India Finally Gets a Scooter That Growls

So yeah, the Aprilia SR 175 has officially landed in India – and it’s not here to play nice. No more pretending scooters are just cute city runabouts. This one comes in loud, proud and packing 13.08 bhp at 7,200 rpm with 14.14 Nm torque at 6,000 rpm. That’s right it’s got more muscle than most scooters even dream of having.

You know those scooters that look fast but wheeze at 60? This ain’t one of them.

What’s New with the Aprilia SR 175?

Let’s start with the obvious: the engine. Aprilia has upped its game with this 175cc single-cylinder unit. It’s air-cooled but tuned for performance – so no, it’s not just “another engine bump”. This one’s built for proper grunt.

Other cool bits:

• A 5.5-inch color TFT dash (finally something worthy of 2025)
• Bluetooth connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation (no more asking strangers for directions)
• Two new colors that scream premium: Matte Prismatic Dark and Glossy Tech White
• Priced at ₹1.26 lakh (ex-showroom), going up to ₹1.33 lakh for the top variant

Basically Aprilia gave it the features we’ve been begging for – and we didn’t even have to shout.

And Yes, It Has Rivals

If you’re wondering where this fits, it’s aiming directly at the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160 – but with a little more flair and arguably more presence. Think of it as the scooter that would show up to a group ride in designer shades and just… take over the whole vibe.
