The 125cc scooter market in India is booming, and TVS has made a big impact with the TVS Jupiter 125. Known as “India’s family scooter,” the Jupiter has always been loved for its comfort. But with the 125cc version, TVS solved some of the biggest problems Indian riders face: storage space and fueling convenience.

Recently, TVS updated the lineup with a new DT SXC (Dual-Tone SmartXonnect) variant. This model sits between the standard Disc version and the top-end SmartXonnect model, giving riders high-tech features at a better price.

If you are planning to buy a new scooter in 2026 for daily office commutes or family use, here is everything you need to know about the TVS Jupiter 125—from its real-world mileage to its unique features.

What is New? (The DT SXC Variant)

TVS recently launched the DT SXC variant. This stands for “Dual-Tone SmartXonnect.” Before this, if you wanted Bluetooth features, you had to buy the most expensive model. Now, you can get these smart features for a slightly lower price.

Key updates in this new variant include:

• New Colors: It comes in stylish “Ivory Brown” and “Ivory Grey” dual-tone shades.
• Digital Display: It gets a fully digital LCD screen (unlike the semi-digital meter in lower models).
• Connected Tech: It supports Bluetooth connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, and SMS notifications.
• iGo Assist: This is a “micro-hybrid” feature that helps in silent starting and gives a slight power boost while overtaking in city traffic.

Top Features: Why It is Different

The TVS Jupiter 125 is not just about a bigger engine. It has two “segment-first” features that make it very practical for Indian families.

1. Huge Under-Seat Storage (33 Litres)

This is the biggest selling point. TVS moved the fuel tank from the back to the floorboard. Because of this, the space under the seat is massive.

• Capacity: 33 Litres.
• Real Benefit: You can fit two full-face helmets inside. Most scooters like the Honda Activa or Suzuki Access can only fit one. If you go grocery shopping, you can easily carry two large bags inside the “dikki.”

2. Front Fuel Filler

You do not need to get off the scooter at the petrol pump. The fuel cap is placed on the front left side, near your knee. You can open it using the main key slot. This is very convenient for quick refills during rush hour.

3. Longest Seat in Segment

The seat is 790mm long, which is great for families. It provides enough space for the rider and a pillion (passenger) to sit comfortably without feeling cramped.

Engine Performance and Mileage

The Jupiter 125 is designed for city comfort, not racing. The engine is smooth and refined.

• Engine: 124.8cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled.
• Power: ~8.04 BHP.
• Torque: 10.5 Nm.
• Ride Quality: The suspension is soft and absorbs bumps and potholes very well. The gas-charged rear shocker (MIG) can be adjusted for load.

What is the Real Mileage?

While the company claims higher figures (around 57 kmpl), the real-world mileage in Indian city traffic conditions is usually between 48 kmpl to 52 kmpl. If you ride smoothly with the “Eco” light on, you can get better fuel efficiency. The iGo Assist (start-stop system) also helps save petrol by turning off the engine at red lights.

TVS Jupiter 125 Price List (2026)

Prices vary slightly by state (ex-showroom). Below is the estimated pricing structure for the current models available in showrooms.

Note: On-road prices will be higher as they include RTO registration and Insurance.

Comparison: Jupiter 125 vs. Competition

How does it stand against the market leaders?

• Vs. Honda Activa 125: The Activa is known for its metal body and high resale value. However, the Jupiter 125 beats it in storage space and suspension comfort. The Activa feels a bit more solid, but the Jupiter is more practical.
• Vs. Suzuki Access 125: The Access is peppier and faster. If you want a fun-to-ride scooter, pick the Access. If you want a scooter for family duties, groceries, and comfort, the Jupiter 125 is the winner.
