2025 TVS iQube Vs iQube S: Differences Explained

TVS Motor Company recently updated its iQube electric scooter lineup for 2025, lowering the prices, upgrading the batteries, and mild cosmetic updates to select variants. With no major changes in mechanicals or performance, the updates focus on improving value and appeal.

Pricing

All three variants: the iQube 2.2kWh, 3.5kWh, and the iQube S - have seen a price drop. The most significant reduction is seen on the iQube S. Here is the latest variant-wise pricelist (all ex-showroom, pan-India).

Visual Changes

The iQube 3.5kWh and iQube S now get minor cosmetic upgrades like dual-tone seats and beige inner panels, which are not offered on the base 2.2kWh model.

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.

Specifications

The battery capacity on the 3.5kWh and S variant has been increased slightly from 3.4kWh to 3.5kWh. The charging times and the claimed IDC (Indian Driving Cycle) range have remained unchanged. So are the 4.2sec 0-40 kmph acceleration time, 4.4kW of peak power, 140Nm of peak torque, 33Nm rated torque. Even the IP67 rating remains the same as before for all.

The seat height for all is 770mm, ground clearance is 157mm, and it is capable of climbing roads with up to 10 degrees of incline. All have 12-inch wheels with 90-section tubeless tyres at both ends, a tubular chassis, a telescopic fork, twin hydraulic shock absorbers, a 220mm front disc and 130mm rear drum brake.

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.
