Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to expand its electric portfolio under the Vida sub-brand, with the much-anticipated launch of the Vida VX2 scheduled for July 1, 2025. While the company has remained tight-lipped about the specifics of this model, industry speculation suggests that the VX2 could either be a rebadged Vida Z or a new variant under the existing Vida V2 lineup.
Could the Vida VX2 Be the Rebadged Vida Z?
The launch timeline of the VX2 aligns closely with the confirmed India debut of the Vida Z, which was showcased globally at EICMA 2024 as Hero’s first electric model for Europe. The Vida Z has since been spotted testing on Indian roads, hinting at its upcoming release. Given these developments, the VX2 might simply be the Indian version of the Vida Z with localized branding.
What We Know About the Vida Z So Far
Originally introduced for the European market, the Vida Z is designed to be a more affordable electric scooter in the Vida range. It is expected to be priced below the Vida V2, which currently retails between Rs 85,000 to Rs 1.35 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai).
Key design highlights of the Vida Z include:
- A clean and modern body design
- Rectangular headlamp on the front apron
- Stepped, single-piece seat with backrest
- Trapezoidal tail lamp
- Compact TFT display
- Front storage compartment
Expected Features and Performance
The Vida Z will likely feature removable battery packs. The base variant may get a single 2.2 kWh battery, while the top variant is expected to have dual batteries totaling 3.4 kWh, promising a range of over 100 km. It will be powered by a direct drive permanent magnet motor, with slightly lower output than the Vida V2’s 6 kW motor.
Affordability Meets Urban Practicality
Hero’s strategic positioning of the Vida VX2 (or Vida Z) suggests a push towards affordable electric mobility, making it accessible to a wider range of consumers. If the VX2 is indeed a rebadged Vida Z, buyers can expect a practical, stylish, and cost-effective electric scooter tailored for urban commuting.
Conclusion
With the launch of the Hero Vida VX2 just around the corner, all eyes are on what this new model brings to the table. Whether it turns out to be the rebadged Vida Z or a fresh take within the V2 lineup, it’s clear that Hero MotoCorp is committed to strengthening its footprint in India’s rapidly growing electric scooter market.
