Bajaj Auto has launched the Bajaj Avenger 400 Cruise in India, expanding its iconic cruiser lineup with a bigger, more capable model. This long-rumored addition brings substantial power and touring comfort to the mid-size cruiser segment, appealing to riders seeking highway prowess without premium pricing.
Launched as Flagship Cruiser
The Bajaj Avenger 400 Cruise is now available at Bajaj dealerships nationwide. It builds on the Avenger’s relaxed cruiser heritage, now enhanced for longer rides and better performance.
Prices Start from Rs 2.20 Lakh
The Bajaj Avenger 400 Cruise starts at Rs 2.20 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the standard variant. Higher-spec options with additional features may push prices slightly higher. This makes it one of the most accessible 400cc cruisers, undercutting many rivals while offering strong value.
Powerful Engine for Highway Dominance
The heart of the Bajaj Avenger 400 Cruise is a 373cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine—shared with the Dominar platform but tuned for cruiser character. It delivers around 35 PS of power and 35 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox for smooth cruising and strong mid-range pull.
Impressive KMPL Mileage
Despite its larger displacement, the Bajaj Avenger 400 Cruise achieves respectable efficiency. Real-world figures hover around 28-35 kmpl, depending on riding style and conditions. This balance of power and economy suits both city commutes and extended highway tours amid rising fuel costs.
What’s New in the Model?
The Bajaj Avenger 400 Cruise features a refreshed design with classic chrome accents, a low-slung seat, forward-set footpegs, and a windscreen for better wind protection. Modern additions include LED lighting, digital instrumentation, dual-channel ABS, and upgraded suspension for improved comfort over long distances.
Why It Matters in the Cruiser Segment
Cruisers remain popular for their laid-back riding posture and style. The Bajaj Avenger 400 Cruise bridges the gap between entry-level 220cc models and pricier imports, offering substantial performance upgrades while retaining the Avenger’s approachable appeal. It targets riders wanting more grunt for highways without stepping into luxury territory.
Expected Impact in the Indian Market
In a segment dominated by smaller cruisers and adventure-tourers, the Bajaj Avenger 400 Cruise could revitalize Bajaj’s sales in the premium commuter space. It challenges competitors like Royal Enfield Classic 350 and emerging mid-size options, potentially capturing buyers upgrading from smaller Avengers. Strong festive demand is anticipated.
Buyer Perspective: Affordable Power and Comfort?
For buyers, the Bajaj Avenger 400 Cruise promises excellent value with its powerful engine, comfortable ergonomics, and low maintenance typical of Bajaj models. It’s ideal for weekend tourers, highway enthusiasts, or those in cities like Lucknow needing relaxed long-ride capability. Resale value should remain solid, though fuel efficiency lags behind smaller bikes. If you’re after effortless cruising with extra muscle at a budget-friendly price, this stands out as a smart upgrade.
