1 Emissions Update

The key highlight is that the engine now meets the stricter OBD-2B (On-Board Diagnostics) emission standards. This advanced system tracks emissions in real-time, ensuring the vehicle stays eco-friendly throughout its lifespan. As a result, the 2025 Passion Plus is cleaner and more prepared for the future.

2 New Color Options

Although the overall design remains similar, Hero has rolled out two new color combinations—Black with Nexus Blue and Black with Heavy Grey. These dual-tone choices provide a fresh look for the bike. However, the color options have been trimmed down from four to just two compared to the earlier model.

3 Same Mechanics

Hero sticks with its reliable 97.2cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, which produces 7.9 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, paired with a 4-speed gearbox. While the performance stats are unchanged, the engine has been fine-tuned to comply with the latest emission regulations without sacrificing efficiency or ride comfort.

4 Features

The bike comes equipped with several convenient features, including an electric start system with Hero’s fuel-efficient i3S (idle start-stop system), a semi-digital instrument panel for easy reading, a side-stand indicator for safety, and a USB charging port for extra convenience. These enhancements make it appealing to daily commuters who want more than just basic transportation.

5 Specifications

The 2025 Passion Plus keeps its mechanical setup intact, featuring telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear for a smooth ride. It uses 130 mm drum brakes at both ends, complemented by Hero’s Integrated Braking System (IBS) for improved control. The bike is equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, retains an 11-litre fuel tank, and weighs in at 115 kg. With a seat height of 790 mm and a ground clearance of 168 mm, it’s easy to maneuver in urban traffic.
