TVS Star City 2012 Mileage

Dhoni endorses this. TVS launched an upgraded version of its popular 110cc motorbike, the TVS Star City in early 2012. Since then, the bike has apparently been voted India’s number 1 110cc bike; at least according to the company’s website. Star City comes with decent features for a 110cc bike – electric start, a 2-way adjustable rear shock absorbers and a better quality engine. The focus though has been on the exterior graphics and the ‘macho look’. TVS Star City is available at a price of Rs. 44,325 (ex-showroom, Chennai).

User Reviews on Mileage

While one customer says he regularly sees 70 kmpl, other users have reported varying mileages like 65 kmpl, 75kmpl and 58 kmpl.
