Design & Looks
The refreshed Access carries a sharper front fascia, a slimmer headlamp and a more sculpted tail section. The colour palette includes vibrant shades like Electric Blue and Metallic Silver, which should appeal to young city riders. Inside, the seat is slightly wider and the instrument cluster gets a digital touch, but the overall ergonomics remain similar to the older model.
Performance & Mileage
Under the hood sits a 124 cc, air‑cooled, single‑cylinder engine that produces about 8.5 hp and 10.5 Nm of torque. Suzuki claims a mileage figure of 55 km/l under standard test conditions. Real‑world users report numbers in the 50‑53 km/l range, which is respectable for a city scooter but still a notch below the Activa’s 55‑56 km/l claim.
Price & Rivals
At Rs 1.92 lakh (on‑road, Mumbai), the Access sits just above the entry‑level Activa 125, which starts around Rs 1.79 lakh. The price gap is primarily due to the new styling, a digital console, and a slightly larger fuel tank (5.5 L vs 5.3 L). Competitors like the TVS Ntorq 125 and Honda Activa 125 also hover in the same price band, making the market very tight.
