Whether you live in a cosmopolitan city, a small town or a sleepy hill station, you’ll be used to seeing humans whizzing along the pavement on scooters. It was only a matter of time before these trusty steeds became smarter, just like all other gadgets in our lives. Enter the TVS Jupiter ZX.
TVS Motor Company has added a new variant to its Jupiter lineup, and it comes with smarts like the SmartXonnect platform, along with voice assist support. Bluetooth connectivity lets you connect an Android or iOS smartphone via the TVS Connect mobile app.
The voice assist feature also lets you give commands to the scooter via the app through a wired or wireless headphone. The scooter’s response to your commands is seen via the fully-digital console. Speaking of which, you can also see navigation assistance and SMS or call alerts on this digital screen.
While the overall design remains the same, the smart Jupiter ZX differs from the standard variant in its dual-tone colour scheme and silver oak panels. Its 110cc engine produces 5.8 kW of power, and a peak torque output of 8.8Nm at 5,500 rpm.
The TVS Jupiter ZX with SmartXonnect tech is priced at ₹80,973 (ex-showroom, Delhi), and is available in two colours – Matte Black and Copper Brown.
