Ather 450X — Overview

The Ather 450X is an electric scooter available at a price range of Rs. 1,48,983 - Rs. 1,60,036 in India. It comes in 4 variants and 8 colours. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Ather 450X comes with combined braking system on both wheels.

The Ather 450X is the mid-tier electric scooter in Ather's 450 family - positioned above the entry-level 450S and below the flagship 450 Apex. At Rs 1,59,000 (2.9 kWh) and Rs 1,69,000 (3.7 kWh), it brings a 6.4 kW peak motor, 26 Nm torque, 7-inch TFT touchscreen, Warp mode, and Ather's proven OTA software platform to buyers who want more than the 450S but don't need - or want to pay for - the Apex's Warp+ performance and single Indium Blue colour. Four variants span Rs 1,59,000 to Rs 1,89,000. State EV subsidies in Karnataka and Telangana reduce effective prices further.

Ather 450X Latest Updates

View all

  • Ather Energy has confirmed the 450X pricing for 2026 - the 2.9 kWh base variant remains at Rs 1,59,000 ex-showroom and the 3.7 kWh at Rs 1,69,000, with Pro Pack options at Rs 1,76,000 and Rs 1,89,000 respectively. No hardware changes have been announced for the 2026 model year. The 450X continues with the same 6.4 kW motor, 26 Nm torque, 7-inch TFT touchscreen, dual disc brakes, and Warp mode. Ather continues to deliver OTA software updates across the 450 family, including the 450X, ensuring all owners receive navigation improvements, ride statistics enhancements, and software platform updates post-purchase.

What We Like

  • 6.4 kW peak power and 26 Nm torque - noticeably more performance than the 450S (5.4 kW, 22 Nm) with Warp mode unlocking the full performance envelope
  • 7-inch TFT touchscreen - same display quality as the Rs 1,90,000 Apex; sharper, brighter, and more readable in direct sunlight than the 450S's LCD
  • 108 kg kerb weight - one of the lightest premium electric scooters in India; lighter than Bajaj Chetak, Ola S1 Pro, and most iQube variants
  • Dual disc brakes at both ends (200mm front, 190mm rear) with CBS - a safety and stopping-distance advantage over rivals that use a drum rear at this price
  • Multiple colour options (6+ colours including Salt Green and True Red) - unlike the Apex's single Indium Blue, the 450X gives aesthetic choice at the premium EV tier
  • State subsidies reduce the effective price to Rs 1,47,999 in Bangalore and Rs 1,49,391 in Hyderabad - making the 450X significantly more accessible than its national ex-showroom implies

What Could Be Better

  • Top speed of 90 kmph - same as the more affordable 450S; the additional power is felt in acceleration, not top speed
  • Pro Pack pricing (Rs 1,76,000-1,89,000) edges close to Apex territory - buyers spending Rs 1,89,000 should compare directly with the Rs 1,90,000 Apex
  • No Warp+ mode - Apex-exclusive; the 450X's Warp mode is the performance ceiling for this scooter
  • Service network concentrated in top 10-12 cities - a practical ownership risk for buyers outside major metros
  • 2.9 kWh real-world range of ~100-110 km requires planning for 60+ km commutes; the 3.7 kWh adds Rs 10,000 to address this

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Ather 450X?

The Ather 450X is the most complete package in Ather's lineup for buyers who want genuine performance without the Apex's single-colour restriction. The TFT display, Warp mode, 26 Nm torque, and 108 kg weight at Rs 1,59,000 are hard to match at this price - and state subsidies in Bangalore and Hyderabad make it even more compelling. The caution is the Pro Pack: at Rs 1,89,000, you are one thousand rupees from an Apex, and that extra Rs 1,000 buys Warp+ mode and a cleaner positioning as Ather's flagship. For buyers who want the 450X experience with colour choice and don't need Warp+, the 3.7 kWh standard at Rs 1,69,000 is the sweet spot in the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

QIs the Ather 450X worth buying in 2026?▾
Yes, for buyers in cities with Ather service coverage. The 450X offers the TFT display, Warp mode, dual disc brakes, and 108 kg kerb weight at Rs 1,59,000 - a meaningful step up from the 450S without the Apex's Warp+ exclusivity or single-colour restriction. State subsidies in Bangalore (Rs 1,47,999) and Hyderabad (Rs 1,49,391) improve the value case further.
QWhat is the real-world range of Ather 450X?▾
The Ather 450X delivers approximately 100-110 km of real-world range from the 2.9 kWh battery and 120-140 km from the 3.7 kWh battery under mixed urban riding conditions. IDC-certified figures are 126 km (2.9 kWh) and 161 km (3.7 kWh). The gap between IDC and real-world range is typical for electric scooters - actual range depends heavily on riding style, speed, and load.
QWhat is the difference between Ather 450X and Ather 450 Apex?▾
The Apex has more power (7 kW vs 6.4 kW), Warp+ mode (exclusive to Apex), a higher top speed (100 kmph vs 90 kmph), and comes in only one colour (Indium Blue). The 450X has six colour options and costs Rs 31,000 less at base (Rs 1,59,000 vs Rs 1,90,000). For buyers who want colour choice, the 450X is the practical pick. For buyers who want peak performance, the Apex is the correct choice.
QWhat does the Ather 450X Pro Pack include?▾
The Pro Pack adds GPS navigation, Call/SMS alerts, geofencing, average speed indicator, and unlocks 5 riding modes (the standard 450X has 4). It costs Rs 17,000 extra on the 2.9 kWh variant (total Rs 1,76,000) and Rs 20,000 extra on the 3.7 kWh (total Rs 1,89,000). At Rs 1,89,000 with Pro Pack, the 450X is Rs 1,000 less than the Apex - buyers at that budget should compare directly.
QAther 450X 2.9 kWh vs 3.7 kWh - which variant to buy?▾
Buy the 2.9 kWh if your daily commute is 40-55 km or less and you have reliable overnight home charging. Buy the 3.7 kWh if your commute is 60-80 km, you want more confidence in range, or you plan to ride at Warp mode speeds regularly (which drains the battery faster). The 3.7 kWh adds Rs 10,000 to the base price - a worthwhile upgrade for most buyers with moderate-to-long commutes.
QHow long does the Ather 450X take to charge?▾
At home (standard charger): the 2.9 kWh variant charges in approximately 4 hours 30 minutes; the 3.7 kWh takes approximately 5 hours 45 minutes. At Ather Grid fast-charging points in major cities, the scooter gains approximately 1 km of range per minute. Ather Grid is available in most major Indian metros.
QWhat is the on-road price of Ather 450X in Bangalore?▾
The Ather 450X ex-showroom price in Bangalore is Rs 1,47,999 (2.9 kWh base) - lower than the national ex-showroom of Rs 1,59,000 due to Karnataka's state EV subsidy. On-road price (adding RTO, insurance, and charges) will be approximately Rs 1,65,000-1,75,000 depending on insurance type and registration charges.
QAther 450X vs TVS iQube ST - which is better?▾
The Ather 450X wins on braking (dual disc vs iQube ST's front disc + rear drum), kerb weight (108 kg vs ~118 kg), TFT display quality, OTA software reliability, and Warp mode performance. The TVS iQube ST wins on TVS's nationwide service network, brand familiarity, and in some cases a lower price. For metro buyers who ride hard, the 450X is the better machine. For buyers outside major cities, the iQube ST's service network advantage is decisive.
