Hero MotoCorp is all set to launch the updated 2025 Hero Splendor Plus, and it’s creating quite a buzz! This iconic bike, loved by millions for its reliability and fuel efficiency, is getting a modern makeover while staying true to its roots. With a powerful engine, impressive mileage, and new features, the 2025 Splendor Plus is ready to rule the roads.
Design
2025 Hero Splendor Plus keeps its classic, no-nonsense look but adds a touch of style. New graphics and chrome accents on the mirrors and exhaust give it a sharper, more premium vibe. The bike comes in fresh color options like Black with Silver, Heavy Grey, and Bumblebee Yellow, appealing to both young riders and families. Its simple, upright design ensures comfort for daily commutes, and the multi-reflector headlamp improves nighttime visibility. It’s practical yet modern, perfect for Indian roads.
Engine
At the heart of the 2025 Splendor Plus is a refined 97.2cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder engine. It’s now BS6 Phase-2 compliant, meaning it meets the latest emission standards while delivering smooth performance. The engine produces around 8.02 PS at 8000 RPM and 8.05 Nm of torque at 6000 RPM. Paired with a 4-speed gearbox, it’s built for easy city riding and occasional highway trips. Hero’s XSens technology optimizes fuel delivery for better efficiency and power.
Performance
The Splendor Plus isn’t about speed; it’s about reliability. With a top speed of around 90 km/h, it’s perfect for navigating busy city streets or small-town roads. The engine offers steady power for smooth rides, even with a pillion. The tubular double cradle frame and telescopic front forks, combined with 5-step adjustable rear suspension, handle potholes and bumps well. Its lightweight 112 kg build makes it easy to maneuver, especially for new riders.
Mileage
Fuel efficiency is where the 2025 Splendor Plus shines. Hero claims an impressive 80 kmpl under ideal conditions, thanks to the i3S (Idle Start-Stop) system and advanced fuel injection. In real-world conditions, expect around 65–70 kmpl, which is still fantastic for daily commuters. With a 9.8-litre fuel tank, you can ride over 700 km on a single tank, saving money at the pump.
Features
The 2025 model steps up with practical upgrades. The i3S system cuts the engine during idle to save fuel, while a semi-digital instrument cluster shows trip and fuel info. Some variants include LED DRLs, a USB charging port, and a side-stand engine cut-off for safety. Tubeless tyres and an integrated braking system (IBS) add reliability and better control.
Price
Starting at around ₹75,000 (ex-showroom), the 2025 Splendor Plus remains budget-friendly. Higher variants with features like self-start and i3S may cost up to ₹80,000. It competes with bikes like the TVS Star City Plus and Honda Shine 100 but offers great value.
