Hero MotoCorp has launched the Destini 110 Classique Edition in India at Rs 76,400 (ex-showroom, Delhi). It is a special edition of the Destini 110 family scooter that adds a neo-retro look, new matte colours and a few premium touches, while keeping the same practical engine and features underneath.
Special editions are often just a sticker job with a higher price tag. The Classique Edition is a bit smarter than that. It costs only Rs 1,400 more than the VX variant it is based on, and for that small amount, it gives one of the most practical scooters in the 110cc segment a far more upmarket feel. Here is everything to know about the new Hero Destini 110 Classique Edition, and why it makes a strong case for itself.
Hero Destini 110 Classique Edition Price
| Variant | Ex-showroom price (Delhi) |
|---|---|
| Destini 110 VX (drum) | Around Rs 75,000 |
| Destini 110 Classique Edition (drum) | Rs 76,400 |
| Destini 110 ZX (disc) | Rs 83,800 |
The Classique Edition sits right between the two regular variants. It is based on the VX, so it gets drum brakes at both ends, while the front disc brake remains exclusive to the top ZX. On-road prices will be higher depending on the city, RTO charges and insurance.
What Is New in the Destini 110 Classique Edition?
The changes are purely cosmetic, but they have been done with care. Hero has given the scooter a classic, retro-inspired look with these updates:
- Two new matte colour options with contrasting inner panels
- Stripes on the front handle cover and side panels
- Body-coloured rear-view mirrors
- Seat and inner panels colour-matched to the body
- Branded rim tape on the alloy wheels
- A 3D “Classique Edition” emblem
- Chrome detailing that adds to the retro feel
Colour Options
| Colour | Inner panel |
|---|---|
| Matt Goldfish Silver with Light Industrial Grey | Brown |
| Matt Aries Brown | Black |
The brown inner panels on the silver scooter and the black panels on the brown one give the Classique a premium two-tone look that is rare at this price. The matte paint also gives it a more mature feel than the glossy colours of the standard model.

Features of the Destini 110 Classique Edition
The Classique Edition carries over all the useful features of the Destini 110, which is already one of the better-equipped scooters in its class:
- LED projector headlamp with LED position lamp and LED tail lamp
- Digital-analogue instrument console

- Long 785 mm seat with an integrated pillion backrest

- i3S idle stop-start to save fuel in traffic
Why Should You Buy the Hero Destini 110 Classique Edition?
1. Premium Looks for Just Rs 1,400 More
This is the biggest reason. For only Rs 1,400 over the VX, the Classique Edition gets matte paint, two-tone panels, chrome touches and special badging. Getting a similar look through accessories or a custom paint job would cost far more. It is one of the cheapest ways to make a family scooter look special.
2. The Most Comfortable Seat in Its Segment
Hero claims the 785 mm seat is the longest in the segment, and it shows in daily use. There is plenty of space for the rider and pillion, and the integrated backrest makes longer rides much more comfortable for the person sitting behind. For families who often ride two-up, this is a real advantage.
3. Fuel Efficiency That Saves Money Every Month
The 110cc engine is tuned for economy rather than speed, and the i3S idle stop-start system switches the engine off at traffic signals. With a claimed mileage of around 56 km/l, running costs will stay low, which matters most for daily office commutes and city errands.
4. Bigger 12-Inch Wheels for Indian Roads
Many scooters in this price range still use smaller wheels. The Destini 110 runs on 12-inch alloys at both ends, which makes it more stable over potholes, speed breakers and rough patches. Combined with 162 mm of ground clearance, it handles broken city roads with more confidence.
5. Practical Storage and Charging
The 19-litre under-seat space can hold daily essentials, and the boot lamp helps at night. The front storage with a mobile charging point is handy for keeping the phone charged during navigation or long commutes.
6. Proven Engine and Hero’s Service Network
There are no mechanical changes, which is a good thing. The engine and CVT are already proven in the Destini 110, and Hero has one of the widest service and spare parts networks in India. That means lower maintenance costs and easy servicing, even in smaller towns.
7. A Mature, Classic Design That Ages Well
Loud graphics and bright colours can look dated in a few years. The Classique Edition’s matte shades, two-tone panels and chrome accents give it a timeless, mature design that will still look good years down the line, and may help it hold better resale value.
Who Should Skip It?
The Classique Edition is not for everyone. Since it is based on the VX, it only gets drum brakes. Riders who want the extra stopping power of a front disc brake should consider the ZX variant instead, even though it costs more. Also, with no changes to the engine, buyers looking for more performance will not find anything new here, and those who do not care much about looks can save Rs 1,400 by sticking with the VX.
Hero Destini 110 Classique Edition vs Rivals
The Destini 110 competes with some of the most popular scooters in India, including the Honda Activa and the TVS Jupiter. The Classique Edition’s strengths against them are its long seat, 12-inch wheels at both ends and the special edition styling at a small premium. Buyers should take a test ride of each and compare on-road prices at local dealers before deciding.
Final Verdict
The Hero Destini 110 Classique Edition is a smart special edition done right. It does not change what already works, a comfortable, practical and fuel-efficient family scooter, and simply wraps it in a more stylish, premium package for a very small extra cost. For buyers who want a scooter that looks a little different from the crowd without paying much more, the Classique Edition is easily the best-value variant in the Destini 110 range. Riders who put safety first, however, should spend more on the disc-brake ZX.
