If you have been waiting for the right time to buy the Suzuki Avenis, this might be it. Suzuki has launched the 2025 Avenis 125 with some nice updates that make it even more appealing without increasing the price. The best part? You get more for your money.
What’s New for 2025?
The biggest change under the hood is the new OBD-2B compliant engine. Now, before your eyes glaze over at the technical jargon, here’s what this means for you: cleaner emissions and future-ready compliance. Suzuki has essentially made sure your scooter won’t become outdated when stricter emission norms kick in.
But the updates don’t stop there. The 2025 Avenis now comes in some fresh color combinations that look pretty cool. You have options like Glossy Sparkle Black with Pearl Mira Red for those who like a bit of flair, or the understated Champion Yellow with Glossy Sparkle Black combo. There’s even a Special Edition in Metallic Matte Black with Matte Titanium Silver that looks premium.
Three Variants to Choose From
Suzuki has kept it simple with three clear variants:
- Standard Variant at Rs 91,400 – The most affordable option with all the essentials
- Ride Connect Variant at Rs 93,200 – Adds Bluetooth connectivity for navigation and smartphone integration
- Special Edition at Rs 94,000 – Premium colors with all the bells and whistles
The pricing strategy here is smart. The Standard variant gives you everything you need for daily commuting, while the Ride Connect version adds modern connectivity features that younger riders will love. The price jump between variants is reasonable enough that you won’t feel like you’re being forced to upgrade unnecessarily.
Performance That Works
The 124.3cc engine remains the Avenis’s heart, churning out 8.58 bhp and 10 Nm of torque. These numbers won’t get your heart racing but are good enough for city commuting and weekend rides. The engine is refined so you won’t feel excessive vibrations on longer rides.
What’s impressive is the claimed mileage of 49.6 kmpl. Owners report real world figures of 42-47 kmpl in city and 54-62 kmpl on highways. For a 125cc scooter with sporty intentions, that’s actually good mileage.
Features That Actually Matter
The Avenis doesn’t bombard you with features but what it has is useful. The fully digital instrument cluster gives you all the info you need – battery voltage, oil change alerts, real time fuel consumption. The LED lighting is modern and better than halogen.
The under seat storage of 21.8 litres is enough for a full face helmet and some extras. The external fuel cap is one of those small conveniences you’ll appreciate every time you refuel. No more fumbling with the seat to fill up fuel.
If you opt for the Ride Connect variant, the Bluetooth connectivity gives you turn by turn navigation which is handy for exploring new routes or navigating through traffic in unfamiliar areas.

Who Should Buy the 2025 Avenis?
The Avenis makes sense if you want a scooter that looks sportier than your average commuter but doesn’t sacrifice practicality. It’s perfect for college students, young professionals or anyone who wants their daily ride to have some personality.
The scooter is good for city commuting with its comfortable riding position and decent storage. It can handle highway speeds when needed but it’s clearly more at home in city streets and traffic.

The Reality Check
While the Avenis looks sporty don’t expect track ready performance. The acceleration is adequate not exciting. Some riders also feel the braking could be sharper though the Combined Brake System does its job safely.
The 10 inch rear wheel might make some riders nervous about high speed stability compared to competitors with larger wheels. But for typical city and suburban riding this isn’t a concern.
Bottom Line
The 2025 Suzuki Avenis 125 is evolutionary not revolutionary. Suzuki has addressed the important bits like emission compliance and added some nice to have features without hiking the price. At Rs 91,400 for the base variant it’s a good value in the 125cc segment.
If you want a scooter that combines daily commuting with some style the updated Avenis is worth a look. It may not be the most exciting in its class but it’s a well rounded package that gets the basics right and is current with modern requirements.
