The TVS Jupiter 110 has been updated after over a decade, and how! The company has given its best-selling scooter a complete overhaul in terms of design, features, and engine. Ever since its launch in 2013, the chief rival of the Jupiter 110 was the segment king Honda Activa. The latest entrant into the 110 cc scooter category is the Hero Xoom 110, which was launched in the Indian market in January 2023 and serves as a competitor to the Jupiter 110 as well. Here is how both scooters stack up against each other on paper.

The 110 cc scooter segment in the Indian market has been evolving, and brands have been contemporising their scooters to keep pace with rivals, respectively. Now, the top variants of the TVS Jupiter stand out with features like a LED lightbar on the front apron, a digital instrument cluster, a fuel filler cap located inside the front apron, an LCD instrument cluster, and TVS’s SmartXonnect smartphone connectivity. Notably, the top-spec Jupiter is the only scooter in this segment equipped with mild-hybrid technology, which includes an integrated starter generator.
In comparison, the Hero Xoom 110 also offers a fully digital console with Bluetooth connectivity, cornering LED lamps (a first in this segment), integrated LED DRLs, an LED projector headlamp, an H-shaped LED taillight, a boot light, the i3s engine start/stop function, and a USB charging port.

| Price (ex-showroom) | Rs 73,700 - Rs 87,250 | Rs 71,484 - Rs 79,967 |
When it comes to pricing, the base variant of the Xoom is priced over Rs 2,200 less than the new Jupiter, while the top-spec Jupiter is nearly Rs 7,300 more expensive (prices exclude Hero Xoom combat edition). However, this price difference reflects the additional features offered in Jupiter, including its mild-hybrid technology and slightly larger engine displacement, along with providing more practicality in terms of space.
Ultimately, the TVS Jupiter has always been a family-orientated scooter, unlike Hero’s attempt to enter the segment with a sportier offering. With the updated design language, the new Jupiter promises to garner interest from all generations equally, and the choice between the two depends on the preference of characteristics, styling, and other shared interests.
