The commuter bike market in India just got a major update, thanks to the arrival of the new TVS Star City. Known for its reliable engine and low running costs, the Star City has always been a favorite of daily riders. And now, TVS has given it a makeover that blends style, practicality, and strong performance.
If you’re looking for a bike that’s perfect for daily use, looks smart, and saves fuel like a pro, this new Star City might be your next best friend.
Styling Mein Nayi Tazgi
TVS has given the Star City a stylish update without changing its original identity. The new design feels fresh and sharp, yet familiar.
- Aggressive-looking headlamp with LED DRL
- Dual-tone body color with bold graphics
- Stylish tank design with blacked-out elements
- Sleek rear section with integrated grab rail
The new Star City now looks more premium and younger. It can easily pass off as a segment-above bike at first glance. Especially in shades like Black-Red and Blue-Black, the visual appeal is pretty strong.
Mileage Ka Asli Baap
TVS has always focused on fuel efficiency with this model, and they’ve improved it further this time.
The TVS Star City 2025 now promises a mileage of up to 70-75 kmpl under ideal conditions. That’s impressive for a 110cc commuter and makes it a money-saver in the long run.
This has been made possible with:
- ET-Fi (Eco Thrust Fuel Injection) tech
- Lightweight chassis
- Improved combustion efficiency
It’s built for daily office rides, market visits, school runs, and more, without emptying your fuel tank every week.
Engine Performance
The bike runs on a 109.7cc single-cylinder engine, which delivers 8.1 PS of power and 8.7 Nm torque. This might sound basic on paper, but in real-world city conditions, the engine is super smooth and torquey enough for quick overtakes.
It’s paired with a 4-speed gearbox. Gear shifts are soft, and the clutch is light, which helps in traffic. The engine doesn’t feel stressed even when riding at 50-60 kmph for long stretches.
Ride Quality and Comfort
TVS knows how to make comfortable bikes. The Star City continues that tradition.
- Soft, long single-seat
- Upright riding position
- Mid-set footpegs
- Wide handlebar
The suspension is tuned well to absorb potholes and speed breakers. The front telescopic forks and 5-step adjustable twin shocks at the rear handle bad roads with ease.
Whether you’re riding solo or with a pillion, comfort remains top-notch.
New Features in the Mix
For a budget commuter, the Star City is surprisingly feature-rich.
- Full LED headlamp (first in segment)
- USB mobile charging port
- Digital-analog instrument cluster
- Service reminder
- Side-stand engine cut-off
- Engine kill switch
These features make a big difference in daily riding experience. Especially the LED headlamp, which offers great night visibility without draining battery life.
Build Quality and Fit Finish
One area where TVS always scores high is build quality. The new Star City feels well put together.
- Switches feel premium
- Paint finish is glossy and durable
- Panels are tightly fit
- Seat upholstery is sturdy
This bike doesn’t feel cheap, despite being a commuter. You can sense the attention to detail once you get up close.
Safety Upgrades
The Star City comes with Synchronized Braking Technology (SBT) which ensures both wheels brake together when the rear brake is applied. This improves stability and reduces stopping distance.
The tyres are tubeless and grip well on both dry and slightly wet roads. You can confidently take on busy traffic or narrow village roads.

TVS is offering the new Star City in attractive dual-tone shades:
- Black-Red

These make the bike stand out without being too flashy.
