TVS Zest 110 — Overview

The TVS Zest 110 is a scooter available at a price range of Rs. 69,999 - Rs. 76,177 in India. It comes in 3 variants and 8 colours. It is powered by a 109.7 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a user reported mileage of 45 kmpl. With both front and rear drum brakes, the TVS Zest 110 comes with combined braking system on both wheels. The Zest 110 scooter weighs 103 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 5 liters. It develops a power output of 7.71 bhp and a torque of 8.8 Nm.

At just 103 kg, the TVS Zest 110 is one of the lightest scooters in the 110cc segment - and it packs in 19 litres of underseat storage, which most rivals can't match. Starting at Rs 70,850 ex-showroom, the Zest has been TVS's go-to for women riders looking for an easy, practical city commuter since its BS6 update in 2020. The 2025 refresh added SmartXonnect connectivity to the SXC variant, bringing turn-by-turn navigation to a sub-Rs 77,000 scooter for the first time. The 109.7cc ETFi engine claims 48 kmpl ARAI, though real-world returns average 40-45 kmpl for most riders. No disc brake on any variant is a real miss, but for everyday city use the SBT-equipped drums do the job.

View all

  • TVS launched the Zest 110 SXC variant on October 10, 2025 at Rs 75,500 (ex-showroom Delhi), adding a digital instrument console with Bluetooth SmartXonnect connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and two new colour options - Graphite Grey and Bold Black.

  • TVS updated the Zest 110 colour palette ahead of the 2025 festive season, adding Bold Black and Graphite Grey options to complement the existing matte and gloss shades, bringing the total count to 8 colour variants across the range.

What We Like

  • Lightest in class at 103 kg - genuinely easy to handle and manoeuvre in congested lanes
  • 19-litre underseat storage plus glove box and bag hooks - best in the 110cc segment
  • Smooth, peppy ETFi engine is well-suited to stop-go city commuting
  • Starts under Rs 71,000 with a 5-year factory warranty included

What Could Be Better

  • No disc brake option on any variant - rivals like Honda Dio offer front disc
  • Real-world mileage frequently falls short of the 48 kmpl ARAI claim
  • Self-starter reliability has been flagged by multiple owners; kicker can also fail

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the TVS Zest 110?

The TVS Zest 110 earns its place with class-leading lightness, best-in-segment storage, and a price that's hard to argue with. The drum-only braking is a genuine gap in 2025, and a few owners have had self-starter trouble - but for a no-drama, city-focused daily commuter backed by a wide TVS service network and a 5-year warranty, it remains a sensible buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the ex-showroom price of TVS Zest 110 in Delhi and Mumbai?▾
The TVS Zest 110 ex-showroom price is Rs 70,850 for the base Gloss Series in both Delhi and Mumbai. On-road, the total comes to approximately Rs 83,976 in Delhi and Rs 82,413 in Mumbai for the Gloss variant, once RTO, insurance, and dealer charges are added.
QWhat is the real-world mileage of TVS Zest 110?▾
TVS claims 48 kmpl under ARAI test conditions. In real-world city use - stop-go traffic in Mumbai or Delhi - most riders report 40-45 kmpl. Highway riding with a steady throttle can push returns closer to 50 kmpl.
QDoes TVS Zest 110 have disc brakes?▾
No. The TVS Zest 110 comes with drum brakes on both wheels across all three variants - there is no disc brake option anywhere in the lineup. TVS fits Sync Braking Technology (SBT) to distribute braking force across both wheels, but the lack of a disc option is a notable gap compared to rivals like the Honda Dio.
QWhat is the seat height of TVS Zest 110?▾
The seat height of the TVS Zest 110 is 760 mm. Combined with its 103 kg kerb weight, this makes it easy for riders of average height - including shorter riders - to flat-foot or near-flat-foot at stops.
QWhat is the EMI for TVS Zest 110 base variant?▾
At the base Gloss Series price of Rs 70,850 ex-showroom, with a 20% down payment and a 24-month loan at approximately 9% annual interest, the EMI works out to roughly Rs 2,900 per month. Extending to 36 months brings it closer to Rs 2,000-2,400 per month depending on the lender.
QWhat is the service cost and interval for TVS Zest 110?▾
TVS recommends servicing the Zest 110 every 3,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first. The first three services are free at authorised TVS centres. Paid service visits typically cost Rs 600-1,200 including consumables; the TVS service network is extensive across Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities.
QWhich is better - TVS Zest 110 or Hero Destini 110?▾
It depends on priority. The TVS Zest 110 is lighter (103 kg vs 114 kg) and offers more underseat storage (19L vs 18L), making it easier to handle in city traffic. The Hero Destini 110 claims better mileage (56.2 kmpl ARAI vs 48 kmpl) and has a slightly larger fuel tank. The Zest wins on ease of use; the Destini wins on claimed fuel efficiency.
QHow much storage space does the TVS Zest 110 offer?▾
The TVS Zest 110 offers 19 litres of underseat storage - the highest in its class among 110cc scooters. It also has an open glove box near the handlebar and retractable bag hooks, giving riders multiple practical carrying options for daily use.
