Hero MotoCorp has launched the updated Hero Splendor Plus, and it’s exactly what budget-conscious daily riders have been waiting for. Known for its reliability and efficiency, the Splendor Plus has received a few small but meaningful updates that make it even more relevant in today’s market. And yes — the claimed mileage is now 80 kmpl, which will definitely help reduce your monthly fuel expenses.
Classic, Familiar Design with Minor Tweaks
The design stays true to what Splendor fans love — a simple, no-nonsense commuter look. The bike still carries the boxy headlamp, clean lines, and basic side panels, but you now get new graphics and updated colour options that give it a slightly refreshed appeal. It’s clearly designed with practicality in mind, not flash.
Straightforward Features That Work
You won’t find fancy gadgets here, but Hero has added a few modern touches. The new Hero Splendor Plus comes with:
- i3S start-stop system for better fuel-saving in traffic
- Side-stand engine cut-off
- Alloy wheels as standard
- Tubeless tyres
There’s no digital display or Bluetooth, but honestly, that’s not the priority for riders looking at this segment.
97.2cc Engine: Proven and Fuel-Efficient
Under the hood (or rather, the tank), the Hero Splendor Plus continues with its 97.2cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, producing around 8 PS of power and 8.05 Nm of torque. It’s not quick, but it’s more than enough for everyday city commuting.
The engine is mated to a 4-speed gearbox that feels smooth and predictable — exactly what you’d want on a daily run to work or the market.
Real Star: 80 kmpl Mileage
Hero claims a fuel efficiency of 80 kmpl, thanks to the start-stop system and improved tuning. While real-world mileage may be slightly lower, it still stands as one of the most fuel-efficient petrol bikes in India right now.
Pricing & Final Thoughts
The new Hero Splendor Plus starts at ₹75,441 (ex-showroom Delhi). That keeps it affordable, low-maintenance, and a smart buy for anyone prioritizing value and reliability.
If you want a motorcycle that simply gets the job done without burning your pocket, the Splendor Plus continues to be one of the most sensible options out there.
