India’s Ultraviolette X-47 Gets a Cheaper Entry Point

India’s Ultraviolette just added a new base variant to the X-47 Crossover lineup, and it is Rs 15,000 less than the previous entry model.

The new variant is simply called the “X-47,” no suffix, and it is priced at Rs 2.49 lakh (ex-showroom India). That puts it below the X-47 Original, which sits at Rs 2.64 lakh. The price cut is straightforward: Ultraviolette removed the Hypersense radar system to get there.

What You Lose at That Price

The Hypersense radar is the headline feature across the rest of the X-47 lineup. Lose it, and you also lose four safety functions it drives:

Rear collision warning
Lane change assist
Overtake alert
Blind spot detection

Everything else stays the same. Same motor, same battery, same suspension. If you never needed the radar in the first place, this variant makes a solid case for itself.

Full X-47 Lineup and Pricing (India, Ex-Showroom)

X-47 (New Base): Rs 2.49 lakh
X-47 Original: Rs 2.64 lakh
X-47 Original+: Rs 3.09 lakh
X-47 Recon: Rs 3.59 lakh

The BaaS Option

For those who prefer a lower upfront cost, Ultraviolette also offers a Battery-as-a-Service plan starting at Rs 1.49 lakh plus Rs 2,499 per month. That brings the entry cost down further if you are not ready to go all-in on ownership.

What About the Philippines?

No official word if this will land in the Philippine shore yet. The X-47 is currently an India-exclusive. At today’s rough exchange rate, Rs 2.49 lakh converts to roughly PHP 167,000 to 175,000, which is genuinely competitive territory for an electric motorcycle with this kind of performance on paper.

But until Ultraviolette confirms a PH launch, that is just a number to watch.

For context, the electric motorcycle space in the Philippines is still growing. Options at that price point, with that spec sheet, are still rare here.

NOTE: The Ultraviolette X-47 is a legitimate machine, and this base variant is really just for buyers who see the Hypersense radar as optional rather than essential. The core performance is intact. Would you consider an electric motorcycle like this for daily use or touring around the Philippines? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
