The Hero Passion Plus has long held a prominent place in India’s commuter motorcycle market, cherished for its fuel efficiency, reliability, and affordability. For 2025, Hero MotoCorp reintroduces the Passion Plus with subtle yet significant upgrades. It blends classic familiarity with new-age technology to continue its appeal to everyday riders, office goers, and budget-conscious families across the country.

A Trusted Name Reinvented for 2025

Since its inception, the Hero Passion series has served as a reliable companion for millions. The 2025 Hero Passion Plus revives the essence of this trusted name with improved styling, refined mechanicals, and compliance with the latest emission norms. While the core character of the motorcycle remains unchanged, the new version adds just enough modern touches to make it relevant and exciting again.

The 2025 Passion Plus targets entry-level commuters who seek maximum value for money. It is designed to offer excellent mileage, low maintenance, and a smooth riding experience — all at an affordable price.

Design and Styling – Classic Looks with Modern Touches

The 2025 Passion Plus retains its iconic silhouette but now comes with refreshed graphics and a slightly sharper design to match today’s styling trends. Hero has ensured the bike maintains a clean and simple look, which appeals to riders who prefer understated aesthetics.

Up front, the bike features a halogen headlamp with clear lens indicators, providing good visibility and a sense of retro charm. The fuel tank carries sporty decals that add a touch of vibrancy. A well-padded single seat ensures comfort for both rider and pillion, while the compact tail section gets a stylish grab rail and tail light setup.

Color options like Black with Blue, Black with Red, and Black with Grey give riders some variety without straying too far from the familiar palette that Hero enthusiasts recognize and love.

Engine and Performance – Reliable Power Meets Efficiency

Under the fuel tank lies a tried-and-tested 97.2cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine — the same powerplant that has powered Hero motorcycles for decades. This BS6-compliant engine produces 8.02 PS of power at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm.

What makes this engine special is not outright performance, but its legendary fuel efficiency and durability. The 2025 Hero Passion Plus is expected to deliver a mileage of around 60-70 km/l, making it ideal for daily city commutes.

Paired with a 4-speed gearbox, the engine offers smooth gear shifts and manageable power delivery for stop-and-go traffic. It’s perfect for urban riders who want a no-nonsense machine that performs consistently.

Ride and Handling – Built for Daily Urban Travel

The Hero Passion Plus is built on a robust tubular double cradle frame that ensures structural strength while keeping the bike lightweight. Its suspension setup includes a telescopic fork at the front and 5-step adjustable twin shock absorbers at the rear.

This setup is tuned for comfort, absorbing bumps and potholes with ease — a necessity for Indian roads. The seat height of 790 mm and a kerb weight of 115 kg make it accessible and manageable for a wide range of riders, including beginners and those of shorter stature.

The bike rides on 18-inch wheels, fitted with tubeless tires. Braking is handled by 130mm drum brakes at both ends, supported by Hero’s Integrated Braking System (IBS) for added safety and shorter stopping distances.

Features – Simple Yet Functional

The 2025 Passion Plus isn’t packed with high-tech features, but it covers all essential commuter needs. It includes:

• Analog instrument cluster with speedometer, odometer, and fuel gauge

• Side-stand engine cut-off, enhancing safety

• i3S (Idle Start-Stop System) for better fuel efficiency in traffic

• Tubeless tires for convenience and better puncture resistance

• Electric and kick start options for reliability in all situations

The i3S technology, in particular, helps riders save fuel by automatically shutting off the engine at long traffic stops and restarting it with a clutch press — a small feature that makes a big difference in daily usage.
