Hero MotoCorp Limited has expanded the product lineup of its electric mobility arm, Vida, with the introduction of the new VX2 Plus 4.4 kWh scooter variant. The long-range model has been introduced at an effective ex-showroom price of ₹1.43 lakh in New Delhi. The addition expands Vida's localized VX2 product line to four distinct battery and performance configurations.
The updated model architecture is equipped with a 4.4 kWh total battery capacity composed of dual 2.2 kWh removable lithium-ion units, achieving an Indian Driving Cycle certified range of 187 km. The electrical setup is paired with a 1 kW portable charger that completes a zero to 80 per cent charge cycle in 3 hours and 30 minutes, while high-speed DC fast-charging infrastructure can replenish the battery to 80 per cent capacity in 65 minutes. The vehicle line is supported by a domestic service network consisting of over 6,000 fast-charging stations and 700 service touchpoints.
The powertrain features an electric motor generating 6 kW of peak power and 26 Nm of torque, enabling a maximum top speed of 90 km/h across three primary operating modes designated as Eco, Ride, and Sports. Cabin and rider utility features encompass a 4.3-inch TFT instrument display, smartphone connectivity software, over-the-air digital updates, turn-by-turn navigation tracking, 27.2 litres of under-seat storage volume, and a combined braking system. Kausalya Nandakumar, Chief Business Officer of the Emerging Mobility Business Unit at Hero MotoCorp, stated that the multi-variant strategy aims to offer flexible range options alongside alternative Battery-as-a-Service ownership plans.
Prior to its commercial deployment, a pre-production unit secured an entry in the Asia Book of Records for the longest electric scooter journey by completing a continuous 12,111 km cross-country endurance run over 52 days. The manufacturer plans to commence nationwide retail deliveries through authorized dealership networks by the end of July 2026.
