In the ever-evolving world of scooters, 2025 has kicked off with intense competition in the 125cc segment. Two names continue to dominate discussions around daily commuting: TVS Jupiter 125 and Suzuki Access 125.
Both scooters cater to a wide Indian audience looking for a balance of performance, comfort, and fuel efficiency. But which one is better suited for the daily commuter in 2025? Let’s find out.
Design & Styling – Practical or Premium?
TVS Jupiter 125 sticks to a clean and elegant design language. It offers a mature look with a premium feel, especially in its top variant which includes chrome touches and LED lighting. The scooter’s design feels practical, especially for older riders and family users.
On the other hand, Suzuki Access 125 brings a slightly retro vibe. It combines curved lines with a stylish front apron and chrome detailing. Younger buyers and those seeking a modern-classic blend often find the Access more visually appealing.
In terms of design, it really comes down to personal preference—subtle sophistication vs. retro-modern charm.
Engine & Performance – City Ready?
Both scooters use refined 125cc engines. The TVS Jupiter 125 is powered by a 124.8cc engine delivering around 8.3 bhp and 10.5 Nm torque. It’s tuned for linear acceleration and smooth city rides.
Suzuki Access 125, known for its reliability, produces 8.7 bhp and 10 Nm of torque from its 124cc engine. It feels slightly peppier at the top end but remains smooth in city traffic.
For everyday city commutes, both scooters perform reliably well. There’s not a huge gap in real-world performance, although the Access feels a tad lighter and quicker off the line.
Ride Quality & Comfort – Who’s More Comfortable?
TVS has worked hard on comfort, and it shows. Jupiter 125 gets a longer seat, telescopic front suspension, and a 33-litre under-seat storage—one of the largest in the category. It also has a front fuel filler cap, which avoids the hassle of lifting the seat at petrol stations.
Suzuki Access 125 focuses more on ride quality and ergonomics. The seat is comfortable, and the suspension handles potholes well. However, the storage space is smaller, and the fuel filler is under the seat in most variants.
In terms of convenience and practicality, the Jupiter edges ahead slightly. But ride comfort is great on both scooters.
Mileage & Efficiency – The Daily Driver’s Concern
Fuel efficiency plays a key role for Indian commuters. TVS claims a mileage of around 50–55 kmpl for the Jupiter 125. Suzuki Access 125, however, has long been appreciated for its frugality, delivering 52–58 kmpl in city conditions.
In the real world, both scooters offer close figures, but Suzuki continues to have a slight edge when it comes to consistent mileage performance.
Features & Tech – Modern Touch?
The top-end Jupiter 125 variant gets a semi-digital cluster, side-stand engine cut-off, LED headlamps, and mobile charging. Meanwhile, Suzuki Access 125 offers Bluetooth-enabled digital consoles in select variants, turn-by-turn navigation, and call/message alerts.
TVS focuses more on utility, while Suzuki leans towards smart connectivity features. It’s a close call again, depending on what features matter more to the user.
Price & Variants – Value Matters
As of early 2025, prices for both scooters are competitive. The TVS Jupiter 125 starts around ₹85,000 (ex-showroom) and goes up based on features. The Suzuki Access 125 starts slightly lower, around ₹84,000, with the top Bluetooth variant nearing ₹95,000.
Considering features and value, both scooters justify their pricing. Discounts and city-wise availability can be deciding factors.

Verdict – Which One Wins the Daily Commuter Crown?
There’s no clear winner here, and that’s not a cop-out. The TVS Jupiter 125 is incredibly practical, with great storage and commuter-focused features. It suits families and mature riders who want comfort and ease of use.
The Suzuki Access 125, meanwhile, is a reliable workhorse that offers a more stylish design, slightly better mileage, and modern tech in higher variants. It suits young professionals and daily riders who appreciate a balanced ride.
In 2025, the choice boils down to personal needs—storage vs. style, practicality vs. tech, comfort vs. performance. Whichever you choose, both scooters remain excellent companions for the Indian road.
