What’s New in the Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid?
Yamaha’s FZ-X Hybrid combines style, technology, and practicality for riders seeking a premium commuter experience.

Performance and Variants
The FZ-X Hybrid retains its 149cc air-cooled engine with its refined performance and relaxed ergonomics, making it ideal for daily city commutes and occasional highway rides.
- Standard FZ-X: Still available at Rs 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom).
- FZ-X Hybrid: Positioned as the top-spec variant, priced at Rs 1.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
The hybrid assist system provides a slight torque boost during initial acceleration, helping riders navigate city traffic with ease while maintaining Yamaha’s reliability and low running costs.
