Latest News about Hero Passion X Pro [2016-2017]

Hero’s updated range will debut in January, and sports new-generation drivelines seen on the Splendor 110 iSmart and new Glamour.

Hero MotoCorp has registered a 0.4 per cent decline in sales in January 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. The decline in the numbers has been attributed to the two-day long transporters’ strike, which had affected the company’s deliveries across the country. 

Hero MotoCorp launched only the facelifted motorcycles and scooters in 2014 but 2015 is when we will see completely new products from the manufacturer. However, the company will continue to launch facelifted models and one of them was spied testing recently. This product is the facelifted Hero Passion XPro.

I am yet to meet a person who hasn't seen the Passion motorcycle yet. The motorcycle is now as common as the proverbial cow on Indian roads. Just after the Splendor series of motorcycles from Hero MotoCorp, the Passion segment of bikes have become much of a preferred choice for the Indian customers. The Passion made its debut in 2001 and ever since then it has been the second largest selling motorcycle. With periodic cosmetic changes, the Passion was rechristened Passion Plus, then Passion Pro and an additional version was brought in and is being called the Passion X Pro.

The motorcycle was introduced to the Indian motorcycle market to further boost Hero MotoCorp's already successful sales in the commuter segment of motorcycles. The company has tasted a fair bit of success with this bike in the recent months and we tested this motorcycle to know why.

Since its split with Honda, Hero MotoCorp has been aggressively expanding its footprint across the globe. Within the last two years, the company has set up shop in over 22 countries, with Africa and Sri Lanka slowly emerging as Hero MotoCorp’s largest export markets.
