What’s New in the Aprilia SR 175?

If a bold design and more muscle in a scooter sound like your vibe, the Aprilia SR 175 should be on your radar. Officially launched on July 15, 2025, this all new model replaces the outgoing SR 160 and steps up across the board – especially in performance, features and design updates.

With a sharp silhouette that still says “Aprilia”, the SR 175 comes in fresh colorways like Matte Prismatic Dark and Glossy Tech White, with more power and a premium instrument console.

More Power, Same Mean Looks

Tucked beneath the sharp body panels is a 174.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with a 3-valve setup. It delivers a strong 13.08 bhp at 7,200 rpm and 14.14 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm – making it one of the punchiest scooters in this category. The CVT transmission is simple twist-and-go for city traffic and open road cruising.

It’s a big jump from the SR 160’s numbers and you’ll feel the difference when overtaking or climbing flyovers.

Feature Packed and Daily Ready

Aprilia didn’t just focus on power – the tech updates are where this scooter really shines.

• A 5.5-inch full-colour TFT display in the cockpit inspired by the RS/Tuono 457.
• Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation and call alerts.
• Other daily rider goodies include full LED lighting, USB charging port and single-channel ABS for added braking confidence.

Chassis & Brakes: Built for the Real World

• 14-inch alloy wheels
• Telescopic front fork and monoshock rear
• 220mm front disc and rear drum setup

This combo means the SR 175 stays planted over bumps and handles tight corners with ease, whether you’re commuting or riding for fun.

Pricing and Rivals

Priced at ₹1.26 lakh (ex-showroom Maharashtra), the Aprilia SR 175 has slightly different prices across states – up to ₹1.33 lakh in states like Tripura.

Its closest rivals? The Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160, but Aprilia has the edge in terms of sportiness and engine power.
