This is marginal drop in performance as compared to the BS4 powerplant. Transmission duties continue to be handled by a four-speed gearbox.

It looks sleeker and more compact now with a new bikini fairing, fuel tank and rear panel, all of which lend it a sportier appeal. As for the hardware, besides the rear suspension being adjustable now, rest of the cycle parts remain unchanged.
In the entry-level commuter segment, the BS6 TVS Star City Plus competes against the Bajaj Platina 110, Honda Dream Yuga and Hero HF Deluxe.
