Why does this story matter?
The 2022 Kymco KRV 180i offers better looks and a bevy of new features in comparison to the outgoing model. It should rack up quite a few sales in the overseas markets. If the vehicle arrives in our market, it will have to be priced competitively in order to raise the competition in the maxi-style scooter segment.
The scooter has LED headlights and USB charging port
The 2022 Kymco KRV 180i sits on a lightweight, twin-spar frame and has a headlight-mounted front apron with extensions, a stepped-up single-piece seat, an upswept exhaust, and a motorcycle-like swingarm. The scooter packs split-style LED headlights with DRLs, a USB charging port, a Bluetooth-enabled TFT instrument console, and rides on blacked-out wheels. It is offered in black, blue, and gray shades.
It runs on a 17hp, 175cc engine
The new Kymco KRV 180i is fueled by a 175.1cc, centrally-mounted engine that puts out a maximum power of 16.79hp and a peak torque of 15.68Nm. The power is delivered using an exposed belt drive.
It gets telescopic front forks
To ensure the safety of the rider, the Kymco KRV 180i maxi-scooter is equipped with disc brakes on both the front as well as rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS for better handling. Suspension duties on the two-wheeler are taken care of by telescopic forks on the front end and a shock absorber on the rear side.
