In 2025, the Hero Splendor Plus continues to be India’s most favoured commuter Icon-this time around with new graphics, smart tech and better mileage. While retaining its quintessential Vespa styling this time though, it gets a modern touch to cater today’s commuter demands with a price range of ₹78,900 and soaring high near ₹86,000 (ex-showroom).
Subtle Redesign with Practical Focus
Visuals have also been infused in the shape of body graphics, chrome trims and dual-tone color themes for the 2025 update for the Splendor. Additionally, blacked-out alloy wheels and LED DRLs have been added to select XTEC variants for a sleeker, more modern appearance. Design changes, like the reprofiled grab rail and revised pillion seat layout, keep its classic looks intact but make it more practical.
Better fuel efficiency & emission compliant
The Splendor is now BS6-complaint and has been upgraded to meet the new emission standards with the OBD-2B feature on its refined 97.2cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that puts out 7.9PS and 8.05Nm. The bike still comes matched to a 4-speed gearbox and provides quoted mileage is of as much as 85km/l, real-world numbers appear extra around the 70–75km/l mark.
Rider Features That Matter
Splendor 2025 is a combination of primary features and upgrades which are offered for performance:
- The i3S start-stop system help saves fuel when you have to halt at a traffic junction.
- Easy Drive makes life simplerCombined Braking System (CBS) across variants for safety
- The higher XTEC trims feature a semi-digital console with Bluetooth, call/SMS alerts, and USB charging.
- Now exchange tyre tubeless and alloy wheels on all versions
And such updates are a great way to deliver some modern convenience in a budget-friendly package.
Beauty & Practicality for the Daily Grind
Core to its appeal as a commuter, the Splendor is light (~112kg) and easy to manage. So even for normal city riding the suspension system is very good (Dual rear shocks and Telescopic at front). The upright riding position, cushy saddle and light handling mean it’s a great all-day workhorse as well.
What Real Owners Say
The physical condition of car is always a concern and so is the mileage as well:
It is also convenient for day to day use, courtesy of the lightweight.
“After thousands of kilometers I have seen little trouble–whole service network, ease of ownership.
However, a handful of minor issues have been reported by some users:
“My Splendor Plus XTEC 2.0 demanded a new battery at an early stage while the build quality could wobble on occasion, but mileage stood as excellent.”
Final Verdict
The Hero Splendor Plus 2025 remains a default selection in the commuter motorcycle space, as always. The bike offers good fuel efficiency, low maintenance costs, a reliable service network and some basic tech upgrades including i3S and digital display panel to cater to the buyers who do not look for a fancy commuter in their daily use. It’s not a driver’s car or a style leader, but it knows how to deliver where nothing else really matters–price, longevity and gas mileage.
