In short

The Star City Plus is TVS's mid-tier 110cc commuter, offering a digital console and 70kmpl claimed mileage from ₹72,026, with a disc-brake variant available for ₹75,564. It suits buyers who want a commuter that looks a step above entry-level without paying 125cc money, though the drum-only base variant undercuts the case for the range.

Price and variants

Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.

Ex-showroom Delhi, the Star City Plus range runs from ₹72,026 (Drum) to ₹75,564 (Disc) across 2 variants.

That makes it priced 5th lowest among the 21 commuter bikes we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Platina 100 (₹988 less) and the Radeon (₹1,689 more).

On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹84,000 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.

Mileage

Star City Plus's claimed mileage is 70 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 65–73 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.

Among the 21 commuter bikes we have reviewed it ranks 6th for mileage, 5 kmpl above the group average of 65 kmpl.

Running cost per month and five-year ownership estimate

Engine and ride

Power comes from a 110cc single producing 8.08 bhp and 8.7 Nm, paired with a 4 Speed. At 115 kg the power-to-weight figure is 70 bhp per tonne, which ranks 18 of 21 in its class here.

The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.

Seat height is a low 785 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 Star City Plus positions itself between TVS's bare-bones Sport and the more feature-rich Radeon, adding a digital console and LED headlamp for a modest premium starting at ₹72,026. The Disc variant at ₹75,564 is the one worth having, since the Drum-only base model undercuts the value proposition that the rest of the bike builds.

Riding it every day

At 115kg the Star City Plus handles predictably in traffic, and its 785mm seat height and 172mm ground clearance are unremarkable but sensible for typical Indian roads and speed breakers. The five-step adjustable rear shock is a small but useful touch for tuning comfort to load, whether you're riding solo or two-up on the daily commute.

What to know before buying

The claimed 70kmpl and real-world band of 65-73kmpl in the brief put it roughly on par with rivals like the Bajaj CT 110 and Platina 110, so mileage alone won't be the deciding factor against them. What tips it is the digital console and disc option, worth comparing directly against the Radeon, which skips the disc brake entirely but adds idle start-stop instead.

Who should buy it

This suits a buyer who wants a slightly more modern-looking commuter than the entry-level Sport, and who's willing to pick the Disc variant for genuine safety benefit. Buyers focused purely on mileage or the lowest price should look at the Sport or Platina 100 instead.

Features and colours

  • Tubeless tyres
  • Alloy wheels
  • Side-stand engine cut-off
  • Hazard lamps
  • LED headlamp
  • Digital console
  • USB charging port

On safety kit the Star City Plus has tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps.

Against Sport, Platina 100 or Shine 100, it gets tubeless tyres, led headlamp, digital console and usb charging port that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: led daytime running lamp and combi-brake (cbs), which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.

It is offered in 6 colours: Black Green (Drum), Black Red (Drum), Grey Black (Drum), Black Blue (Drum), Black Green (Disc) and Black Red (Disc). Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Warranty, service and ownership

Standard warranty is 5 years or 60,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 3,000 km.

Service reach is good: TVS has about 4,500 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country.

The Star City Plus nameplate has been on sale since 2014. That maturity shows up as a deep used market, plentiful spares and mechanics who have seen every fault, which keeps running costs and resale predictable.

Roughly ₹84,000 for the base variant in Delhi: ₹72,026 ex-showroom plus ₹5,762 road tax, ₹1,100 registration and about ₹5,151 insurance. This is an estimate; dealer quotes include handling and accessories.

Claimed mileage is 70 kmpl. Owners typically see 65–73 kmpl in mixed city and highway riding.
How much does the Star City Plus cost to run per month?
Fuel works out to about ₹1.37 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹1,072 a month before servicing.
What is the EMI for the Star City Plus?
With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹2,280 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
What is the engine capacity and power of the Star City Plus?
It uses a 110cc engine producing 8.08 bhp and 8.7 Nm, with a 4 speed.
Is the Star City Plus suitable for short riders?
Yes. Seat height is 785 mm, low for the class, so riders around 5'2" and above can reach the ground comfortably.
Star City Plus or Sport: which is better?
The Sport is ₹6,312 less expensive to start and more efficient at 80 kmpl against 70 kmpl. Pick the Star City Plus for buyers who want a digital console, the Sport for absolute lowest running cost. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.

Among the 21 commuter bikes we have reviewed, the HF Deluxe (₹58,688), the Platina 100 (₹71,038), the Sport (₹65,714) start lower.
Is the Disc variant of the Star City Plus worth the extra money over the Drum variant?
For most riders, yes, since front disc brakes typically cut stopping distance meaningfully, especially in wet weather or emergency braking. The roughly ₹3,500 difference is small relative to the safety margin it buys.
Does the Star City Plus's digital console need special care or a phone connection?
No, the digital console is a standalone instrument cluster rather than a connected Bluetooth unit, so it works without pairing to a phone. It simply displays speed, mileage and other basics more clearly than a traditional analogue dial.
