Hero MotoCorp has launched the new generation Destiny 125 scooter in the Indian market. The updated scooter has LED projector headlight, long seat and new engine. The company claims that the scooter will run 59 kilometers in one liter of petrol.
Apart from this, many new features have been given in Hero Destiny 125. The scooter has been introduced in three variants – VX, ZX and ZX+. Its starting price has been kept at Rs 80,450 (ex-showroom). The new scooter will compete with Suzuki Access 125, TVS Jupiter 125 and Honda Activa 125 in the 125cc segment.
The scooter will get body color rear view mirrors.

The design of the side panel has been completely changed.
The updated Destiny 125 Xtec will get a long seat and alloy wheels.
