The wait is over for buyers eyeing a sweet spot in India’s most trusted electric scooter family. TVS Motor Company has officially relaunched its mid-range electric scooter, and this time the numbers look genuinely exciting. The TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh has arrived with a bigger battery, a longer claimed range, and two stunning dual-tone colours that immediately catch the eye in a parking lot full of lookalike commuter scooters.
Priced at ₹1,37,142 (effective ex-showroom Delhi, inclusive of central and state subsidies), this new variant replaces the earlier iQube S 3.5 kWh model that was briefly pulled from the brand’s website. With over 9,00,000 iQube customers already on the road and TVS holding a commanding 24.36% share of India’s electric two-wheeler market, the timing of this launch is no accident. The TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh slots neatly between the base iQube and the range-topping iQube ST, offering buyers a balanced package that promises to take the segment fight straight to Bajaj, Ather, and Ola Electric.

What’s New on the TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh
The headline change on the TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh is, of course, the upgraded battery pack. Where the previous iQube S relied on a 3.5 kWh lithium-ion unit, the new variant carries a meaningfully larger 4.7 kWh pack. This translates to a claimed IDC range of 175 km, a useful jump that addresses one of the most common buyer complaints in this segment, range anxiety on intercity rides and weekend trips.
TVS has positioned this update around three brand pillars: Power of Choice (range, connectivity and colour), Peace of Mind (safety and ownership experience), and Simplicity of Operation. In real terms, that means the TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh is aimed squarely at the urban family that wants more than a bare-bones commuter, but does not need the absolute top-spec ST.
The mechanical recipe stays familiar but with one important upgrade. The same proven hub-mounted motor delivers 4.4 kW of peak power, helping the TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh hit a top speed of 82 km/h and sprint from 0 to 40 km/h in 4.3 seconds. What separates the S variant from the base iQube is the rear suspension, which is now an adjustable hydraulic twin-tube shock absorber unit, allowing riders to tune ride stiffness based on load and road conditions. With the new battery, kerb weight has gone up to 128.8 kg, which is heavier than the base iQube 3.5 kWh (119.1 kg) but still lighter than the iQube ST 5.3 kWh (132 kg).

Performance and Charging Experience
While the headline range figure of the TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh is impressive, it is the charging story that genuinely deserves attention. TVS claims a 0 to 80% charge in just 4 hours, which is actually quicker than the smaller battery base iQube 3.1 kWh and iQube 3.5 kWh variants. Plug it in overnight on a standard 5A socket and you wake up to a full battery and a 175 km range buffer.
The portable charger means you do not need a dedicated wall box at home. For owners living in apartment buildings without dedicated EV parking, this is a practical advantage that should not be underestimated.
In terms of ride feel, expect the same composed, planted character that has made the iQube India’s favourite family EV. The 12-inch alloys, soft suspension setup and low-slung battery placement keep the scooter stable through bumpy roads and city potholes alike. The 770 mm seat height makes it accessible to riders of varying heights, and the 32-litre underseat storage swallows two helmets with room to spare.
Design, Colours and Visual Appeal
This is where the TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh really earns its keep. TVS has introduced two fresh dual-tone colour options that are likely to be showroom magnets:
- Magnificence Purple Beige: A bold, premium combination that nods to luxury crossovers
- Harlequin Blue Beige: A calmer, sophisticated pairing for buyers who want quiet confidence
- Titanium Grey Matte: The existing classic shade for the traditionalists
Both new colours are paired with a dual-tone seat and beige inner panels that lift the cabin feel of the scooter. Combined with the all-LED lighting setup and the illuminated TVS logo, the TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh looks distinctly more premium than its price suggests.
Features and Connectivity
The TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh comes loaded with the brand’s full SmartXonnect ecosystem. The centerpiece is the 17.78 cm (7-inch) TFT instrument cluster, which is not touchscreen (that remains an iQube ST exclusive) but is controlled by a 5-way joystick HMI. It is bright, legible in sunlight, and supports turn-by-turn navigation, distance-to-empty, and remote charge status.
Bluetooth connectivity ties into the TVS iQube app, which unlocks over 118 connected features including geo-fencing, last park location, incoming call and SMS alerts, document upload and OTA updates. Voice control is handled through the “Hey TVS” voice assistant and Alexa Skillset. Music control via the cluster is also supported, a feature reserved for the S 4.7 kWh and ST variants only.
For convenience, the Q-Park Assist (reverse and forward parking mode) is standard and genuinely useful when navigating tight parking situations or steep inclines. The pillion backrest improves long-distance comfort for families who travel two-up regularly.
Safety Package
Safety on the TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh is comprehensive for the segment. The scooter is AIS 156 certified and gets crash alert, fall alert and anti-theft alert as standard. The battery pack is IP67 rated for water and dust resistance, and is housed in a high-strength aluminium extrusion casing. TVS’s indigenously developed Battery Management System (BMS) handles thermal control, cell balancing and longevity, all backed by a 3-year or 50,000 km warranty.
The 220 mm front disc paired with a 130 mm rear drum provides confident braking, and regenerative braking helps recover energy during deceleration.

Pricing and Availability
The TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh is priced at ₹1,37,142 (effective ex-showroom Delhi, inclusive of central and state subsidies). Final on-road prices will vary depending on state-level subsidies, RTO charges and insurance.
Bookings are open through the official TVS Motor website and at the company’s network of over 3,300 dealerships spread across more than 1,000 cities in India. Test rides are being rolled out at major dealerships, and TVS Credit is offering attractive finance schemes to make ownership easier.
Competition Check
The TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh enters a fiercely contested segment. Its primary rivals include the Bajaj Chetak 35 Series, the Ather 450X, the Ola S1 Pro, and the Honda Activa e. Against this set, the TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh leans on its proven reliability, vast service network, segment-leading 32L storage and the trust of nearly a million existing iQube owners. The 175 km claimed range puts it competitive with most rivals, while the 4-hour 0 to 80% charge time is reasonable, though some rivals do offer faster charging.
Motors77 Verdict
The TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh is exactly the kind of measured, customer-driven update we like to see in the EV segment. Rather than chasing flashy spec sheet wars, TVS has done the practical thing: taken the existing iQube S, paired it with a meaningfully larger battery, refreshed the colour palette, and held the price at a sensible point. The result is a mid-range electric scooter that is better suited to genuine daily and weekend use than its predecessor.
For families looking to step up from a base iQube but unwilling to stretch to the iQube ST, the TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh now makes the most logical purchase in the line-up. The 175 km claimed range, 32L storage, AIS 156 safety, and three-year battery warranty stack up well against rivals. The lack of an onboard charger and the absence of a touchscreen TFT will bother some buyers, but at this price point, those compromises feel acceptable.
If you value reliability, dealer reach and a proven platform over chasing the latest gimmick, the TVS iQube S 4.7 kWh deserves a spot at the top of your shortlist.
