If you’ve been keeping an eye on the electric scooter scene in India, TVS just dropped something worth talking about. The company has quietly rolled out a new variant of its popular iQube – the TVS iQube S 4.7kWh – and it brings some meaningful upgrades over the existing model.
Let me break it down for you in plain, friendly terms.
What’s New with the TVS iQube S 4.7kWh?
First things first – the price. TVS has priced this new variant at ₹1.37 lakh (ex-showroom). That puts it in an interesting spot, considering what you’re getting under the seat.
The headline feature here is obviously the larger 4.7kWh battery pack. Compared to the standard 3.5kWh version, this is a solid bump in capacity. And more battery means more range. TVS claims an IDC range of 175km on a full charge, which is genuinely useful for anyone who doesn’t want to play “range anxiety” every morning.
Now, before you get too excited, keep in mind that IDC (Indian Driving Cycle) numbers are usually optimistic. Real-world range will likely be lower – probably somewhere around 130-150km depending on your riding style, terrain, and how heavy your right wrist is. Still, that’s respectable for daily commuting.

Three Colour Options – Let’s Take a Look
TVS is offering the TVS iQube S 4.7kWh in three distinct shades. Each has its own personality, so let me walk you through them.
Titanium Grey
- If you’re the kind of person who likes things clean, subtle, and easy on the eyes, this one’s for you. The Titanium Grey variant features a dark grey finish on the main body panels, while the apron interior gets a black treatment.
- The contrast between the grey and black is understated but effective. It’s not trying to scream for attention – it just looks… classy. The metallic badging on the side panel carries over from other iQube models, adding a touch of elegance without being flashy.
- Think of this as the “business casual” of the lineup. Works everywhere, offends no one, and always looks good.
Harlequine Blue Beige
- Now we’re talking some personality. This one features a bright blue finish on the body panels, paired with a contrasting beige finish on the apron interior. It’s a bold combination that definitely stands out in a parking lot full of monotone scooters.
- But the detail that caught my eye? The seat gets a dual-tone brown and beige combo that ties the whole look together beautifully. It’s cohesive, it’s stylish, and it shows TVS put some real thought into the design.
- If you want your scooter to turn heads and start conversations, this is your pick.
Magnificence Purple Beige
- Here’s where things get genuinely interesting. The Magnificence Purple Beige follows the same design formula as the Harlequine Blue Beige – contrasting beige apron interior, dual-tone seat – but swaps the blue for a rich purple finish on the body panels.
- And here’s the thing – purple scooters are rare. Like, really rare. You don’t see this colour every day, which makes it an excellent choice for riders who want something unique without going into custom-paint territory.
- Like its blue sibling, this shade is bold, eye-catching, and definitely not for the shy types. But if you’ve got the confidence to pull it off, you’ll have one of the most distinctive iQubes on the road.
One Thing to Note – It’s Heavier
Not everything about this new variant is lighter and better. The bigger battery pack adds some heft to the scooter. The TVS iQube S 4.7kWh is now 10kg heavier than the 3.5kWh variant.
That’s a noticeable difference. You’ll feel it when you’re maneuvering the scooter in tight parking spots or trying to get it on its centre stand. On the move, though, the weight might actually help with stability at higher speeds. Just something to keep in mind if you’re upgrading from a lighter electric scooter.
Verdict – Who Is This For?
The TVS iQube S 4.7kWh makes a lot of sense for daily commuters who found the 3.5kWh version’s range a bit limiting. If your daily round trip is 50-60km, the smaller battery probably works fine. But if you’re pushing 70-80km per day or you don’t want to charge every single night, the extra capacity here is a genuine quality-of-life improvement.
The colours are a nice bonus too. TVS has moved beyond boring monochromes and given buyers some genuinely appealing options – especially that purple.
At ₹1.37 lakh, it’s not the cheapest electric scooter out there. But you’re paying for TVS’s extensive service network, build quality, and the peace of mind that comes with a legacy manufacturer. That counts for something.
