TVS Motors is a household name in India, known for its high quality petrol scooters. The brand is now trying to establish itself as the bestseller in the EV segment. With orders for the iQube already on the rise, TVS Motors is looking to make a difference in the premium e-scooter segment with the launch of the Creon in late 2023. In terms of features, price, specifications, colors, warranty, and more.
TVS Creon price in India (expected)
TVS Creon price in India is expected to start from Rs.1,20,000 (ex-showroom). Note that the two-wheeler maker has not confirmed this price tag yet, and it is currently based on online speculation. According to automobile experts and trend analysts, a motorcycle of this caliber and with these features is expected to start at around Rs 1.2 lakh. TVS Creon is expected to be launched in India around October 2023. With this price tag, the EV will take on alternatives like the Ola S1 pro, Ather 450X, Vida V1, Okya Faast, and other premium scooters that claim a higher top speed. Top speed of over 90 kmph and battery range of over 100 km.

TVS Creon Features
A recent report by Rushlane gives us our first look at the upcoming TVS Creon on the road. As per this report, TVS Motors has dedicated Rs 1,000 crore towards the development of its electric vehicles. And, first on the list is Creon. While the concept was first showcased at the Auto Expo 2018, the Creon was spotted on the roads for the first time last year. As per the purported images, the front of the vehicle could feature a sporty, slightly-aggressive design with a sleek frame. The electric scooter could also feature a “muscular front fascia, large instrument panel, step-up seat design and integrated grab rails”, according to the report. The Creon is also expected to borrow the rear-view mirror from TVS’s iQube.
Also, the low seat height and front hand bar will act as levers which will make long rides more comfortable on this upcoming EV.
Talking about its performance, the concept shown at the 2018 Auto Expo revealed that the Creon will be equipped with three battery packs, with a total power output of 12kW. Also, it is expected to go from 0-60 kmph in just 5.1 seconds, and have a claimed range of 80 km on a full charge. The battery pack on this scooter will be water-protected up to an IP67 rating, which provides peace of mind when going off road.
The TVS Creon is expected to sport quite a few as far as connectivity options are concerned. It will borrow the TVS SmartXonnect app from iQube that will allow users to access crash alerts, geo-fencing alerts, navigation assist, last-parked location, live vehicle tracking and more.
Specifications of TVS Creon
While nothing has been confirmed by TVS as to what the consumer version of the Creon will offer, some reports online reveal some expected specifications. As mentioned above, it will include a total of three lithium-ion batteries with premium range and top speed on offer. The electric motor is expected to produce 16.31PS of peak power. In addition to this, the scooter will sport a sharp design, which resembles the Italjet Dragster – a unique looking 125cc scooter.
The console will be Bluetooth-enabled with the ability to change riding modes, use GPS for precise tracking, and enjoy anti-theft and other security features using built-in software that links to your smartphone.

TVS Creon Colors
As of now, there is no information on the color options of the TVS Creon. However, some reports online have indicated that the scooter will be available in Red colour. Furthermore, we believe that Black and White will be the two most popular scooter colors that we might come across on the TVS Creon.
TVS Creon Warranty
Like other TVS EVs and petrol scooters in India, the Creon can be expected to come with good coverage, especially since it will be launched in the premium EV segment dominated by the Ola S1 Pro and the Ather 450X. The scooter is expected to come with a warranty coverage of at least 3 years and 30,000 kms.
TVS Creon Review
If sporty, aggressive looking electric scooters, with big battery packs, are your thing, then the TVS Creon could be the right choice for you when you are looking to buy a new EV scooter in late 2023 or early 2024. It comes with three battery packs. For good range and powerful acceleration. Given that it can go from 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, it makes for the perfect choice for long drives as well as grocery runs.
pros
- Unique, sporty design for the youth
- triple battery pack
- Loaded with security and tracking features
Shortcoming
