TVS Motor Company has taken a bold step into the future of urban mobility with the launch of the TVS iQube Hybrid, a revolutionary scooter that seamlessly blends electric and petrol power. This innovative two-wheeler is designed to address the common pain points of modern commuters—rising fuel costs, range anxiety with electric vehicles, and the need for a reliable, eco-friendly ride. By offering the best of both worlds, the iQube Hybrid promises to redefine convenience and efficiency for Indian riders. Whether you’re navigating crowded city streets or planning a weekend getaway, this scooter adapts to your needs without compromise.
Understanding the TVS iQube Hybrid Concept
The TVS iQube Hybrid is not just another scooter; it’s a smart solution for today’s commuting challenges. At its core, this vehicle features a dual-power system that allows riders to switch between electric and petrol modes effortlessly. Imagine starting your day in silent, zero-emission electric mode for your daily office run, then switching to petrol for a longer trip without worrying about charging points. This flexibility makes it ideal for those who want the environmental benefits of an electric vehicle but aren’t ready to give up the reliability of petrol. The hybrid technology ensures that you’re never stranded with a dead battery, while still keeping your fuel expenses in check.
Standout Features That Make the iQube Hybrid Special
TVS has equipped the iQube Hybrid with a host of features that set it apart from conventional scooters. The dual powertrain is just the beginning; the scooter also boasts regenerative braking, which helps recharge the battery while you ride, enhancing efficiency. The Bluetooth-enabled smart dashboard keeps you informed about your battery status, fuel levels, and riding statistics in real time. For added security, the geo-fencing and remote immobilization features allow you to track your scooter via the SmartXonnect app and disable it remotely if stolen. Practical touches like a USB charging port, reverse parking assist, and bright LED headlights with daytime running lights (DRLs) make every ride safer and more convenient. These features collectively ensure that the iQube Hybrid isn’t just a mode of transport but a smart companion for your daily journeys.
Pricing and Variants to Suit Every Rider’s Needs
Understanding that different riders have different needs, TVS has introduced the iQube Hybrid in three distinct variants. The base model, priced at ₹1.20 lakh, comes with a 2.2 kWh battery and a 110cc petrol engine, offering an electric range of 80 km and a total range of 240 km. The mid variant, at ₹1.35 lakh, upgrades to a 2.6 kWh battery and a 125cc engine, extending the electric range to 95 km and the total range to 270 km. The premium variant, priced at ₹1.50 lakh, features a 3.0 kWh battery and a 150cc engine, delivering an impressive 110 km in electric mode and a combined range of 300 km. Each variant is tailored to cater to different budgets and riding preferences, ensuring there’s an iQube Hybrid for everyone.
Performance and Efficiency: A Ride Like No Other
When it comes to performance, the iQube Hybrid doesn’t disappoint. In electric mode, it can reach a top speed of 78 km/h, perfect for zipping through city traffic. The petrol mode pushes this further to 90 km/h, making highway rides smooth and effortless. The scooter accelerates from 0 to 40 km/h in just 4.6 seconds, ensuring quick getaways at traffic signals. With an electric range of up to 110 km and a petrol mileage of around 65 km/litre, the hybrid mode offers an outstanding average efficiency of 80 km/litre. This means you can enjoy long rides without frequent stops for fuel or charging, making it an excellent choice for both daily commutes and occasional adventures.
Charging and Fueling: Convenience Redefined
The iQube Hybrid is quite convenient with respect to charging and fuelling one of the biggest plus points I get from this. A fully charge in electric mode will take about 3.5 hours, but an 80% charge can be achieved within a mere 2.5 hours worth, ₹18-20 per charge. The 5-litre petrol tank gives you enough mileage (around above 250 kms) to keep the range anxiety of recharging at bay. The scooter operates in hybrid mode, where both power sources blend together to give the best range of more than 300 km, hence you can ride farther and not compromise on performance. This two in one strategy means it’s always available to the iQube Hybrid whether you are on the road or in the city!
