Towards the end of 2023, Kawasaki introduced the updated W175 commuter motorcycle, which made its Indian debut at the India Bike Week 2023. The new Kawasaki W175, which happens to be the most affordable motorcycle from the Japanese brand in India, is now available in two variants – Standard and Street. Both these variants are differentiated based on the type of wheels and colour options, with the updated range now starting at Rs 1.22 lakh and stretching up to Rs 1.35 lakh (prices ex-showroom, India).

Compared to the previously available version, the new Kawasaki W175 now comes with new colour options – three for Standard and two for Street variants. The design remains the same as before, with the Kawasaki W175 having a traditional bare-bones approach with a simple-looking fuel tank, side panels and fenders. Both variants comes with the same analogue instrument console and a small LCD panel for the fuel gauge and odometer.

There are no mechanical changes to the Kawasaki W175 in this newly updated version. The entry-level commuter motorcycle from Kawasaki continues to get the familiar four-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled, 177cc engine, which churns out a maximum power output of 13 PS and a maximum torque output of 13.2 Nm.
