A Cinematic Debut

Hero MotoCorp has dropped its first cinematic teaser featuring Bollywood icons Anil Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor, reviving their father-son dynamic from Animal to launch the upcoming Vida VX2 electric scooter. Their playful banter perfectly encapsulates the generational divide: Dad (Anil) rooting for a petrol scooter, while Son (Ranbir) champions the shift to EVs, unveiling the VX2 on his smartphone.

What the Teaser Reveals

The teaser delivers a tantalizing glimpse of the VX2’s front fascia with sleek LED headlamps and a bold silhouette with design elements carried over from the Vida Z concept unveiled at Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. Hints of a vibrant blue shade, and even in yellow have been sighted on dealer floors, tease its upcoming color palette. But beyond that, details remain under wraps.

Affordable with Smart Features

The VX2 is set to slot just below the Vida V2 range, offering a more budget-friendly alternative. Unlike the V2’s advanced features like a keyless 7-inch touchscreen, the VX2 is expected to come with a traditional key slot, smaller non-touch digital display, and physical switchgear.

Expected Variants & Tech Specs

  • Thriving in the affordable EV segment, the VX2 is predicted to launch in Lite, Plus, and Pro trims, following the Vida V2 structure.
  • Spy shots have unveiled cost-effective touches: non-removable batteries, joystick controls on the switchgear, and a more basic lightshow.
  • The Plus variant may feature removable batteries in two capacities with 2.2 kWh and 3.4 kWh, promising around 100 km of real-world range.

Launch Date & Price Expectations

  • Mark your calendars: the Hero Vida VX2 launches July 1, 2025.
  • Pricing whispers suggest a competitive ₹65,000 price tag (ex-showroom), making the VX2 an accessible EV alternative in today’s market.
  • Hero is clearly positioning it to go head-to-head with the Ola S1X and TVS iQube, as they expand their electric scooter portfolio.

Why This Matters

  • Democratizing Electromobility: With pricier models dominating so far, the VX2 could lower the barrier for hundreds of thousands of daily commuters seeking greener options.
  • Cultural Engagement: The Kapoor duo brings emotional narrative to Hero’s marketing, communicating “innovation meets tradition” in a novel way.
  • Aggressive Market Push: Hero Vida plans to ramp up production across its 203 outlets, targeting 15,000+ units monthly.

Hero MotoCorp is poised to tap the under-₹80K EV segment with the Vida VX2, the first of its kind to be smart, stylish, and genuinely affordable. The teaser’s father-son showdown is more than just entertainment, it frames a cultural shift, nudging India from petrol to electric. With a July 1 launch and big expectations, the VX2 could be the stepping stone that brings electric two-wheelers into every garage.

Curious? After launch, we’ll dive deeper into pricing, ride feel, battery performance, and whether the VX2 can put serious heat on rivals. Stay tuned!
