Indian manufacturer TVS has unveiled the latest addition to its range, the Jupiter scooter.

Power comes from an all-aluminium, four-stroke, air-cooled 110 cc engine that develops 7.9 bhp (5.9 kW / 8.0 PS). Connected to a V-matic transmission, it features both kick and electric starters, an Econometer and a choice of either Eco or Power modes. Claimed average fuel consumption is a class-leading 175.1 mpg (1.6 l/100km / 62 km/l).

With buyers able to select from Midnight Black, Titanium Grey, Volcano Red or Pristine White paintwork, the TVS Jupiter is priced at Rs. 44,200 ex-showroom in Delhi (about £430 or €515 at current exchange rates).

Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
