iaggio Vespa has always asserted that it is not the volumes that it
aims for, and instead, wishes to market itself as the seller of the most
premium automatic scooters in the country. The Vespa 125, which is
available in the LX, VX, and S trims, is being sold at a considerable premium
over other 125cc products out there and while the Vespa 125 has never
been a bestseller, it has pretty successfully projected itself as a sufficiently
powerful and frugal offering that has a high aesthetic appeal. Piaggio India
has launched the Vespa SXL and VXL 150cc models in India to establish an
even stronger foothold on the Indian premium scooter market.
