Naza Premira Sdn Bhd, the official importer and distributor of Vespa scooters in Malaysia has officially launched the LXV 150 3V IE. This newest addition to its range combines the iconic Italian brand’s vintage style with the most advanced Piaggio technology.
Measuring 1770 mm long and 740 mm wide, the Vespa LXV 150 3V IE is a very compact scooter. Its small dimensions are paired with a retro style that gives it a pretty unique appearance. It also maintains the structure of the Vespa LX and accentuates the classic Vespa charm with details such as the chromium finish on the tubular handlebar, fly screen, round headlamps and the double module two-seat saddle made of genuine leather.
The new Vespa 150 3V IE is powered by a 150cc 4-stroke 3-valve power train with electric fuel injection that puts out a maximum power of 11.6hp at 7,500rpm and 12Nm of torque at 5,000rpm. The engine is now lighter than its predecessor and 30% more fuel efficient compared to earlier generations, suitable for city riding.
“In this model, Vespa has shrewdly combined the key elements of its popular classic designs with the latest Piaggio technology; creating a snazzy ride with low fuel consumption, smooth power delivery and enhanced riding pleasure for scooting through the urban traffic or enjoying longer, laid-back journeys out of town,” said Mr Nik Danial Nik Mahmood, Vice President of NAZA Two Wheels Division, Naza Group of companies.
Available in three distinctive colours including Midnight Blue, Rossa Chianti and Beige, the Vespa LXV 150 3V IE retails at RM12,400 on-the-road including insurance.
