Yamaha just gave its neo-retro street machine, the FZ-X, a proper tech-laden update for 2025, and it’s now rocking Hybrid power. Yes, the rugged commuter now packs Smart Motor Generator (SMG) tech, Stop & Start System (SSS), and even a 4.2-inch colour TFT screen with turn-by-turn navigation. Priced at ₹1,49,990 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the new FZ-X Hybrid brings together old-school looks with new-school brains — and it’s available in an exclusive Matte Titan finish.
What’s New on the FZ-X Hybrid?
Yamaha is blending performance and efficiency with its Hybrid Engine Technology, borrowed from the FZ-S Fi Hybrid. Here’s what it packs:
- SMG (Smart Motor Generator): Offers silent engine starts and smooth battery-assisted acceleration.
- SSS (Stop & Start System): Automatically shuts off the engine at idle (like at signals) and restarts it with a quick clutch pull – handy for city fuel efficiency.
Connected Riding with Y-Connect and Google Maps
The 2025 FZ-X Hybrid now gets a colourful 4.2-inch TFT display that syncs with your smartphone via the Y-Connect app. Add to that:
- Turn-by-Turn Navigation with real-time updates via Google Maps
- Display of intersection names, road names, and a navigation index on the dash
Perfect for urban explorers and riders who hate pulling over to check directions.
Engine & Performance
Under the retro-styled bodywork sits the same 149cc air-cooled, fuel-injected engine delivering:
- 12.4 PS @ 7,250rpm
- 13.3 Nm @ 5,500rpm
The engine might not be the most powerful on paper, but it offers refined, usable grunt for city riding and weekend cruises.
Safety and Comfort Features
- Traction Control System (TCS) and Single-Channel ABS for extra rider confidence
- Telescopic front fork and 7-step adjustable Monocross rear suspension
- Comfortable two-level seat with a tuck & roll slip-resistant design
Variants & Pricing
Prefer something simpler? Yamaha’s offering the standard (non-hybrid) FZ-X at ₹1,29,990 (ex-showroom, Delhi), available in Dark Matte Blue and Metallic Black.
Neo-Retro Meets Next-Gen
By blending hybrid tech, smart features, and timeless styling, Yamaha’s taken the FZ-X a notch higher. Whether you’re commuting daily or just riding for the love of it, the 2025 FZ-X Hybrid aims to deliver a smoother, cleaner, and smarter experience — all while turning heads.
