Suzuki Avenis 125
The disc-braked, sporty-looking 125 for buyers who want more polish
In short
The Avenis 125 is Suzuki's sportier take on the 125cc scooter, built for riders who want a front disc and alloy wheels without stepping up to a bigger engine. It costs from ₹93,011, uses a 124.3cc engine making 8.58bhp, returns a real-world 47-50kmpl, and gives up outright value against the cheaper, more powerful Xoom 125.

Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
Ex-showroom Delhi, the Avenis 125 range runs from ₹93,011 (Standard) to ₹93,916 (Special Edition) across 2 variants.
That makes it priced 20th lowest among the 26 petrol scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Activa 125 (₹205 less) and the Dio 125 (₹1,245 more).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹1.07 Lakh for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.

Standard | ₹93,011 | |
Special Edition | ₹93,916 |
Mileage
Avenis 125's claimed mileage is 49.6 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 47–50 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.
Among the 25 scooters we have reviewed it ranks 11th for mileage, right on the group average of 49 kmpl.
Engine and ride
Power comes from a 124cc single producing 8.58 bhp and 10 Nm, paired with a CVT automatic. At 106 kg the power-to-weight figure is 81 bhp per tonne, which ranks 8 of 25 in its class here.
Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.
Chassis hardware includes a combi-brake system, with a disc, 1 piston caliper up front and drum at the rear.
Seat height is a low 780 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Avenis 125 is Suzuki's answer to buyers who want their 125cc scooter to look and stop like something sportier than the average commuter. Priced from ₹93,011, it undercuts nothing in this segment on paper, but the front disc brake, alloy wheels and full LED treatment are meant to justify sitting above the Ntorq 125 and Activa 125 on price.
Riding it every day
Power comes from a 124.3cc engine making 8.58bhp and 10Nm, enough for brisk city riding without feeling quick, and Suzuki quotes 49.6kmpl with owners typically seeing 47-50kmpl in mixed traffic. The front disc brake bites with more confidence than a drum-only rival in sudden braking, which matters in Indian traffic where autos and pedestrians appear without warning. At 106kg it is easy to flick around, and the 780mm seat height, a touch taller than most 125s, gives a slightly more commanding view of the road.
What to know before buying
The rear wheel still makes do with a drum, so buyers expecting a disc at both ends for this money will be disappointed, especially with Suzuki's own Burgman Street EX offering more kit a little further up the price ladder. The 5.2-litre tank is also on the smaller side, meaning more frequent fuel stops than some 125cc rivals.
Who should buy it
The Avenis suits riders who commute daily in city traffic and want their scooter to look sharper than the norm without moving to a 150cc machine. Buyers focused purely on running costs or outright mileage would typically get better value from the Xoom 125 or Ntorq 125, both of which undercut it on price.

On safety kit the Avenis 125 has combi-brake (cbs), front disc brake, tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. There is no ABS, which is legal at this engine size but worth knowing before a wet-weather ride.
Against Dio 125, Ntorq 125 or Activa 125, it gets engine kill switch that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: colour tft console, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.
It is offered in 6 colours: Metallic Matte Platinum Silver and Glass Sparkle Black, Glossy Sparkle Black, Glossy Sparkle Black Pearl Mira Red, Glossy Sparkle Black Pearl Glacier White, Champion Yellow No 2 Glossy Sparkle Black and Metallic Mat Black and Metallic Mat Titanium Silver. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 2 years or 24,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 4,000 km.
Service reach is the weak point: Suzuki has about 1,200 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.
On sale since 2021, the Avenis 125 is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.
