Vespa VXL 150

Piaggio showcased the entire range of the BS6-compliant Vespa scooters at Auto Expo 2020. For 2020, the new scooters get an LED headlamp. Vespa will launch the scooters in the first half of July 2020, and the pre-bookings for the scooter has commenced already. Head here for more details.

Aside from this, the scooter remains unchanged. The iconic Vespa is much sought-after because of its funky design and reasonably powerful engine. Piaggio, the parent company of Vespa, has updated the 150cc scooter range for 2019. As part of the 2019 update, it gets three new colours, Matt Rosso Dragon, Matt Yellow and Azzuro Provenza along with machine cut alloy wheels. Apart from the new paint schemes and alloy wheels, the brand has updated the scooter with smartphone connectivity as well. Called the Vespa Connectivity app, it lets users access their scooter’s details like service history and last-parked location on their smartphones. The Panic Alert feature helps the user to reach out to the pre-set emergency contact with the current location, should anything unfortunate occur.

The Vespa SXL and VXL 150 are powered by a BS6 compliant and fuel-injected 154.8cc single-cylinder air-cooled motor. Working in conjunction with a CVT unit, the motor pushes out 10.4PS and 10.6Nm. Brakes include a 220mm front disc and a 140mm rear drum. The scooters ride on 110/70-11 front and 120/70-10 rear tyres shod on alloy wheels.
