That said, the TVS Jupiter ZX does miss out on the fancy bits from the Grande including the unique alloy wheels, new seat cover pattern and chrome inserts that lent a premium touch to the scooter. The 2019 Jupiter ZX now comes with two colour options - Starlight Blue and Royal Wine.

With respect to the mechanicals, the TVS Jupiter continues with the same set-up drawing power from the 109.7 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that churns out 8 bhp and 8.4 Nm of peak torque, while paired with a CVT unit. Braking performance comes from the optional 220 mm disc or a 130 mm drum for the front wheel, supported by a 130 mm drum brake at the rear. The TVS Jupiter is one of the best-selling scooters in India and has been doing impressive numbers despite the overall slowdown in the auto market. The Jupiter locks horns against a number of offerings including the Honda Activa 5G, Hero Duet 110, among other models.
