Hero Destini 125 VX
About
The 2024 Hero Destini 125 VX is a family-oriented scooter that has undergone significant updates to make it more appealing and practical. It features a new neo-retro design with a projector LED headlamp and an H-shaped LED tail light. The scooter is built on a new chassis with a 57mm longer wheelbase and 12-inch wheels, which improve stability and ride quality. The engine remains the same 124.6cc unit producing 9.12PS and 10.4Nm of torque, but it has been calibrated for better refinement and fuel efficiency. The VX variant comes with a drum brake at the front, a digi-analog speedometer, and misses out on some premium features like disc brakes and a fully digital display available in higher variants. Despite this, it offers a comfortable ride, ample storage space, and connected features like Bluetooth connectivity, making it a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and practical scooter for daily use.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The 2024 Hero Destini 125 VX is a significant improvement over its predecessor, making it a strong contender in the 125cc scooter segment. The new design, with its neo-retro styling, including the LED DRL and projector headlamp, gives it a fresh and appealing look. The scooters composed ride quality, thanks to the updated chassis and 12-inch wheels, is one of its standout features. It handles both city roads and off-road patches with ease, making it a practical choice for daily commuting. However, the VX variant misses out on some premium features like disc brakes and a fully digital display, which are available in the higher ZX and ZX variants. Despite this, the Destini 125 VX offers a great balance of comfort, practicality, and value, making it a worthy consideration for those looking for a reliable family scooter.
Price
The price of the 2024 Hero Destini 125 VX in India is expected to be competitive, likely in the same ballpark as the outgoing model. The outgoing Destini 125 XTEC was priced at around Rs 86,538 (ex-showroom, Delhi), so we can anticipate the new VX variant to be priced similarly, possibly with a small hike. On-road prices will vary depending on the state and local taxes, but you can expect to pay around Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.1 lakh, including registration, insurance, and other costs. Given the updates and features, this pricing makes the Destini 125 VX a good value proposition in the market.
Hero Destini 125 VX on road price is Rs 86,612 in Delhi, Rs 89,547 in Mumbai, Rs 87,666 in Kolkata and Rs 88,795 in Chennai. The prices mentioned here are approximate and we suggest you contact your nearest Hero dealership to get the exact on-road price quote in your city.

The 2024 Hero Destini 125 VX variant has been unveiled with a fresh design and several updates. This entry-level variant comes with a semi-digital instrument cluster, 12-inch cast alloy wheels, and drum brakes. It also features a boot lamp, side stand engine cut-off, external fuel filler, and a Type-A USB charging port. The VX variant is available in Groovy Red, Eternal White, and Regal Black color options. I believe this variant will appeal to those looking for a balance between affordability and essential features.

The Hero Destini 125 VX stands out with its new LED headlight and H-shaped LED daytime running lamp, giving it a modern and dynamic road presence. This variant, although the base model, includes standard features like a metal front fender, LED tail lamp, and a 5-litre fuel tank. The scooter also boasts 19 litres of under-seat storage space and best-in-class ground clearance of 785mm. I think these features make it a compelling option for daily commuters.

Hero MotoCorp has highlighted the improved suspension setup in the 2024 Destini 125 VX, which includes a telescopic front fork and a rear monoshock, ensuring a smoother ride. The scooter also features combined braking system (CBS) and an illuminated start button, adding to its safety and convenience. I believe these enhancements will significantly improve the riding experience.

The 2024 Hero Destini 125 VX is expected to be priced competitively, likely around Rs. 90,000, making it an attractive option in the 125cc scooter segment. This pricing strategy could help Hero MotoCorp gain a stronger foothold in the market against rivals like the Honda Activa 125 and TVS Jupiter 125. I think this pricing will make it a strong contender.

The new Hero Destini 125 VX has a larger wheelbase of 1302mm compared to the previous model, which should improve stability and handling. The scooter retains the same 124.6cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine but is now paired with an updated CVT gearbox, promising better fuel efficiency. I believe this update will make the scooter more appealing to potential buyers.
Mileage
Monday, 18 November 2024 11:00 PM
The mileage of the 2024 Hero Destini 125 VX is one of its key selling points. Hero claims an ICAT certified fuel efficiency of 59 kmpl, which is among the best in its class. This figure is promising, especially for a 125cc scooter, and it aligns with Heros focus on refinement and fuel efficiency. In real-world conditions, you can expect the mileage to be slightly lower but still impressive, making it an economical choice for daily commuting. The i3S start-stop technology further enhances fuel efficiency by automatically switching off the engine when the scooter is stationary, which is a useful feature in urban traffic.
