The TVS Jupiter CNG 2025 is that trailblazing scooter that’s rewriting the rules for urban commuting in India, introducing the world’s first factory-fitted CNG-powered two-wheeler for riders tired of skyrocketing fuel bills and emissions. Priced between Rs. 90,000 and Rs. 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s a game-changer for daily commuters, cab drivers, and eco-aware families who want dual-fuel flexibility, massive range, and TVS’s trusted build quality. It challenges the Honda Activa 6G, Suzuki Access 125, and TVS Jupiter petrol, delivering a 124.8cc hybrid CNG-petrol engine, Bluetooth smarts, and up to 330 km combined range to slash costs to Rs. 1/km. This review details its price, specifications, features, and performance.
Compact and Contemporary Design
The Jupiter CNG 2025 mirrors the Jupiter 125’s practical, family-oriented shape with a retro front apron, LED headlamp, and halogen indicators for a clean, approachable vibe. It’s scooter-sized at 1848 mm long, 680 mm wide, and 1286 mm high, with a steel frame weighing 120 kg for easy handling. With 150 mm ground clearance, it navigates speed breakers effortlessly, and tubeless tires on 12-inch wheels ensure grip. Available in shades like Ivory Brown, Ivory Grey, or Matte Black, it features a long seat with under-seat storage for a helmet—the dual fuel tanks (5L petrol + 1.4kg CNG cylinder) make it versatile for India’s fuel landscape, ideal for tight parking and daily dashes.
Clear Display
The digital-analogue instrument cluster is no-fuss, displaying speed, fuel/CNG levels, odometer, and trip info on a clear LCD, with Bluetooth via the TVS Connect app for call/SMS alerts, navigation, and real-time efficiency tracking. Handlebar switches are simple for lights and horn, with a USB port for charging—it’s straightforward without overwhelming tech, perfect for focusing on the road in busy commutes, though base models skip Bluetooth for basics.
Efficient Performance
Powered by a 124.8cc air-cooled single-cylinder ETFi engine (7.1 bhp at 6500 rpm, 9.4 Nm at 5000 rpm) in dual-fuel CNG-petrol mode, it uses a CVT automatic and front-wheel drive for smooth urban acceleration. It claims 84 km/kg on CNG or 65 km/l on petrol—real-world 70-80 km/kg in city runs, with a top speed of 90 km/h and 0-40 km/h in about 5 seconds. The combined range hits 330 km (5L petrol + 1.4kg CNG), and the suspension (telescopic front, twin shocks rear) keeps it stable on bumps—feels refined and vibration-free, great for loaded family rides without the petrol thirst.
Advanced Safety System
Safety includes combined braking system (CBS) on drum brakes (130 mm front/rear) for balanced stops, plus LED tail light for visibility—no ABS to stay affordable, but an engine cut-off switch adds peace of mind. The steel frame handles wet roads or sudden swerves well—basic but effective for urban confidence, with a digital lock and pillion grab rail for extra security without fancy extras.
Long-Lasting Fuel System
The dual-fuel system (5L petrol + 1.4kg CNG tank) stretches 330 km combined, enough for 1-2 days of city commuting without drama. CNG refueling’s quick at stations (under 2 minutes), petrol even faster, and running costs? A ridiculous Rs. 0.5-1/km on CNG—silent operation lets you ride without engine buzz, perfect for quiet neighborhoods or long errands.
Connectivity and Features
LED headlamp cuts through fog, with Bluetooth app integration for nav, music control, and service alerts—higher trims add a USB charger and external fuel lid for ease. The iGO Assist tech boosts pickup, with a long seat and large leg space for comfort—no full audio, but it pairs with earbuds for tunes. Extras like alloy wheels and follow-me headlamps keep it practical, loaded just enough for family life without fluff.
Pricing and Availability
Priced at Rs. 90,000 for the base to Rs. 1.10 lakh for the top variant (ex-showroom), on-road in Delhi hits Rs. 1.00-1.25 lakh with RTO (Rs. 5,000-8,000) and insurance (Rs. 3,000-5,000). Unveiled at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, launching October 2025 with festive deals like Rs. 5,000-10,000 off or low EMI. Maintenance is Rs. 1,500-3,000/year, backed by a 5-year/unlimited km warranty. Wait times: 15-30 days at TVS dealers.
User Feedback and Drawbacks
Early buzz loves the dual-fuel flexibility, crazy efficiency, and low costs—the 150 mm clearance owns bad roads, and 84 km/kg CNG saves big for cab drivers. That Bluetooth and CBS get thumbs up for smarts. But limited storage, moderate power for highways, and CNG station access irk some—plus, no fast charging or advanced safety.
Comparison with Competitors
In the Rs. 90k-1.1 lakh scooter segment, the Jupiter CNG crushes the Activa 6G on efficiency but trails the Access 125 in refinement. It matches the Jupiter petrol’s space, with TVS’s service net and eco-edge giving it the win for green commuters.
Speculative Notes
Unveiled January 2025 at Bharat Mobility Expo, launching October 2025, priced Rs. 90,000-1.10 lakh, with 124.8cc dual-fuel and 84 km/kg CNG. Confirm with dealers for colors and offers.
Final Thoughts
The TVS Jupiter CNG 2025, with its 1848 mm frame, efficient 124.8cc dual-fuel engine, and family-friendly soul at Rs. 90,000-1.10 lakh, is the scooter that’s pioneering green commuting in India. It’s not a speed demon or feature beast, but that mileage, flexibility, and TVS trust make it a winner. With widespread support, it’s ready to roll clean.
