BMW Motorrad is planning to launch the new BMW C 400 GT maxi-scooter in the Indian market soon. Just a few weeks ago, the company teased this maxi-scooter on its official social media handles that gave us a quick glimpse of the vehicle. And now, the C 400 GT has been teased again, hinting at its imminent launch in India. The pre-launch bookings for the new BMW C 400 GT are already open unofficially at select BMW Motorrad dealerships across the country. One can book this maxi-scooter by paying a token amount of Rs 1 lakh.
The new BMW C 400 GT is a true-blue maxi-scooter, unlike some maxi-style scooters on sale in India, and it has an imposing stance. BMW Motorrad even updated it earlier this year to offer better performance, smooth acceleration, improved braking feedback, etc. It is already on sale in some other international markets and now will finally make its way to India too. If we talk about its engine specifications, the upcoming BMW C 400 GT will be powered by a BS6 compliant 350cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine.Â
