Suzuki to get a new entry-level scooter for rural markets

Suzuki just like Honda will be introducing a new entry-level scooter for the Indian rural markets. As the demand for scooters is on the rise, Suzuki will be getting their new scooter, so that the rural market buyers will shift from mopeds to buying these affordable scooters.

As per one of our sources, Suzuki has commenced work on this scooter but it won’t be made available anytime before the 2016 Auto Expo. The new scooter from Suzuki will have 14-inch tyres at least and will be something between a moped and scooter, however it will have an engine of a scooter and light bodyweight of moped.

Suzuki will be getting the new Address for urban users and this new scooter for rural buyers.

The engine for this entry-level scooter will be a 100-110cc engine, which will be less powerful than the existing 110cc Suzuki scooters. The dry weight of the scooter will be about 95 kilograms and it will have about 3.5 litres of fuel tank. The pricing will be key and Suzuki will try to price it at about INR 40,000-45,000 on the road pricing. This will be a sweet spot and Honda too is trying to get into this market with the Cub, its new entry-level 100cc scooter for India.
