The new Pleasure Plus also has received a new semi-digital instrument cluster and a stylish taillamp at the rear.  The scooter now also features a USB charging slot as well.

The top end variant has received a new LED headlamp with position lamp, semi-digital instrument console with econometer and diamond cut alloy wheels (the base variant gets standard alloy units).

Hero Pleasure Plus vs Honda Activa 5G vs Tvs Jupiter Comparison Verdict

There is no doubt in the fact that the recently launched Hero Pleasure Plus with a completely redesigned styling and an updated and more powerful engine will attract the attention of the people. However, if we compare it with some of its potential rivals then it surely misses out on a few thing including an LED headlamp which has now become the latest trend, disc brake etc. What makes the Hero Pleasure Plus an exciting contender is the fact that it is the cheapest scooter amongst the trio yet it offers almost everything that its rival has to offer.
