The Passion XTEC gets a reliable 110cc engine, which has overall great fuel efficiency of 65–70 km/l, if you simply use it just as an affordable commuter bike, it even comes in as one of the cheapest priced bikes in India. Given the bike's Hero i3S idle start-stop system, it can knock down overall fuel use even for city riding situations.

It will retain the 97.2cc engine but with improved BS6 Phase 2 compliance and slightly better torque for rural roads. With a mileage of 70–75 km/l, it remains one of the most cost-effective bikes for daily use and small business needs.

Hero MotoCorp’s strategy is clear: make technology accessible without compromising on fuel efficiency and low cost of ownership. With high petrol prices and increased awareness around maintenance costs, buyers under the ₹1 lakh bracket are looking for more value per rupee—and Hero is ready to deliver.

These upcoming models also come at a time when the government is pushing for better emissions control (BS6.2) and smarter mobility solutions. Hero’s move to add digital dashboards, LED lighting, and smartphone integration even on entry-level bikes shows that even budget segments can be smart and stylish.

Final Thoughts
With these upcoming bikes, Hero is looking to dominate the sub-₹1 lakh motorcycle segment in 2025. Whether you're looking for a first bike or a daily rider that saves money without cutting corners, these launches offer something for everyone.
