Apart from features like Eco Assist, an external fuel filling cap and a new LED headlamp, the rest of the features list is the same. The updated single-cylinder motor churns out the same 8.7PS. However, at 10Nm, torque is down by just 0.2Nm and is offered at 5500rpm, which is 500 higher than before. We would have loved it had Suzuki made some major changes in the cosmetic department or given it some new features like an ACG starter or a silent start feature, like the new Activa 125.

Suzuki Access 125 [2020-2024] User Reviews
- The scooty is going to save you a lot of money in servicing as maintenance is easy. - Ride is comfortable, even if you are a heavy person like me. - Mileage I get from this scooty is around 40 to 45 Kmpl. - Storage space is quite sufficient for 1 helmet under the seat. Also you have storage in the front, that you can use for regular shopping. - The pillion seat is quite low so, mounting on the bike won't be an issue for the elderly people. Like my father.
Smooth riding, Nice pickup and good control of the brakes, stylish look, good for men and womens. Lengthy seats, good for mom's to pick and drop the school going kids. Very spacious legroom. Bags/luggages can be kept... Comfort in riding, Less maintenance oil change indication, bluetooth connection, trips etc.
The Suzuki Access 125 ride connect is very smooth and reliable scooter. The pickup is good and the engine feels refined while riding in the city. The bluetooth feature is very useful because it connects with the Suzuki ride connect app and shows navigation on the speedometer. The seat is comfortable and the mileage is also good around 45-50km/l. The breaking with front disc and CBS is safe and responsive. Overall it is a stylish, comfortable and low-maintenance scooter, perfect for daily use.
Overall good. Everyone knows suzuki access is a good scooty. With regards to mileage, pick up and safety evrything is great. Looks stylish and seat capacity is also huge can easily accommodate 2 people. Headlight is amazing too in the darker roads upper and lower lights both work very well and have the capacity of capturing larger areas in dark atleast better as compared to other brands.
Initially the stock battery was very worst, it used to dry very often. And sometimes there is a vibration when I start the vehicle and run on low rpm, even the showroom didn't rectify it. Maintence is subjective to users, if we dont service often, it will show side effects like vibration, sound, pickup issues etc. Speed, Mileage, Comfort all are fine
