We do a quick Avenger vs Intruder price comparison after both Suzuki and Bajaj raised the prices of their cruisers this month…
If you are a cruiser fan, in the entry level space you only have two options to choose from – Suzuki’s Intruder and Bajaj Avenger. Intruder is the most flamboyant-looking cruiser here but it is also the least powerful. Avenger, on the other hand, comes in two variants – with a 160cc engine in ‘Street’ guise and with a more powerful 220cc motor under the ‘Cruise’ styling.
Intruder Latest Price
Intruder was updated to BS6 compliance in March 2020. It was priced at Rs 1,20,000 – a hike of around 11 percent over its BS4 variant. Now after about 16 months, Suzuki has increased the prices of its lone cruiser multiple times. Here are its latest prices…
Model | BS6 Launch Price (March 2020) | Latest Price (July 2021) |
Intruder | Rs 1,20,000 | Rs 1,26,500 |
In this transition Intruder lost 1 hp of power and a wee bit of torque as well. Also, it gained 3 kilos because of the added equipment to control emissions.
