When it comes to choosing the right scooter for your daily rides or family use, it’s not just about power and performance it’s about how a two-wheeler fits into your life. In a market full of choices, two names often come to the top: the TVS Jupiter 125 and the Suzuki Access 125. Both are crafted with the modern rider in mind, and both promise a mix of comfort, convenience, and style. But which one truly gives you the better experience?
A Look at the TVS Jupiter 125
The TVS Jupiter 125 has carved out a space in the hearts of Indian riders by focusing on practical needs. It’s not just a scooter it’s a thoughtful companion built from scratch with a clear goal: to offer more comfort, convenience, and utility. With a spacious 33-litre under-seat storage that can easily take in two half-face helmets, and a cleverly positioned fuel tank under the floorboard, it’s perfect for those who carry more daily. You even get the fuel filler right below the handlebar, making refuelling a breeze.
Powered by a 124.8cc BS6 engine, the Jupiter 125 delivers 8.04 bhp of power and 10.5 Nm of torque. While the numbers may not scream speed, they translate into a smooth and refined ride. The scooter also gets a telescopic front suspension and a rear mono-shock with an easy preload adjuster something rare in this category. For riders who crave a bit more tech, the top-end SmartXonnect variant brings in Bluetooth connectivity, which is quickly becoming a must-have in modern scooters.
Exploring the Suzuki Access 125
On the other side, the Suzuki Access 125 steps in with its updated 2025 version, bringing a sharper design and a bunch of practical features. It’s Suzuki’s best-selling scooter for a reason. Now powered by a 124cc OBD2-compliant engine, it produces a slightly higher 8.3 bhp and 10.2 Nm of torque. While it’s not a huge leap over Jupiter, the Access engine feels zippy and smooth perfect for city commutes.
Suzuki has also taken user comfort seriously this year. With the fuel tank upgraded to 5.3 litres, a slightly higher capacity than the Jupiter, and the under-seat storage expanded to 24.4 litres, the Access makes a solid attempt to cater to modern needs. Add in the external fuel filler cap and dual front storage pockets, and you get a scooter that’s more practical than ever. The Ride Connect Edition, with Bluetooth connectivity and an updated digital console, adds a layer of smartness to your daily rides.
Price Comparison: Which One Offers More Value?
In terms of pricing, the Suzuki Access 125 starts a bit lower, making it a great value proposition. Its base model begins at ₹84,231, while the top Ride Connect Edition goes up to ₹94,502. The TVS Jupiter 125 starts at ₹88,174 and goes up to ₹99,015 for the feature-rich SmartXonnect variant.
Which One Should You Choose?
So, which one should you pick? If you’re someone who values maximum storage, a smoother fuel-filling experience, and a more family-oriented ride, the TVS Jupiter 125 might be your match. On the other hand, if you prefer a lighter scooter with slightly peppier performance, a modern look, and a well-established brand like Suzuki behind it, the Access 125 is hard to ignore.
Ultimately, it comes down to what matters most to you convenience or performance, storage or design. Whichever you choose, both scooters are among the best the 125cc segment offers, and they won’t let you down on your daily journey.
