BMW C 400 GT: A New Era of Luxury Scooters Launched in India

In a significant move for the Indian luxury scooter market, BMW has launched the C 400 GT, a premium maxi-scooter that redefines urban and highway commuting with its blend of performance and advanced features. Priced at an ex-showroom price of ₹11.75 lakh, the C 400 GT positions itself at the pinnacle of the scooter segment.

At the heart of this German marvel is a potent 350cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, BS6-compliant engine. This powertrain delivers a robust 33.5 bhp and 35Nm of torque, ensuring brisk acceleration and effortless cruising. Coupled with a smooth CVT gearbox, the scooter can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 9.5 seconds and achieve a top speed of 139 km/h, making it ideal for both city traffic and long-distance tours.

Beyond its performance, the C 400 GT is a showcase of cutting-edge technology and rider comfort. The scooter features a 6.5-inch TFT color display that is Bluetooth-enabled, offering seamless smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and a host of other functions. The convenience is further enhanced by a Keyless Ride system, which allows for effortless starting and access. For a comfortable ride at higher speeds, a tall windscreen effectively deflects wind, reducing rider fatigue.

The design of the C 400 GT is both striking and functional. It boasts a muscular yet sophisticated aesthetic, characterized by an LED headlamp with integrated Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), a stylish seat, and a stainless steel floorboard. A new exclusive variant adds a touch of bespoke luxury with special golden alloy wheels and a unique BMW logo projection light. The scooter’s chassis is built on a sturdy tubular steel frame, complemented by telescopic front forks and dual spring struts at the rear, providing excellent stability and handling.

Safety is paramount, with the C 400 GT equipped with a sophisticated disc brake system on both wheels, enhanced by an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for superior stopping power and control. Weighing in at 214 kg, the scooter provides a planted feel on the road, while its 12.8-liter fuel tank offers a decent range for extended rides. The BMW C 400 GT is set to attract discerning riders who seek a combination of luxury, performance, and advanced technology in a two-wheeled package.
