Kawasaki W175 Prices Slashed By Rs 25000, Check Revised Rates

Kawasaki India introduced the W175 as its most affordable motorcycle last year, with a starting price of Rs 1.47 lakh (ex-showroom).

However, due to a lacklustre market response, the Japanese manufacturer has reduced the price of the motorcycle by a commendable Rs 25,000. The Kawasaki W175 is now priced between Rs 1.22 lakh and Rs 1.31 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).

According to MotorBeam, Metallic Ocean Blue and Metallic Graphite Grey are the two new colour options that Kawasaki has to offer. Meanwhile, the prices for the Metallic Ocean Blue and Metallic Graphite Grey variants, respectively, start at Rs 1.31 lakh and Rs 1.29 lakh. Additionally, the current Ebony and Persimmon Red hues are complemented by these new additions.

Furthermore, at the India Bike Week 2023 last weekend, Kawasaki introduced a new variant for the W175 called the W175 Street, which comes standard with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres and is priced at Rs 1.35 lakh.

Take a look at the full price list for the Kawasaki W175 range below:

• W175 Street: Rs 1.35 lakh (ex-showroom price)
• Metallic Ocean Blue: Rs 1.31 lakh (ex-showroom price)
• Metallic Graphite Grey: Rs 1.29 lakh (ex-showroom price)
• Candy Persimmon Red: Rs 1.24 lakh (ex-showroom price)
• Ebony: Rs 1.22 lakh (ex-showroom price)

This means that all W175 variants now undercut the Yamaha FZ-X (priced from Rs 1.36 lakh), the W175’s most direct competitor in the market. Despite the price alteration, no other changes to the Kawasaki bike have been made.
