If high fuel prices have you rethinking your daily commute, here’s a motorcycle that might genuinely ease the load on your wallet. The TVS Star City Plus is quietly standing out in India’s commuter segment for one simple reason — it can travel close to 800 kilometres on a single tank under the right conditions.
At an ex-showroom price of around ₹75,000, the Star City Plus targets everyday riders who want solid mileage, low running costs, and a no-nonsense ownership experience.
Built for Daily Indian Commuting
The TVS Star City Plus is powered by a 109.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled BS6 engine. On paper, it isn’t about speed or aggression — and that’s exactly the point. The engine is tuned for smooth city riding, predictable power delivery, and stress-free daily use.

Paired with a 4-speed gearbox, the bike feels easy to ride, especially for beginners or riders who spend most of their time in traffic. Top speed hovers around 90 kmph, which is more than enough for city roads and short highway stretches.
Mileage That Does the Real Talking
This is where the Star City Plus really earns its reputation.
TVS claims a fuel efficiency of around 83 kmpl under ideal test conditions. In real-world riding — including traffic, short stops, and mixed speeds — owners typically report 70–75 kmpl, which is still impressive.
With a 10-litre fuel tank, that translates to a practical riding range of 700–800 km on a full tank. For daily office-goers, delivery riders, or small-town commuters, that means fewer fuel stops and noticeably lower monthly fuel bills.
Safety and Practical Features
The higher variant of the Star City Plus comes equipped with a front disc brake, offering better stopping power than traditional drum setups. TVS also includes a synchronised braking system (SBS), which balances braking force between the front and rear wheels.
Other everyday-friendly features include:
- LED headlamp for better night visibility
- Digital-analogue instrument cluster for clear ride information
- Comfort-focused seat designed for longer daily rides
Nothing flashy — just features that actually matter in daily use.
How It Stacks Up Against Rivals
In the commuter category, the Star City Plus goes head-to-head with popular names like the Hero Splendor Plus and Honda Shine. While all three are known for reliability, TVS positions the Star City Plus as a strong value pick by offering disc brake safety and strong mileage at a competitive price.

For buyers with a budget of around ₹80,000, and priorities firmly set on mileage, durability, and low maintenance, the Star City Plus checks most of the right boxes.
The Bottom Line
The TVS Star City Plus isn’t trying to be sporty or premium — and that’s exactly why it works. It’s a straightforward commuter motorcycle that focuses on what Indian riders actually need: excellent mileage, dependable performance, and affordable ownership.
If your daily routine demands efficiency over excitement, this 800 km-range commuter is well worth a closer look.
