Aprilia SXR GT 125, 175 launch in India: prices from ₹1.11 lakh

Aprilia has launched the SXR GT 125 and SXR GT 175 in India, with nationwide bookings now open. The ex-showroom Delhi prices are ₹1,11,000 for the 125 and ₹1,31,000 for the 175, giving riders a new maxi-scooter choice while keeping the key difference clear: the larger version adds a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation and single-channel ABS.

Key takeaways

The Aprilia SXR GT 125 hp-e costs ₹1.11 lakh and the SXR GT 175 hp-e costs ₹1.31 lakh, both ex-showroom Delhi, as reported on 1 October 2026.
Both scooters use 14-inch wheels and E20-compatible engines; Aprilia positions them for urban riding with longer-distance ability.
The 125 gets a 5-inch LCD instrument cluster and combined braking system, while the 175 gets a 5-inch TFT, Bluetooth features, navigation and single-channel ABS.
The ₹20,000 ex-showroom gap is tied to the 175's larger engine and extra equipment, not just a cosmetic change.
Fuel economy and on-road prices will depend on the rider, city, registration, insurance and final dealer quote; neither should be inferred from the launch price alone.

What Aprilia launched

The SXR GT range revives Aprilia's maxi-scooter line in India after the earlier SXR 125 and SXR 160 were discontinued earlier in 2026. Autocar India and DriveSpark reported that the new 125cc and 175cc models use the updated engine family and platform associated with Aprilia's SR range, while retaining the SXR's semi-faired, touring-oriented shape.

The launch is relevant to Indian riders because it offers two different equipment levels under one design. The 125 is positioned around everyday usability and a lower entry price. The 175 adds the features that matter more on longer rides or in mixed city-highway use, including a connected TFT interface and front-wheel ABS. Bookings are open through Aprilia dealerships, according to the launch reports; delivery timing and the booking amount were not specified in the reports reviewed.

Prices and feature differences

The prices below are ex-showroom Delhi and were reported on 1 October 2026. They are not on-road prices: registration, insurance, handling charges, accessories and local taxes can change the final amount from one city to another.

Variant	Reported price	Engine	Main equipment
SXR GT 125 hp-e	₹1,11,000	124.5cc	5-inch LCD, CBS, 14-inch wheels
SXR GT 175 hp-e	₹1,31,000	174.7cc	5-inch TFT, Bluetooth, navigation, single-channel ABS, 14-inch wheels

That makes the reported price difference ₹20,000 before the on-road costs are added. The 125cc scooter's combined braking system is different from the 175cc scooter's single-channel ABS, so the comparison is not only about engine size. The 175 also provides a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth functions for calls and music management, plus turn-by-turn navigation. Those features are not listed for the 125 in the launch reports, which uses a 5-inch LCD cluster instead.

What the 14-inch wheels mean in daily use

Both SXR GT versions move to 14-inch wheels, while the outgoing SXR scooters used 12-inch wheels, according to Autocar India. A larger wheel can help a scooter feel more stable over broken tarmac, expansion joints and shallow road irregularities, but it is not a promise of a softer ride. Tyre construction, suspension setup, rider weight and road condition will still influence comfort.

For a commuter comparing the two, the useful question is how often the added equipment will be used. The 125 keeps the lower entry price and a simpler instrument setup. The 175 costs ₹20,000 more ex-showroom Delhi and adds the larger engine, TFT connectivity, navigation and ABS. A final comparison should use city-specific on-road quotes rather than the headline ex-showroom prices.

Fuel and ownership checks for buyers

The launch reports confirm E20 compatibility and BS6 OBD-II Stage B compliance for the engines. They do not provide an official fuel-economy figure that can be used as a guaranteed real-world mileage number. Riders estimating a daily commute can enter their own expected mileage and distance in the fuel cost calculator instead of treating an unverified mileage claim as a promise.

Petrol rates vary by city and can change independently of a scooter's ex-showroom price. Checking the live petrol prices for the relevant location will make a running-cost estimate more current. The result is still an estimate: traffic, riding style, payload, tyre pressure and maintenance affect actual consumption.

The SXR GT 175's larger wheels, touring bodywork and navigation equipment may interest riders who plan occasional longer trips, but the available reports do not establish a touring range or comfort score. Route distance, fuel stops and tolls can be planned separately with the road-trip planner once the rider has a realistic fuel assumption.

What to check before booking

Ask the dealer for the on-road price in the buyer's registration city and separate the ex-showroom, registration, insurance and accessory amounts.
Confirm whether the quoted variant is the 125 hp-e or 175 hp-e and check the braking system: CBS on the 125 and single-channel ABS on the 175.
Check the actual booking amount, expected delivery window, warranty terms and service support at the selected dealership.
Inspect the accessory list and pricing separately, particularly if touring equipment or a top box is shown during the sales discussion.
Do not use a dealer's unverified mileage estimate as a fixed monthly fuel budget; record real consumption after regular use.

FuelPrice reader takeaway

Aprilia's SXR GT launch gives the Indian maxi-scooter market a fresh 125cc and 175cc option, with the 125 starting at ₹1.11 lakh and the 175 at ₹1.31 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. The 175's extra ₹20,000 buys a larger engine and a more connected, safety-focused equipment list, while the 125 keeps the entry point lower. The next useful data point for a buyer will be the city-wise on-road price and real-world fuel consumption after deliveries begin.
