Kawasaki W175

Kawasaki India has also updated the standard W175 for the Indian market. The model sees a notable revision in pricing and will be available in new colours for the 2024 model year. The price revision now makes the W175 up to Rs 25,000 more affordable than before with the existing colour schemes of Ebony and Candy Persimmon Red now priced at Rs 1.22 lakh and Rs 1.24 lakh respectively – down from Rs 1.47 lakh and Rs 1.49 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).

For the 2024 model year, the W175 gets the addition of two new metallic paint finishes – Graphite Grey and Ocean Blue. The former is priced at Rs 1.29 lakh (ex-showroom) while the latter costs Rs 1.31 lakh (ex-showroom). These new prices mean that the W175 is now positioned below the W175 Street with the Ocean Blue variant costing about Rs 4,000 less than the W175 Street.

Mechanically, Kawasaki looks to have made no changes to the W175 with the familiar air-cooled 177cc, single-cylinder mill carried forward. The unit continues to develop 12.9 bhp and 13.2 Nm of peak torque and is paired with a 5-speed gearbox.

As previously reported, the W175 does get some differences over the new W175 Street such as a taller seat height, marginally more ground clearance and spoke wheels. It also gets a larger 270 mm front disc brake.
