Deliveries of the ST trim finally begin as TVS introduces 2 more variants of the e-scooter
TVS has expanded its iQube portfolio by offering the electric scooter in five trims for 2024. There’s a brand new no-frills and smaller battery pack-fitted iQube while the ST trim is now available in a 3.4 kWh and a 5.5 kWh options. And yes, deliveries for the iQube ST start from today. Here are the prices of all of the trims:
Variant | Price (ex-showroom Bengaluru, EMPS subsidy included) |
---|---|
iQube 2.2 kWh | ₹94,999 |
iQube 3.4 kWh | ₹1,29,928 |
iQube S 3.4 kWh | ₹1,46,420 |
iQube ST 3.4 kWh | ₹1,55,555 |
iQube ST 5.5 kWh | ₹1,85,373 |
TVS has managed to get the asking price of the basic iQube under a lakh of rupees but there is a caveat. The aforementioned prices for the standard iQube trims, both 2.2 kWh and 3.4 kWh, are only valid until June 30 and with cashback offers. Also, customers who had been dying to get their hands on the ST trim, still have their bookings for the trim and booked it before 15 July, 2022; can avail of a further ₹10,000 loyalty bonus discount, irrespective of the battery pack they choose. Hence, the asking price will be ₹1,45,555 or ₹1,75,373 for the select customers.
With the base iQube, TVS has tried to offer a similar no fuss riding feel with a basic set of features, albeit with a smaller 2.2 kWh battery pack. Hence, top speed is lower by 3 kmph (75 kmph), real world range is lower at 75 km but thankfully, a 0-80% charge just takes two hours. The latter is achieved by using the 950W charger, which is now standard with all trims of the iQube.
The ST has been eagerly awaited for nearly two years now. It was earlier only going to be available in the 5.5 kWh avatar with an impressive real-world range figure of 145 km in Eco mode. Now, this particular model is also available with the 3.4 kWh battery pack, which has a real-world range claim of 100 km.
Where the ST trim trumps the S is with the convenience and frilly features. For starters, the boot space is significantly larger at 32 litres. The console is the same 7-inch colour TFT screen but it has more connectivity tech. TVS claims it has over 118 connected features with voice commands as well as Alexa compatibility. Lastly, TVS is also providing TMPS on the ST trims as standard.
Considering the step up from the S to the ST trims just comes in the form of features, paying that much bit extra doesn’t make that much sense to us. However, the most affordable variant does make sense to us, especially if your daily commutes are far too small. Plus, arriving in the more funky colours when compared to the S and ST models does also have its perks.
