Expert opinion and recommendation

The Vespa SXL 149 Matte Red is a scooter that stands out for its retro styling and premium feel, but it comes with some trade-offs. While it offers a unique and stylish design that is hard to match in its segment, the performance is somewhat compromised due to the downsized engine to meet BS6 emission standards. The scooter produces 10.2 bhp and 10.6 Nm of torque, which is slightly less powerful than its predecessors. However, it handles well in city conditions and the semi-digital instrument panel adds a touch of modernity. The braking system, which includes a 200mm front disc and 140mm rear drum with single-channel ABS, is adequate but could be improved. Overall, if you value style, comfort, and a unique riding experience, the Vespa SXL 149 Matte Red is a good choice, but if youre looking for raw power or better value for money, you might want to consider other options.

The Vespa SXL 149, including the Matte Red variant, comes with advanced braking features such as a 200mm disc brake at the front and a 140mm drum brake at the rear, along with single-channel ABS.

The Vespa SXL 149 in Matte Red, along with other color options, is part of Vespas strategy to offer a range of stylish and technologically advanced scooters in India. The scooters monocoque full-steel body construction and hydraulic rear shock absorber contribute to its durability and comfort. I think Vespas attention to detail in both design and engineering will continue to attract loyal customers.

Piaggio India has removed the older 150cc models from their website, replacing them with the BS6 compliant Vespa SXL 149 and VXL 149. The SXL 149, available in Matte Red, retains the classic Vespa design while incorporating modern features like a semi-digital instrument cluster and a USB charger. I think this update will help Vespa maintain its market presence in the premium scooter segment.

The mileage of the Vespa SXL 149 Matte Red is reported to be around 35 kmpl, based on owner feedback. This is relatively decent for a scooter in its class, especially considering its air-cooled engine and the emphasis on style over outright efficiency. However, some owners have reported varying mileage figures, with some experiencing as low as 20 kmpl over time.
