TVS Sport

62% Match

The TVS Sport edges out the Hero Splendor Plus with a higher ARAI-rated 80 kmpl mileage, marginally more power and torque, a longer claimed riding range, and a dual kick-and-self start for added reliability. The Splendor Plus counters with a longer 5-year/70,000 km warranty, one extra free service, and tubeless tyres for better puncture safety, making it the steadier long-term ownership choice. Overall, if fuel efficiency and outright range matter most, the Sport wins; if warranty coverage and tyre safety matter more, the Splendor Plus is the pick.

Why Sport for you?

Higher mileage claim

80 kmpl ARAI-rated efficiency (and 70 kmpl owner-reported) beats the Splendor Plus's 62 kmpl owner-reported figure, meaning fewer fuel stops on daily runs.

Slightly punchier engine

8.08 bhp and 8.7 Nm torque at a lower rpm (4500) gives marginally better low-end response useful in stop-go traffic than the Splendor's 7.91 bhp/8.05 Nm at higher rpm.

Kick start backup

Kick and self start gives a reliable backup option if the battery drains, which is handy for daily reliability.
