Ather 450X vs Ather 450S - What are the key differences?

Ather Energy is one of the major players in the Indian electric two-wheeler market where it competes with rivals like Ola Electric, TVS Motor Company, Bajaj Auto etc. The EV startup has recently launched its latest offering Ather 450S, which comes as the most affordable scooter from the brand and also as a cheaper derivative of the flagship 450X electric scooter. While visually, the Ather 450S is absolutely indifferent to the 450X, there are some slight changes introduced in the instrument cluster and switchgear.

Priced at ₹1.30 lakh (ex-showroom), the Ather 450S comes as a major product rivalling the Ola S1 Air, which is the affordable derivative of the Ola S1 Pro. Besides that, the Ather 450S is also expected to dent the sales numbers of the Ather 450X, if not significantly then marginally. Interestingly, Ather 450X is now available in two different battery options. While the 3.7 kWh battery pack-powered variant has been in business for quite some time, Ather recently introduced the smaller 2.9 kWh battery pack-powered variant of the 450X.

Here is a price and spec-sheet-based comparison between the Ather 450X and the Ather 450S.

Ather 450X vs Ather 450S: Price

Available in both 2.9 kWh and 3.7 kWh battery pack options, the Ather 450X comes priced between ₹1.38 lakh and ₹1.53 lakh (ex-showroom). The Ather 450S on the other hand is priced at ₹1.30 lakh (ex-showroom).
