The Peugeot Django 125 has been spotted testing in India and we have exclusive photos of the scooter. The photos have given us a decent idea of what to expect from this upcoming retro scooter. Here’s everything you need to know.

The Django 125 has a retro design and styling, reminiscent of scooters from the 1960s. It has a round headlight, and sleek-looking apron mounted turn-indicators. What really makes the scooter stand out is the metal grill-like detailing on the apron, with the metallic Peugeot logo.

Other than this, the scooter has sculpted body panels along with a neatly integrated tail-light section. Overall, Django 125 manages to impress quite a bit with its looks.

The Django 125 will be powered by a 125cc air-cooled, single-cylinder motor which outputs 10.6PS and 8.5Nm. The scooter features a suspension setup that comprises a telescopic fork and a monoshock. It features 12-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. Braking setup consists of a 200mm front and 190mm rear disc.

The Django 125 is a good looking scooter that manages to stand out thanks to its authentic retro design and styling. Peugeot has been testing the scooter along with a few other of its offerings for a while now in India. But so far, there’s no indication that the brand is planning on making its India debut anytime soon.

However, judging from the MH-14 numberplate on the test scooter, it is most-likely developed at Mahindra’s two-wheeler manufacturing facility in Chakan, outside of Pune. Back in 2022, Mahindra and Mahindra, in partnership with Muteres SE & Co, had acquired an equity stake in Peugeot. Mahindra, in this partnership, would be helping Peugeot with new product launches.

So it is natural that Peugeot 2-wheelers will be manufactured at Mahindra’s plant in Chakan. If Peugeot is planning on entering the Indian market with a competitive price, it would be prudent for the French brand to locally manufacture its scooters in India – which is where the Mahindra’s facility will come into the picture again.

We really hope the scooter comes to India, as it would be a really good retro-alternative to the Vespa SLX 125 and the Aprilia SR 125 . The scooter could be launched at an ex-showroom price that is somewhere around the Rs 1.45 lakh mark. It could be launched in India sometime in 2026.
