- Aprilia SXR 160 price in India is expected to be about Rs 10,000-15,000 more than the SR160
- Aprilia SXR 160 launch date in India will be in September 2020
- Aprilia SXR 160 top speed is expected to be in excess of 100kmph
The Aprilia SXR 160 is the Italian two-wheeler maker’s first maxi-style scooter for india. And being a maxi scooter, it gets a long seat, a stretched out floorboard and an enormous windscreen. The SXR160 might work for the brand as it will be the only 160cc maxi scooter out there.
Aprilia scooters are sporty, but they aren’t feature-rich considering their high asking price. However, with the SXR160, the brand is planning to change that perception as the maxi scooter gets LED lighting all around, a USB port, alloy wheels and a fully digital instrument console. Under the new maxi scooter-styled body panels is a BS6-compliant SR160. It gets the same 160cc engine as seen on the SR160, but we can expect Aprilia to slightly tune this motor. In the SR160, this motor makes 11PS of peak power and 11.6Nm of peak torque. While the braking hardware is likely to be similar to the SR160, we expect SXR160 to offer a plusher ride than its sibling.
Aprilia has announced that bookings for SXR160 will begin from August 2020. As far as pricing is concerned, we expect it to cost, well, a lot. Expect an increment of around Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 over the BS6-compliant SR160, which retails at Rs 1.04 lakh (ex-showroom Pune).
