Ather Energy has unveiled the 2025 version of its popular 450X electric scooter, introducing significant updates alongside a marginal price increase. The scooter now comes in two variants: the 2.9kWh version priced at ₹1.47 lakh, and the 3.7kWh version priced at ₹1.57 lakh (ex-showroom). These prices mark an increase of ₹6,400 and ₹2,000, respectively. Additionally, buyers can enhance their scooters with an optional Pro Pack, costing ₹17,000 for the 2.9kWh variant and ₹20,000 for the 3.7kWh trim.
New Features in the 2025 Ather 450X
Ather Energy has incorporated several cutting-edge features and upgrades into the 2025 iteration of the 450X to enhance its appeal. Here’s what’s new:
1. Three Traction Control Modes
The 450X now features three traction control (TC) modes:
- Rain Mode: For enhanced grip and safety in wet conditions.
- Road Mode: Optimized for regular urban commutes.
- Rally Mode: Designed for spirited riding with minimal intervention.
Riders who prefer total control can also choose to turn the TC off entirely, providing a more engaging experience.
2. Regenerative Braking System
The Magic Twist regenerative braking system, previously exclusive to the Ather 450 Apex, is now available in the 450X. This advanced regen system is powerful enough to reduce the reliance on traditional braking systems in most scenarios, offering a smoother and more efficient ride.
3. New Tyres for Improved Range
The 2025 450X comes equipped with Zapper N e-Tred tyres, co-developed with MRF. These tyres are designed to minimize rolling resistance, which enhances the scooter’s real-world range by approximately 25%.
- 2.9kWh variant: True range has increased from 85km to 105km.
- 3.7kWh variant: True range has risen from 105km to 130km.
Pro Pack Features
Customers opting for the Pro Pack unlock additional tech-focused features powered by the AtherStack 6 software, such as:
- Google Maps integration for seamless navigation.
- Alexa pairing for voice commands and smart connectivity.
- WhatsApp notifications displayed directly on the dashboard.
- Ping My Scooter and Live Location Sharing for real-time tracking and convenience.
Faster Charging with the Ather Duo 700W Charger
For those choosing the 2.9kWh variant, Ather Energy is including the Ather Duo 700W home charger, which can recharge the scooter’s battery from 0% to 80% in just three hours. This ensures quicker turnaround times for riders.
