Yamaha just gave its FZ-X lineup a hybrid makeover, and it’s grabbing attention for all the right reasons. The 2025 Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid rolls in with a smart mix of tech, comfort, and visual upgrades—all while keeping things fuel-efficient with its new hybrid powertrain.
Let’s break down everything that makes this bike stand out from the crowd.
Hybrid
The biggest upgrade in the 2025 FZ-X is under the hood—or rather, under the tank. Yamaha has equipped it with its Smart Motor Generator (SMG) hybrid system.
Think of this like a silent co-pilot—it helps the bike accelerate faster with battery support and improves fuel efficiency by switching off the engine at idle. As soon as you pull the clutch, the engine wakes up smoothly. No more noisy startups or wasted fuel at red lights.
This hybrid tech, already tested in the FZ-S Fi Hybrid, is Yamaha’s answer to making city commutes more practical and eco-friendly without sacrificing performance.
Design
The FZ-X Hybrid wears a bold Matte Titan finish, giving it a fresh and premium vibe. This new color makes it pop against the standard Dark Matte Blue and Metallic Black options still available in the non-hybrid trim. The metal tank carries Yamaha’s classic logomark, a small but iconic detail.
It also features a two-level tuck-and-roll seat, designed for better grip and comfort—especially handy for long rides. The overall stance of the bike remains retro-modern, combining rugged elements with new-age tech.
Display
Say goodbye to basic consoles. The FZ-X Hybrid now gets a brand-new 4.2-inch full-colour TFT screen. It’s Bluetooth-enabled and works with the Yamaha Y-Connect app. You’ll get call and SMS alerts, phone battery status, and other useful notifications.
Even cooler? The screen supports turn-by-turn navigation, powered by Google Maps. It displays intersection alerts and road names, right where you need them—on the dash. No need to glance at your phone while riding.
Engine
Yamaha didn’t change the core engine much—because it didn’t have to. The 149cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine is already a reliable performer. It puts out 12.4 PS at 7,250 rpm and 13.3 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. That’s more than enough for city cruising and occasional highway rides.
It’s paired with a five-speed transmission and uses a simple but effective SOHC, two-valve setup. The engine may not be the most powerful in its class, but the hybrid boost fills in the performance gaps smartly.
Comfort
Suspension is handled by telescopic front forks and a 7-step adjustable Monocross rear shock. Whether you’re on pothole-riddled city roads or smooth highways, the setup is built to absorb the bumps.
Traction control adds a layer of safety, especially in slippery conditions. And a single-channel ABS takes care of panic braking. These features make the FZ-X Hybrid beginner-friendly yet capable for seasoned riders.
Price
Here’s how the pricing stacks up:
| Variant | Price (Ex-Showroom Delhi) |
|---|---|
| FZ-X Hybrid (Matte Titan) | ₹1,49,990 |
| FZ-X Standard (Non-Hybrid) | ₹1,29,990 |
For ₹20,000 more, the hybrid variant offers smart features, better mileage, and a tech-savvy dash. That’s a solid deal if you ask us.
Yamaha’s hybrid update to the FZ-X feels like a well-thought-out step forward. It combines better fuel efficiency, added tech, and improved comfort, all packed into a design that stays true to its urban scrambler roots.
With features like SMG, Bluetooth connectivity, and a full-colour TFT dash, this ride is clearly built for the modern commuter who doesn’t want to compromise.
