Other than the colour schemes and the backrest, all the three variants of the iQube look pretty similar. This isn’t necessarily an issue as the base variant of the iQube looks as premium as the S variant. Also, the cushioned backrest goes a long way in improving the pillion comfort.
Feature Differences
The equipment list differs slightly on all the three variants—particularly with the iQube S offering a few extras. That is a given considering it costs more.

BikeDekho Says
The 2025 TVS iQube update focuses on making the scooters more competitive through price reductions and cosmetic updates. Even though the base variant is considerably more affordable than the 3.5kWh variant, it still gets a similar top speed. The only aspects in which the 3.5kWh variant and the S variant are superior are in terms of range and a few more fancy features. If you’re looking for a well-rounded budget electric scooter, the 2.2kWh variant should suffice. Those who want better range can go for the 3.5kWh variant as it gets similar range as the more expensive S variant minus the fancy connected features.
