Aprilia SXR GT 125 and 175 Launch in India With New Wheels

Aprilia has launched the SXR GT 125 and 175 in India, bringing its SXR maxi-scooter range back to the market after the SXR 125 and SXR 160 were discontinued in May. The new models use the same platform as the SR 125 and SR 175 and adopt the updated engines introduced with those scooters. Prices begin at Rs 1.11 lakh for the SXR GT 125 and reach Rs 1.31 lakh for the SXR GT 175. Bookings for both scooters are now open across India, giving buyers another option in the maxi-scooter segment.

SXR GT Range Gets Larger 14-Inch Wheels

The new SXR GT models retain the maxi-scooter design associated with the earlier SXR range while introducing larger wheels at both ends. Unlike the discontinued SXR scooters, which used 12-inch wheels, the new models are equipped with 14-inch wheels. Aprilia says the increased wheel size is intended to improve stability and comfort. Although the SXR GT shares its underlying platform with the corresponding SR scooters, its overall styling continues to emphasize the larger maxi-scooter silhouette, helping distinguish the new models within the company's two-wheeler lineup.

SXR GT 125 and 175 Engine Specifications

The SXR GT 125 is powered by a 124.5cc single-cylinder engine that produces 10.6hp at 7,400rpm and 10.4Nm of torque at 6,200rpm. The larger SXR GT 175 uses a 174.7cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine developing 13.3hp at 7,200rpm and 14.1Nm at 6,000rpm. Both engines comply with BS6 OBD-II Stage B requirements and are compatible with E20 fuel. The shared platform and updated powertrains connect the new scooters technically with the corresponding SR models while retaining the SXR range's maxi-scooter format and equipment differences.

SXR GT 175 Adds More Technology and Equipment

The SXR GT 175 receives a more extensive equipment package than the 125cc version. It features a 5-inch TFT instrument display with Bluetooth connectivity for music and call management, along with turn-by-turn navigation and additional handlebar-mounted controls. The scooter uses single-channel ABS for braking and also receives a new exhaust end pipe with a heat shield. By comparison, the SXR GT 125 uses a 5-inch LCD instrument cluster and a combined braking system, giving the two versions distinct equipment levels alongside their different engine capacities and outputs.

SXR GT Range Pricing in India

The new SXR GT range is offered in two engine variants, with the SXR GT 125 positioned as the lower-priced model and the SXR GT 175 carrying the higher price. The SXR GT 125 costs Rs 1.11 lakh, while the SXR GT 175 is priced at Rs 1.31 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom, Delhi. Bookings for both models are open across India, making the two scooters available for customers considering the revived SXR lineup and its combination of maxi-scooter styling, updated engines, larger wheels, and variant-specific equipment.

SXR GT 125 and 175 Prices

The pricing structure separates the two models primarily by engine capacity and equipment level. The SXR GT 125 uses the smaller 124.5cc engine and receives a 5-inch LCD instrument cluster with combined braking, while the SXR GT 175 combines its larger 174.7cc engine with a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, and single-channel ABS. Both versions use 14-inch wheels and are offered with BS6 OBD-II Stage B-compliant, E20-compatible engines.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The return of the SXR name gives Aprilia a renewed presence in India's maxi-scooter space while extending the company's updated SR platform and engine family into a different scooter format. The larger 14-inch wheels and differentiated equipment packages provide the new models with a clearer product identity, while the SXR GT 175's connectivity and navigation features increase its technology content. With bookings already open across India, the next stage will be customer uptake and market response to the two variants, particularly how buyers weigh the higher-priced 175cc model against the more accessible 125cc version.
