We have come to know that the new Hero Destini 125 will be launched sometime in December 2024, likely next week, according to our sources. The 2024 Hero Destini 125 is a family-oriented scooter from Hero MotoCorp. It was unveiled officially back in September 2024 and packs  a brand new design and a host of crucial updates beneath the skin as well. 

The new design gives the scooter a retro-looking LED headlight and DRL setup, along with a few copper highlights. The scooter manages to stand out quite a bit with the boxier styling and overall design, when compared to the previous Destini 125, which looked a bit bulky.

The scooter is still powered by the same 124.6cc air-cooled, single-cylinder motor which outputs 9PS and 10.4Nm. For the 2024 update, Hero has given the scooter a new CVT (Continuous variable transmission) gearbox. According to Hero, the new scooter will offer a claimed mileage of 59kmpl. Also, another crucial update in the hardware front is the availability of front disc brakes in the higher-end variants. 

Speaking of which, the new Hero Destini 125 will come in three variants: VX, ZX and ZX+. In terms of features, the higher-end ZX and ZX+ variants of the Destini 125 will offer smartphone connectivity and related features. It will include turn-by-turn navigation,call and SMS alerts. Along with this, the scooter will also get auto-cancelling indicators whose functionality is similar to how indicators on a car work. You also get an illuminated starter switch. 

We expect the scooter to be launched by next week as stated above. It will likely be sold at a price that is around the Rs 85,000 to Rs 90,000 mark (ex-showroom). It will go up against other family-oriented scooters in the market like the TVS Jupiter 125, Suzuki Access 125 and the Honda Activa 125.
