BMW Motorrad has officially launched the 2025 C 400 GT in India, priced at ₹11.5 lakh (ex-showroom). This premium mid-size maxi-scooter, which has built a niche following in India since its initial debut, returns this year with subtle upgrades and refreshed appeal for urban riders seeking performance, comfort, and luxury on two wheels.
This isn’t your average scooter. The BMW C 400 GT is engineered for those who want the ease of a twist-and-go ride with the power and road presence of a larger motorcycle—ideal for metro commutes, highway stretches, or even weekend getaways.
What’s New in the 2025 BMW C 400 GT?
While the overall design and core mechanicals remain the same, BMW has introduced minor updates in features and compliance to keep the C 400 GT competitive:
- Updated for BS6 (Phase 2) / OBD-2 norms, ensuring cleaner emissions and better diagnostics.
- New paint schemes and detailing for a fresher, more modern aesthetic.
- Improved ride-by-wire throttle response, fine-tuned for smoother urban riding and better low-end control.
These changes are more evolutionary than revolutionary—but for a model that already leads its class in premium features, it’s a solid update.
Performance and Specs
Under the bodywork, the C 400 GT continues with the same 350cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, producing 34PS at 7,500rpm and 35Nm at 5,750rpm. Mated to a CVT transmission, it delivers linear power, ideal for both traffic sprints and open-road cruising.
The scooter features:
- Keyless ignition
- Full LED lighting
- 14.5-litre fuel tank
- 15-inch front and 14-inch rear wheels
- Dual-channel ABS
- Automatic Stability Control (ASC)
You also get a TFT screen with BMW Motorrad Connectivity, allowing smartphone integration for calls, music, and navigation.
Is India Ready for a ₹11.5 Lakh Scooter?
The C 400 GT is not aimed at the mass market. It’s a lifestyle product—positioned for urban professionals, enthusiasts, or existing BMW owners looking for a stylish and practical second ride.
At ₹11.5 lakh, it’s one of the most expensive scooters in India, but it’s also the most feature-rich and technically advanced. The C 400 GT is not about affordability—it’s about premium urban mobility.
Tech That Makes You Feel Like a Pro
Here’s where things get really fun. The 2025 model comes loaded with tech that makes every ride feel like an event. The new 10.25-inch TFT display is a game-changer—bright, crisp, and packed with info like navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. I’m a sucker for gadgets, and this screen has me daydreaming about plotting weekend getaways with ease. Then there’s the ABS Pro for cornering confidence, Dynamic Brake Control, and Traction Control—all standard now. Add in the Engine Drag Torque Control, and you’ve got a scooter that’s as safe as it is thrilling. Oh, and did I mention the keyless ride and USB-C charging port? It’s the little things that make you feel like BMW’s thought of everything.
Availability & Bookings
BMW has already begun accepting bookings for the 2025 C 400 GT across its dealership network in India. Deliveries are expected to begin shortly.
