Yamaha launches first hybrid motorcycle in 150cc category

Yamaha launches first hybrid motorcycle in 150cc category

Chennai, Mar 11 (UNI) India Yamaha Motor (IYM) on Tuesday launched

its first ever hybrid motorcycle, the 2025 'FZ-S Fi Hybrid'.

It was priced at Rs 1,44,800 (Ex-showroom, Delhi), a company statement

here said.

The 2025 ‘FZ-S Fi Hybrid’ embodies a total balanced and sophisticated

design, further refined by the sharper edges on the tank cover and giving

it a sleek and well-proportioned look, while retaining its signature presence.

A key design update includes integrated front turn signals, now positioned

within the air intake area, adding to its aggressive and aerodynamic appeal.

Powering the motorcycle is a 149cc Blue Core engine, now OBD-2B compliant,

equipped with Yamaha’s Smart Motor Generator (SMG) and Stop and Start

System (SSS). These technologies provide quieter starts, battery-assisted

acceleration, and improved fuel efficiency by automatically shutting off the

engine at idle and restarting with a quick clutch action.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Itaru Otani, Chairman, Yamaha Motor India Group

said, “The FZ brand has played a crucial role in Yamaha’s journey in India,

evolving with every generation to meet the changing expectations and practical

requirements of our customers."

"By introducing hybrid technology in this segment, we are not only elevating

performance, but also reinforcing our commitment to bringing advanced, rider

-focused innovations", he added.
