At the product introduction ceremony held on September 22nd, Yamaha Motor Vietnam unveiled the new Grande as planned, with 3 versions: Standard, Premium, and Limited with proposed retail prices of 45.9 million, 50.3 million, and 51 million VND respectively, slightly higher than the old version. So in this new generation, what notable changes does the Yamaha Grande 2022 have to increase its competitive advantage against the Honda Leda or SH Mode?
Each version of the Yamaha Grande 2022 will have 3-4 exterior color options.
As a scooter model targeting female customers, the Yamaha Grande 2022 offers a variety of exterior color options with glossy colors. The design of the new generation model is also much improved compared to before, focusing mainly on the front of the scooter. First of all, the headlight of the scooter still has a diamond shape but is more compact and sharp than the previous generation, using LED lights and a chrome strip with the word “Grande” engraved inside the headlight. Next, the front face of the scooter has a new LED daytime running strip, and the turn signals on both sides are updated in a slim and thin strip form, rather than the bulky design of the old version.
The copper pink color will only be available on the highest-end “Limited” version.
The blue-black color tone is only available on the “Premium” version.
The headlights are diamond-shaped but smaller and more compact than before.

The seat of the scooter is also redesigned, making it more slender to enhance aesthetics, and depending on the version, this part is also available in 2-tone or monochrome.
The rear taillight is also sleeker and equipped with LED lights.
The digital gauge cluster still features a diamond shape, but it now has a new interface.
The Yamaha Grande 2022 will have the feature of connecting to a phone through the Y-Connect application, which helps display message notifications, calls, battery capacity directly on the gauge cluster, alerts the user to any issues with the scooter, reminds the user of oil change schedules and battery status, reports fuel consumption, determines parking locations, and records trip logs.
The scooter is still equipped with a Smart Key, but the charging port for phones and a storage compartment under the seat are new features.
The fuel filler cap is located on the left side of the scooter for convenience during use.
The storage compartment has a capacity of up to 27 liters.
The engine of the Yamaha Grande 2022 is still the Blue Core Hybrid 125cc type, but it has been adjusted to have better fuel efficiency than the old model, reaching 1.66 liters/100 km according to data provided by the Vietnam Register Department, making the Grande, which was already the most fuel-efficient scooter in Vietnam, even more “economical”.
