2023 Yamaha XMAX launched with fresh new look, upgraded tech
The big-selling Yamaha XMAX lands for 2023 boasting a distinctive new style and improved connectivity and technology features
The top-selling Yamaha XMAX maxi-scooter has received a major overhaul with a striking new look and boasting an advancement in technology and connectivity features.
First launched in 2006, the Yamaha XMAX and sister Yamaha TMAX have gone on to become two of the world’s best-selling scooters, with more than 720,000 units being shifted between the pair globally in 16 years.
For 2023, the XMAX arrives with ‘advanced new connected instruments, improved riding comfort and enhanced functionality’, according to Yamaha.
Available with the choice of either 125cc or 300cc engines - with the latter being offered outside of Europe for the first time - the XMAX makes a bold first impression with a sharp new look, headlined by an aggressive new ‘X’ shaped nose and lighting arrangement.
Similarly the ‘X’ theme can be seen from the rear with an X-shape showing when the tail light is on.
Beyond that, the XMAX gets a more angular and trimmed fairing designed to protect against the elements without hindering manoeuvrability.
Offered in Standard or Tech trim, the flagship Tech variant comes with smartphone connectivity and Garmin compatible navigation relayed through a new multi-theme 4.2-inch TFT dashboard, while the Standard features a 4.3-inch LCD screen with smartphone connectivity.
Leather-style seat and lid covers also feature on the Tech models, together with aluminium footplates, while both models retain keyless ignition and traction control.
For a premium look, certain plastic body parts on the XMAX 300 Tech MAX have been treated with a special semi-metallic gloss finish that enhances the overall style and complements the exclusive colours.
