New TVS Jupiter vs Piaggio Vespa Comparison

TVS took a clear risk by changing the winning formula of the Jupiter, but the gamble paid off. By giving it a highly practical 33-litre boot and a front fuel filler, TVS has made running daily errands much more convenient now. Also, the new 113.3 cc engine with the hybrid assist fixes the sluggish feeling old 110 cc scooters used to have when pulling away from traffic lights. While the fit and finish could be tightened up in a few spots, the comfortable ride quality and loaded tech sheet make the TVS Jupiter one of the smartest family-oriented purchases right now.

Preetam summarises,

“If better performance, superior dynamics, more storage and smarter features are what you’re looking for, then it’s difficult to look beyond the TVS Jupiter 110.”

The Piaggio Vespa is a fun scooter, with a likeable old-school design that has been around for almost five decades. It offers decent performance, has a stiff ride quality. It handles well too but is now getting a little long in the tooth, with Piaggio not having made any recent and significant updates in the last few years. Despite decent dynamics, the brakes lack bite, and the scooter is on the expensive side, even for 150 cc scooter models.
