BMW Motorrad India has just launched the newest version of their fancy, big scooter, the C 400 GT. It’s now known as the most expensive regular petrol scooter you can buy in India. With a starting price of ₹11.50 lakh (that’s the price before extra costs), this scooter is brought into India fully built, showing off its special and high-quality status.
The 2025 C 400 GT looks good, is more comfy, and has cool tech. It’s made for riders who want a high-quality way to get around town and also go on longer trips.
Looks and What It Offers
The big scooter shape is still there, but the new C 400 GT has some new and improved things:
- Adjustable Windshield: This helps block more wind, making rides more comfortable, especially on longer trips.
- Lower Seat: The seat is now a bit lower (765 mm), so more people can easily get on and off.
- More Storage: You can now store more stuff under the seat (37.6 liters total), enough for a full helmet and more. The small storage spot at the front is also bigger (4.5 liters).
- Big Digital Screen with Easy Connect: Instead of a smaller screen, there’s a new, colorful 10.25-inch screen. You can connect your phone with Bluetooth for maps, music, and calls.
- No Key Needed: You don’t need a key to start the scooter.
- LED Lights Everywhere: These lights are bright and make the scooter look modern.
- USB-C and Regular Charging Ports: These are in the front storage, so you can easily charge your gadgets while riding.
- Standard Safety Stuff: The 2025 model now has smart safety features that use sensors (IMU). This includes cornering ABS (so your brakes work better when turning), traction control (to stop the wheels from slipping), brake control (to help you brake safely), and engine control (to keep the rear wheel stable when slowing down). These things make riding safer in different situations.
- New “Exclusive” Version: This special version comes in a shiny white color, with gold wheels and brake parts. It also has a darker windshield, shiny metal footrests, and a BMW light that shines on the ground near your feet.
Engine and How It Performs
The BMW C 400 GT has a 350cc, liquid-cooled engine with one cylinder. It produces 33.5 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 35 Nm of pulling power at 5,750 rpm. It has an automatic transmission (CVT) for smooth power. The fuel tank holds 12.8 liters, which is a good size for city and longer rides.
Premium Big Scooters in India
The BMW C 400 GT is special in the Indian scooter market. Most scooters here are smaller and cheaper, made for everyday travel. But there’s a small group of people who want bigger, more luxurious scooters. Other big scooters in India include:
- Keeway Vieste 300 and Sixties 300i: These have a retro look and a bigger engine than regular scooters, but they cost much less than the BMW.
- Aprilia SXR 160: This is a sportier big scooter with a 160cc engine.
- Yamaha Aerox 155: Known for its sporty performance and features like liquid cooling and special engine timing.
- Hero Xoom 160: A new big scooter from Hero MotoCorp that wants to compete in the high-end market.
However, none of these cost as much or are seen as quite as premium as the BMW C 400 GT, which is brought in fully built and is seen as a top-quality product, explaining its higher price.
In Conclusion
The updated BMW C 400 GT shows that BMW Motorrad wants to offer high-quality and advanced two-wheelers in India. With its improved features, more space, and fancy design, it’s for riders who want the best comfort, performance, and exclusivity in a big scooter. Even though it’s the most expensive regular petrol scooter in India, its great features and the BMW name will likely attract buyers who want a unique and luxurious way to travel in the city and on longer trips.
