Aprilia has launched the SXR GT 125 and SXR GT 175 in India with special ex-showroom prices of ₹1,09,999 and ₹1,29,999, respectively, according to reports published on 5 Oct 2026. The two petrol maxi-scooters share the 14-inch-wheel touring format, but the 175 gets a more powerful engine, a TFT console and single-channel ABS while the 125 uses a simpler LCD and combined-braking package.
ET Auto and BikeDekho both attributed the announcement to Aprilia India in reports dated 5 Oct 2026. The price figures are reported launch prices for Maharashtra, not final on-road amounts for every state.
Key takeaways
- The Aprilia SXR GT 125 is reported at ₹1,09,999 ex-showroom Maharashtra, while the SXR GT 175 is reported at ₹1,29,999 on the same basis; both figures are dated 5 Oct 2026 and are reported by ET Auto and BikeDekho.
- The 175cc scooter is reported to make 13.3 PS and 14.14 N·m; the 125cc version makes 10.6 PS and 10.4 N·m, with the output figures matching the two launch reports.
- Both scooters get 14-inch alloy wheels and are positioned as urban-tourers. The 175 adds a 5-inch TFT console, connected functions and single-channel ABS; the 125 gets a 5-inch LCD and combined braking system (CBS).
- Autocar India’s earlier 1 Oct 2026 report quoted Delhi prices of ₹1.11 lakh and ₹1.31 lakh, so buyers need to compare the city, date and price basis before treating any quote as final.

ET Auto and BikeDekho reported on 5 Oct 2026 that Aprilia India had announced special launch prices of ₹1,09,999 for the SXR GT 125 and ₹1,29,999 for the SXR GT 175. Both reports specify ex-showroom Maharashtra. The ₹20,000 gap is therefore a comparison of the two reported Maharashtra ex-showroom prices, not a prediction of the final amount a buyer will pay.
Ex-showroom pricing does not include the complete registration, insurance and other state-dependent charges that appear in an on-road quote. That distinction matters for a scooter launch because a price shown in one state is not automatically the amount due in another. A buyer comparing the two variants can ask the dealer for a dated, itemised quote showing the ex-showroom price, registration, insurance and any current launch offer.
There is also a timing and location difference in the coverage. Autocar India’s 1 Oct 2026 report listed the SXR GT 125 at ₹1.11 lakh and the SXR GT 175 at ₹1.31 lakh, both ex-showroom Delhi. The later 5 Oct reports use Maharashtra and describe the figures as special launch prices. These are not like-for-like quotes, so the difference should not be read as a nationwide price cut without a current official dealer quotation.
What each scooter gets
The mechanical split is straightforward. The SXR GT 125 uses a 125cc engine reported to produce 10.6 PS and 10.4 N·m, while the SXR GT 175 uses a 175cc engine reported to produce 13.3 PS and 14.14 N·m. ET Auto and Autocar India report that both engines are BSVI OBD II Stage B compliant and compatible with E20 fuel; BikeDekho independently reports the same engine-output and equipment distinction.
| Variant | Reported price | Reported engine output | Equipment to note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aprilia SXR GT 125 hp.e | ₹1,09,999 ex-showroom Maharashtra, 5 Oct 2026 | 125cc; 10.6 PS; 10.4 N·m | 5-inch LCD; combined braking system |
| Aprilia SXR GT 175 hp.e | ₹1,29,999 ex-showroom Maharashtra, 5 Oct 2026 | 175cc; 13.3 PS; 14.14 N·m | 5-inch TFT; connected functions; single-channel ABS |
Both models use 14-inch alloy wheels, a change that supports the range’s urban-tourer positioning. That can be relevant to riders who split time between city roads and longer weekend routes, but wheel size alone does not establish ride comfort, handling or real-world performance. Those points still depend on the rider, road surface, load and test-ride experience.
Fuel and running-cost checks
The E20 compatibility reported by ET Auto and Autocar India is a specification point, not a mileage or savings claim. Petrol cost will still vary with the local rate, traffic, riding style and the scooter’s real-world consumption. Riders can check live petrol prices for their location and use the fuel-cost calculator to estimate a commute or trip with their own inputs.
For longer rides, the relevant comparison is not only the ₹20,000 ex-showroom gap. The 175’s extra equipment and larger engine sit alongside its higher purchase price, while the 125’s simpler display and CBS layout may suit a different usage pattern. The published reports do not establish a fuel-economy winner, so this article makes no mileage claim.
What buyers need to check now
- Use the same price basis. Compare Maharashtra with Maharashtra or Delhi with Delhi, and separate ex-showroom prices from on-road totals. The 1 Oct Delhi figures and 5 Oct Maharashtra figures should not be merged into one national price.
- Check the exact feature list. The 175 has the TFT console, call and music controls, turn-by-turn navigation and single-channel ABS reported by BikeDekho and Autocar India. The 125 has an LCD instrument cluster and CBS. Confirm the equipment on the exact variant quoted by the dealer.
- Ask about the current launch price. ET Auto and BikeDekho describe the Maharashtra figures as special launch prices. A dated quotation can show whether the same price is available in the buyer’s city and what charges are added.
- Estimate the running cost separately. Use the local petrol rate, expected distance and observed mileage after a test ride rather than treating an ex-showroom price as the full ownership cost. The road-trip planner can help map a longer route before comparing fuel use.
- Check practical fit. The two scooters have the same broad maxi-scooter format but different equipment. Seat reach, wind protection, storage access, braking feel and service support are practical questions to verify in person; the launch reports do not replace that check.
What changes now
The immediate change is the reported launch of two petrol maxi-scooter variants, with Maharashtra special ex-showroom prices published on 5 Oct 2026. The next useful information for buyers is a current city-wise dealer quotation and confirmed availability. Until those details are clear, the most reliable comparison is the published equipment split and the price basis attached to each quote.
