The source report further adds that the bookings for the scooters are open at select dealerships for a token amount of INR 2,000 and that the deliveries will start in the coming weeks.

While the BS-VI compliant scooters will not feature massive visual changes, the engine specifications will undergo a major upgrade. All scooters will feature a fuel injection as standard while the carburettor system will be scrapped. According to a report that was published last week, the BS-VI compliant Vespa SXL 150 will continue to use a 154.8 cc single-cylinder motor that will deliver 10.6 PS and 10.9 Nm - the exact same performance numbers as the outgoing BS-IV model. The fuel injection system should deliver a better economy.

Apart from updating its existing product portfolio, Piaggio India is reportedly preparing to launch two new products – a motorcycle and a scooter – at the 2020 Auto Expo in Delhi-NCR. The company recently unveiled the GPR 250 in China, and we could see the motorcycle arrive on our shores in 2020. The new scooter, on the other hand, will be pitched to the budget-conscious buyer in the market.
