India New Launch

Hero Xoom 160 Spied Ahead Of Launch, To Rival Yamaha Aerox 155

Hero MotoCorp will unveil a diverse range of two-wheelers at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The Hero line-up includes Xpulse 210, Xtreme 250R, Karizma XMR 250, Xoom 160 and the 2025 Destini 125. However, ahead of the official launch, Hero Xoom 160 has been spied undisguised, revealing most of its features. Though maxi-style scooters are not as popular in India as in other Asian countries, still if Hero goes ahead and launches the Xoom 160 in the Indian market at an affordable price, it could indeed create a new customer base.

Hero Xoom 160 was showcased at the previous edition of the Bharat Mobility Global Expo last year. The spy images confirm that the scooter will carry most of the features from the model unveiled last year. Some of the design elements are going to be dual LED headlamps with LED DRLs, dual-purpose tyres, a massive windscreen, upswept exhaust pipe, front beak, and grab rails.

The turn indicators will house halogen lamps. It comes equipped with modern features in the form of keyless start/stop, all-digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. There is a separate button to unlock the seat. Though it can also be opened via the key fob which can also be used for locking/unlocking the handle. There is no dearth of underseat storage space as a full-size helmet along with multiple small belongings can be easily fitted into it.
