Aprilia SR 175 real world performance tested

Aprilia India has replaced the SR 160 with the SR 175 in its scooter lineup in a rather hush-hush manner and this scooter debuts a new, larger engine. This is how the biggest air-cooled engine found on a scooter in India today has performed. 

Aprilia SR 175 performance tested: acceleration

The SR was tested in damp conditions

Acceleration
0-40kph 2.76s
0-60kph 5.69s
0-80kph 11.35s

The Aprilia SR 175 was tested on a day when it had been raining and the roads were properly wet but at the time of testing, it was dry. If tested in dry conditions, these numbers will in all likelihood be even better. Coming to its performance, the SR’s 174cc air-cooled motor is a punchy one and is more about instant shove than a manic top-end. 

This reflects in the 0-40kph and 0-60kph timings where the Aprilia is almost neck and neck with its arch rival, the more powerful and advanced Yamaha Aerox 155. However, once the speeds rise and you cross the 60kph threshold, the SR’s motor’s urgency reduces and the deficit to the Yamaha builds up.  

Aprilia SR 175 performance tested: rolling acceleration

Overtakes in the city are quick and fun on the SR

Rolling acceleration
20-50kph 2.88s
30-70kph 6.37s
50-80kph 7.37s

The SR 175’s motor is the torquiest in its class and it delivers strong performance when you whack open the throttle. This is especially true inside city limits where you’re usually not breaching 60kph and slicing through traffic on the SR is really good fun. Even when the speeds rise, the SR's performance stays at a commendable level and this is one of the few sub-Rs 2 lakh scooters you can comfortably use on the highway.

Aprilia SR 175 performance tested: braking

Powerful, responsive and feedback-rich brakes with single-channel ABS

Braking
60-0kph (in metres) 19.18m

Braking power on the SR 175 is in ample supply and the units on the scooter are also rich in feedback. Unlike most scooters, over here the front brake actually shoulders the bulk of the stopping duties and the rear brake is majorly there to keep you stable. By virtue of its displacement, the scooter comes with single-channel ABS which is a good safety net to have on our unpredictable roads. 

Autocar India’s testing standards

Before conducting our performance tests, we check and maintain tyre pressures based on the manufacturer’s recommendation and ensure the vehicle has a full tank of fuel. The machine is then tested in a controlled environment, and the data is collected via highly accurate GPS-based timing equipment.

Auto Expo 2023: 9 new Tata Motors car, SUV launches by 2025

Tata Motors had a blockbuster showing at Auto Expo 2023, with several models on display in various states of production readiness. However, while Tata’s announcement was quite scant on details, we’ve received a bit more information from company sources, specifically around when these cars will be launched. The products are an even mix of EV and ICE products, but while the latter includes petrol and CNG models, there has been no word on further diesel development, which means the present 1.5-litre engine in the Nexon , and the Fiat-sourced 2.0 in the Harrier and Safari , will soldier on for some time. New Tata Sierra launch in 2025 with new 1.5 petrol engine Undoubtedly the biggest star at the Tata Motors stall, the second iteration of the Sierra EV concept has inched ever closer to production-ready guise. Now with four doors and an interior with conventional controls and switchgear, it’s clear this model is in its final stages of development. However, while the concept is an EV b...

Honda Amaze diesel discontinued ahead of RDE norms implementation

Honda  has officially delisted the Amaze  diesel model from its website. The compact sedan was the final diesel model in its segment that currently comprises of the Hyundai Aura , Tata Tigor and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire . Amaze diesel was available in three trims Was the only diesel automatic model in its segment Honda Amaze diesel: reason for discontinuation As we've reported before, the upcoming implementation of the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms in India from April 2023 is the key reason for the Amaze's diesel engine being dropped.  Upgrading diesel engines to meet the new stringent emissions regulations is expensive. This, combined with the low demand for diesel in this segment, meant that there was little business case for the Amaze diesel. Currently, Honda has only two diesel-powered models on sale in India – the  WR-V  and  5th gen City .  However, these cars, too, are slated to be axed as the brand  will cease producing diese...
