New Delhi, July 16 -- Aprilia has launched the SR 175 in India as a new model in its scooter range. It replaces the SR 160 and is priced at Rs 1.26 lakh (ex-showroom). The design remains similar to the previous model, but Aprilia has added two new colour options-Matte Prismatic Dark and Glossy Tech White. The scooter also gets new decals to mark its entry as an updated version.

The SR 175 gets a larger 174.7 cc engine, which produces 13.08bhp at 7,200 rpm and 14.14Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. This is an increase of 2bhp and 0.7Nm compared to the SR 160. Aprilia has retained the CVT gearbox, which helps maintain a smooth and steady power delivery. The engine update puts the SR 175 closer to other scooters in the 160-175cc segment.
