the TVS Jupiter 110. Additionally, the indicators will automatically turn off 100m or 20 seconds after a turn.
The 2024 TVS Jupiter 110 is available in four variants: Drum, Drum Alloy, Drum SmartXconnect, and Disc SmartXconnect. It comes in six colors across all variants. Starting prices have increased by just Rs 50, though we don’t have the full price list yet. We will update this story when we receive it. The only other 110cc scooters in this segment are the popular Honda Activa (Rs 76,684 - Rs 82,684) and the Hero Pleasure (Rs 74,663 - Rs 83,113). We have tested the new Jupiter 110, and our review will go live on Saturday, August 24, at noon, so stay tuned.
