Hero MotoCorp on Friday announced the launch of Hero Passion XTec with a number of tech-based features to further attract new-age motorcycle buyers. Priced at ₹74,590 for the drum variant and ₹78,990 for the disc variant (ex-showroom), the Hero Passion XTec comes with a five-year warranty as well.
Among the most notable updates is a segment-first LED projector headlamp on the new Hero Passion XTec.

There is also an integrated USB charging port for powering smartphones on the move. The console also shows phone battery percentage, has real-time mileage indicator and offers service schedule reminder, besides putting out a low-fuel warning.
