Quoting a post from 2018 but can you believe these prices and the inflation?
Roughly 3 years later the Activa is a freaking 75k ex, going up to 90~k on road while the XL itself is anywhere between 42k to 52k ex. The prices have to rise... but last 2-3 years have been absolutely KILLER.
Its wild to imagine how much absolute bare bones transportation like XL and Activa will cost in say 5 years. Quote:

Definitely. TVS knows that and smartly keeps it focused on rural areas. I almost never see these in my city but whenever I go cycling on rural areas these are in abundance. Their newest use that I saw? Street vendors selling blankets and other utility clothes going door to door even in remote villages. They have huge stacks of tightly packed cloth, all loaded onto custom made brackets on the rear of XL.
