The TVS Ntorq 150 uses a 149.7cc, single-cyl, air-cooled engine putting out 13.2hp at 7,000rpm and a peak torque of 14.2Nm at 5,500rpm (including 0.7Nm from iGO electric boost). The scooter has two ride modes, Street and Race, each with a different mapping. In our fuel efficiency tests, we kept the scooter in the Street mode for both our runs.
TVS Ntorq 150 real-world fuel efficiency
The Ntorq 150 managed 46.9kpl in the city and 49.92kpl out on the highway
For this test, we ran the Ntorq 150 on the highway for 64.6km, after which the bike needed 1.30 litres of fuel to fill up the tank again. Therefore, we arrived at a highway fuel economy number of 49.92kpl for the Ntorq 150. Once that was done, we rode the Ntorq 150 through the busy streets of Mumbai for 46.9km, after which the fuel tank needed 1.00 litres. Thereby, we achieved a city fuel efficiency figure of 46.9kpl.
TVS Ntorq 150 fuel economy analysis
The TVS Ntorq 150 is a sporty scooter that offers really potent performance. For our city fuel efficiency run, we were cruising, keeping a steady pace, and making overtakes when necessary. Meanwhile, out on the highway, we kept a speed of between 60kph to 70kph for most of the time. The scooter also has an Eco indicator, allowing riders to extract the best mileage and the iGo assist feature helps in making quicker overtakes. Overall, the mileage figures are quite good for a 150cc scooter, but keep in mind that if you are riding in Race mode, mileage figures will vary.
Autocar India’s fuel-efficiency testing
Our fuel-efficiency testing routine starts by first brimming the tank and ensuring the bike is running the manufacturer’s recommended tyre pressures. The bike is then ridden on fixed city and highway routes, where we maintain average speeds that best mimic real-world scenarios, as well as keeping speed limits in mind. The payload on the bikes is kept constant by balancing rider weights and ballast, ensuring consistency across different vehicles and riders. At the end of the test cycle, the fuel tank is once again filled to the brim, giving us an accurate figure of how much fuel has been consumed against the trip meter reading.
