TVS Zest 110
A capable enough city scooter that newer rivals have quietly outpaced
In short
The Zest 110 is TVS's compact 110cc scooter, running a 109.7cc engine for a claimed 45kmpl, priced from ₹70,560. It's aimed at buyers who want a simple, easy-to-ride scooter for city use, though the 10-inch wheels, drum brakes and modest mileage put it behind newer rivals like the Jupiter 110 and Honda Dio.

Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
The Zest 110 is sold in 3 variants, from ₹70,560 for the Gloss to ₹77,058 for the SXC, ex-showroom Delhi.
That makes it priced 4th lowest among the 26 petrol scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Pleasure + (₹188 less) and the Dio (₹4,260 more).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹82,400 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.
| Variant | Ex-showroom | Rough EMI |
|---|---|---|
Gloss | ₹70,560 | |
Matte | ₹73,713 | |
SXC | ₹77,058 |
Mileage
Zest 110's claimed mileage is 45 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 42–47 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.
Among the 25 scooters we have reviewed it ranks 21th for mileage, 4 kmpl below the group average of 49 kmpl.
Engine and ride
The 110cc air-cooled engine makes 7.71 bhp and 8.8 Nm through a CVT automatic. With a kerb weight of 103 kg that is 75 bhp per tonne, 19th best power-to-weight of the 25 scooters in this class we have reviewed.
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 760 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 Zest 110 was a solid city scooter when launched, and it still covers the basics, under-seat storage, USB charging, LED lighting, at a starting price of ₹70,560. What's changed is the competition: newer 110cc rivals like the Jupiter 110 and Destini 110 now claim noticeably better mileage from similar or lower prices, which makes the Zest's case harder to make today.
Riding it every day
At 103kg and with a low 760mm seat height, the Zest 110 is easy to manage for shorter riders and in slow traffic. The 10-inch wheels keep the scooter compact but can feel slightly less composed over rough patches or monsoon-flooded roads than the 12-inch wheels many newer rivals use. Under-seat storage is a genuine convenience for daily errands and small shopping trips.
What to know before buying
The claimed 45kmpl and real-world band of 42-47kmpl in the brief put it behind most nearby-priced rivals in this batch, including TVS's own Jupiter 110, so it's worth comparing running costs directly. The 5-year, 50,000km warranty is a genuine strength, longer than what most rivals offer, and worth factoring into long-term ownership even if the mileage number is unremarkable.
Who should buy it
This suits a buyer prioritising a low seat height and simple ownership over class-leading mileage, particularly shorter riders or those buying a second scooter for the household. Anyone chasing the best mileage or ride quality in this price band should look closely at the Jupiter 110 or Honda Dio first.
Features and colours
- Tubeless tyres
- Side-stand engine cut-off
- Hazard lamps
- LED daytime running lamp
- LED tail lamp
- USB charging port
- Under-seat storage
On safety kit the Zest 110 has tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps.
Against Pleasure +, Pleasure + Xtec or Dio, it gets side-stand engine cut-off, led daytime running lamp and led tail lamp that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: idle start-stop, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.
It is offered in 8 colours: Pearl White, Turquoise Blue, Matte Red, Purple, Matte Black, Matte Blue, Bold Black and Graphite Grey. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 5 years or 50,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 3,000 km.
TVS runs a sizeable sales and service network in India, at roughly 4,500 touchpoints. Spares and a mechanic who knows the model are rarely far away.
The Zest 110 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.

- Zest 110 or Pleasure +: which is better?
- The Pleasure + is ₹188 less expensive to start and more efficient at 50 kmpl against 45 kmpl. Pick the Zest 110 for city-only commuting, the Pleasure + for first scooter. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.

- Among the 26 scooters we have reviewed, the Pleasure + (₹70,372), the XL 100 Heavy Duty (₹47,918), the XL 100 (₹60,360) start lower.
- Is the Zest 110's 10-inch wheel size a real disadvantage on Indian roads?
- Smaller wheels typically feel less planted over potholes and broken tarmac compared with the 12-inch wheels common on newer scooters, though they're not unsafe at normal city speeds. Riders who frequently cross rough patches may notice the difference more than those on smoother roads.
- Can the Zest 110 handle a two-up ride to the highway?
- It's better suited to city and short-distance riding; the 7.71bhp output and compact scooter platform aren't built for sustained highway speeds with a pillion. Expect adequate but unremarkable performance rather than confident highway cruising.
