The TVS Ntorq which has been the segment favourite since its launch is almost similarly priced at ₹ 58,252 for the Drum variant and the Disc Variant costs ₹ 59,900. The Honda Grazia is a slightly more expensive offering with prices starting at Rs 60,723 for the Drum variant while goes up to ₹ 65,095 for the top spec Alloy Disc variant.

All the scooters in the segment use a 125 cc engine, but as mentioned, it’s the Hero Maestro Edge 125 which is fuel injected which means better fuel efficiency and also abides by the BS6 norms. It is also equipped with Hero MotoCorp’s i3S technology which helps with even better fuel economy. Moreover, in terms of features, it gets external fuel filler cap, USB charging and a light for the under seat storage. While all these features are also available in the TVS N Torq and Suzuki Burgman, they also get Bluetooth connectivity. That said, the TVS NTorq remains its closest rival as Suzuki Burgman is still relatively high on the price ladder and the Honda Grazia looks comparatively dated.
