First showcased at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo, the Suzuki e-Access has finally made its way to Indian roads. Its arrival was highly anticipated, especially because Suzuki is a legacy brand and the Access nameplate carries serious weight in the ICE scooter segment. However, the electric scooter market has evolved rapidly in the past year. With aggressive pricing, better ranges, and feature-rich offerings from rivals, expectations from Suzuki were naturally high.
In this comparison, I’ve put the Suzuki e-Access head-to-head with its closest family-oriented rival, the TVS iQube, to see how it stacks up on paper.
Pricing: Premium Positioning vs Mass Appeal
The first and biggest talking point is pricing. The Suzuki e-Access is priced at ₹1,88,490/-, positioning it firmly in the premium bracket. In contrast, the TVS iQube ranges from ₹1,11,422 to ₹1,61,984, depending on the variant.
This price gap is impossible to ignore. TVS not only undercuts Suzuki by a massive margin but also offers multiple variants catering to different budgets. From a buyer’s perspective, this immediately tilts the scales in iQube’s favour, especially for first-time EV adopters.
Verdict: At nearly double the starting price of the iQube, the e-Access struggles to justify its premium tag right from the outset.
Dimensions and Ergonomics: Bigger Means Better for Families
When it comes to physical proportions, the TVS iQube and the e-Access are largely similar.
The TVS iQube gets a wheelbase of 1301mm, 1805mm length, 770mm seat height and 645mm width.
The Suzuki e-Access, on the other hand, has a 1305mm wheelbase, 1860mm length, a 765mm seat height, and 715mm width. While the slightly lower seat height may help shorter riders, the two are largely the same in dimension.
For a family-oriented electric scooter, I personally feel the iQube’s slimmer design inspire more confidence and promise better comfort for both rider and pillion.
Verdict: The iQube’s slight size advantage makes it the more practical family scooter.
Performance and Range: EV Basics Matter Most
TVS clearly plays the long game by offering multiple battery pack options — 2.2 kWh and 5.3 kWh. Powering these is a motor producing 4.4 kW and 140 Nm of peak torque, with a top speed of 82 kmph on the higher variants. Claimed range varies from 94 km to 212 km, which is impressive for urban use. Riders also get Eco and Power modes.
The Suzuki e-Access comes with a single 3 kWh battery, paired with a motor making 4.1 kW and 15 Nm of torque. Top speed is 71 kmph, while the claimed range is just 93 km. It offers Eco, Ride Mode A, and Ride Mode B.
In an EV, range anxiety is real, and Suzuki’s numbers simply feel conservative, especially at this price point.
Verdict: TVS wins decisively with better range flexibility, torque, and real-world usability.
Features and Practicality: Where the Gap Widens
Both scooters get a 5-inch digital instrument cluster, but that’s where similarities largely end. The Suzuki e-Access offers a 17-litre underseat boot, which feels inadequate for daily errands.
The TVS iQube, meanwhile, gets a massive 32-litre boot. It also adds Hill Hold Assist, Cruise Control, Pillion Backrest, all genuinely useful feature in city traffic. Higher variants also get a 7” TFT display.
The only edge e-Access has over the iQube is the Keyless Function.
As for the front suspension, both use telescopic forks, and for the rear suspension, e-Access gets a Mono-shock suspension, while TVS iQube gets a Twin-Shock suspension.
Verdict: In terms of features and storage, the iQube is leagues ahead.
Final Verdict: Does the Suzuki e-Access Justify Its Price?
The Suzuki e-Access is not a bad electric scooter, but it feels underwhelming when placed next to the TVS iQube. With higher pricing, lower range, less storage, and fewer practical features, Suzuki’s premium strategy doesn’t fully add up yet.
The iQube, on the other hand, offers better value, multiple variants, stronger performance, and superior everyday practicality. Unless Suzuki introduces aggressive pricing revisions or feature updates, I see most buyers gravitating toward the TVS showroom instead.
Final Verdict: On paper, the TVS iQube clearly outshines the Suzuki e-Access and remains the smarter electric scooter choice in 2026.
