Design and Aesthetics
The 2024 Chetak maintains its timeless design that pays homage to its legendary predecessor. The scooter features a distinctive retro-modern appearance with an all-metal body construction that sets it apart from its plastic-clad competitors. The front showcases a sophisticated round LED headlamp with distinctive DRLs, while the curved front apron and elegant side panels create a seamless flow throughout the design .Inside the cockpit, riders are greeted by a new 5-inch TFT display that replaces the previous monochrome unit. The premium variant offers a sophisticated dual-tone interior with high-quality switchgear and carefully crafted panels that exude luxury. Available in striking colors including Indigo Blue, Brooklyn Black, and Hazelnut, the Chetak caters to diverse aesthetic preferences.
