Suzuki Launches e-Access in India at Rs 1.88 Lakh, Priced Above Rival Family E‑Scooters

Suzuki pitches LFP durability plus a long warranty to justify the premium.

Overview

  • The e-Access goes on sale nationwide after its Bharat Mobility Expo unveiling, and a comparative review finds it the costliest option among mainstream family-format electric scooters.
  • Suzuki claims a 95 km certified range, 0–100% fast-charge in 2 hours 12 minutes, a standard-charge time of 6 hours 20 minutes, and a kerb weight of 122 kg.
  • The scooter uses an LFP battery with Suzuki claiming longer life and stable performance, backed by testing for water, shock and heat, and a 7-year/70,000 km warranty.
  • Equipment includes keyless start, Bluetooth with turn-by-turn navigation, emergency alert via a tip-over sensor and a smart seat-lock, though it forgoes a touchscreen and offers a smaller boot around 17 litres.
  • Rivals differentiate on capabilities, with Hero’s Vida VX2 offering removable batteries and leading on peak power, Kinetic’s DX targeting the highest top speed at 90 km/h with add-ons like speakers, and TVS’s iQube ST 5.3 carrying the largest battery.
