TVS Ntorq 150 – The Hyper-Scooter in India – Review
TVS Ntorq 150 is the newest sporty scooter of India with 13.2 PS power, ABS, traction control, and SmartXonnect 2.0. Complete review with features, mileage, price, pros & cons, and verdict.
A New Chapter in India’s Scooter Story
For decades, scooters in India equaled one thing: convenience. From the humble Bajaj Chetak of the 80’s to the Honda Activa that dominated the 2000s, scooters were designed to be workhorses that would last. They were not about passion, but about practicality.
And then came 2018, and TVS penned a new chapter. The Ntorq 125 was made an entry with Bluetooth, navigation, and styling was inspired by stealth fighter. For the first time, a scooter was cool enough to be parked beside motorcycles without standing out. Young riders adored it, and within no time, it gained a cult following.
Fast forward to 2025. India’s roads are bustling with fans who want more power, more style, and more tech. Enter the TVS Ntorq 150 — a scooter that doesn’t just commute; it performs, entertains, and challenges the very idea of what a scooter should be.
Design and Build – A Scooter With an Attitude
If the Ntorq 125 was sporty, the 150 is sheer aggressive. Walk around it and you’ll notice details that belong more to a motorcycle than a traditional scooter.
Front fascia: Sharp quad-LED projector headlamps with integrated DRLs that look like they mean business.
Side profile: Aerodynamic winglets and bold creases that scream speed even when standing still.
Rear end: A futuristic T-shaped LED tail-lamp that glows like a neon signature.
The construction quality is premium. Panels click firmly into position without any rattles, switchgear has a positive click, and the finish is as glossy and deep as you would hope for a “hyper-sport” scooter.
Behind the flashy lines, TVS has also considered usability. A 22-litre under-seat storage sucks in a full-face helmet, the flat floorboard provides room for a backpack or grocery bag, and adjustable brake levers enable riders to dial in comfort.
It's a scooter that appears to be a rebel but is a daily partner in action.
Features – When Your Scooter Feels Smarter Than Your Phone
The star of the Ntorq 150 show is its SmartXonnect 2.0 technology. It’s not a digital instrument cluster — it’s almost like a two-wheeler infotainment system.
TFT display (on top trim): Sharp graphics, customizable screens, and ride data.
50+ connected features: Turn-by-turn navigation, real-time location sharing, crash notification, and even social media updates.
Voice assistant integration: Yes, Alexa resides here. Need to know the weather or find a park? Simply ask.
OTA updates: Your scooter remains future-proof with software updates.
It’s the sort of tech spec that’ll make you wonder if your car has too many features. And in a sense, that’s the idea — TVS wants the Ntorq to be aspirational, not merely functional.
Performance – Where the Fun Really Begins
Let’s get down to basics: the 149.7 cc O3CTech motor is the highlight of this scooter. It generates 13.2 PS of power and 14.2 Nm of torque, with a additional push from the Integrated Starter Generator.
Acceleration: 0–60 km/h in a mere 6.3 seconds — fast enough to catch some entry-level motorcycles off guard.
Top speed: Listed at 104 km/h, which is rapid for a scooter with city-friendly dimensions.
Ride modes: “Street” maintains efficiency in traffic, and “Race” lets the performance go full throttle.
Around the city, the Ntorq 150 is quick to respond, showing no hesitation in taking on traffic gaps. On long highways, it’s stable and raring to go, maintaining triple-digit speeds with unexpected stability.
This is not a scooter that only gets you from point A to point B. It makes that trip exciting.
Safety – Because Power Deserves Control
TVS has sensibly fitted the Ntorq 150 with a list of safety features as impressive as its performance.
Single-channel ABS provides progressive braking even during sudden stops.
Traction control avoids the wheels locking up on slippery or dusty surfaces.
Hazard lamps & emergency brake warning ensure greater visibility when things become challenging.
Follow-me-home headlamps illuminate your way after you park during the night.
Suspension configuration: Telescopic front forks and rear monoshock provide a perfect balance between sportiness and comfort.
These make it one of the most confidence-giving scooters to ride aggressively.
Capabilities – A Scooter Thinking Like a Car
The Ntorq 150 merges the scooters and cars at the level of tech and feel.
Its dual riding modes remind you of driving modes in sport hatchbacks.
Smart Xonnect provides connected features matching compact SUVs.
The balance of performance and practicality is what cars such as the Hyundai i20 N Line deliver on four wheels.
And that is precisely why it will find resonance not only with college students, but also professionals who desire a lot of excitement without forgoing daily useability.
