Why it wins here
The Hero Vida V2 Pro comes in at ₹1.2 lakh on-road against a ₹1.3 lakh ceiling, leaving ₹10,000 of headroom. It returns about ₹0.22 per km and 110 km per fill or charge, with 8 PS and 165 mm of ground clearance — and it clears the 165 mm ground clearance this question demands. Against the whole field it stands out most on cheaper running and more storage.

Questions this answer raises
- Does the Hero Vida V2 Pro fit under ₹1.3 lakh on-road?
- Yes. Its indicative on-road price is ₹1.2 lakh, leaving ₹10,000 of headroom. On-road figures move with state taxes, insurance and dealer handling, so treat it as the number to start from.
- Can it cope with monsoon waterlogging?
- Its ground clearance is 165 mm, above the 165 mm this question sets as the bar. Speed breakers and waterlogging retire more two-wheelers in India than engines do, so that margin matters.
- What does the Hero Vida V2 Pro cost to run?
- Owner-reported running cost is about ₹0.22 per km, and a full tank or charge is good for roughly 110 km in real use — not the certification figure.
