All these combine to offer tech-packed urban riding, giving both Malaysian and Singaporean riders a taste of premium convenience in a compact form.

Sleek Wheels, Sharp Lights – Styled for Urban Roads

What meets the eyes first? The wheels and lights, of course. The Yamaha NMAX 2025 sits on 13-inch cast aluminium wheels, paired with tubeless tyres that offer great grip for wet and dry conditions. Whether you’re zipping past city traffic in Petaling Jaya or waiting at a red light near Orchard Road, the wheels inspire confidence.

Meanwhile, the LED lighting system—headlamp, position lamp, and tail lamp—has been redesigned for a more aggressive and modern look. The lighting isn’t just for show—it also ensures excellent visibility at night, making your daily commute safer and sharper.

Powerful Yet Refined – The Engine Upgrade You’ll Love

The NMAX 2025 is powered by a 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled Blue Core engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA). This setup delivers a smooth powerband across different speeds, giving you that extra oomph when overtaking or cruising at higher speeds on expressways.

With 15 horsepower and around 13.9 Nm of torque, the engine is tuned for efficient, lively city riding. The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) allows for seamless acceleration—ideal for stop-and-go traffic in both Singapore and Malaysia.

A Modern Design That Commands a Second Look

The Yamaha NMAX 2025 receives subtle yet impactful design updates. It maintains its bulky but sporty frame, giving it a presence that belies its scooter classification. The body panels are aerodynamically sculpted to reduce wind resistance and improve riding comfort at higher speeds.

What sets it apart this year is the new matte and dual-tone colour options, paired with a sharper front apron and enhanced side fairings. This scooter no longer just blends in—it makes a statement, whether parked at a café in Mont Kiara or near Marina Bay Sands.

Here’s What’s New in the 2025 Edition

So what’s different in 2025? Yamaha didn’t overhaul the NMAX, but rather chose to refine and elevate. Among the most notable upgrades are:

• Revised seat design for improved rider and pillion comfort
  
• Updated meter graphics on the LCD display
  
• New body graphics and colour palettes for a modern, sporty appeal
  
• Improved smart key system with better range and response time
  
• Enhanced engine refinement to reduce vibrations and noise
  

All these small but impactful updates give the NMAX 2025 a more premium, more mature feel—perfect for modern urban riders.

Ride Farther – Mileage and Real-World Efficiency

When it comes to fuel economy, the NMAX 2025 continues to impress. Thanks to Yamaha’s Blue Core technology and Start & Stop system, you can expect fuel consumption of around 38 to 42 km/l under mixed riding conditions.

For Malaysian riders, this means you could get up to 300km on a single full tank (7.1L), while in Singapore’s tighter urban cycle, you’re still looking at 250km+ per tank—making it ideal for daily commutes without frequent fuel stops.

Launch Updates in Malaysia & Singapore

The Yamaha NMAX 2025 was officially introduced in early Q2 of 2025 across both Malaysia and Singapore, with much fanfare from urban riders and scooter enthusiasts.

• In Malaysia, it is available through authorised Hong Leong Yamaha dealerships.
  
• In Singapore, it’s distributed via Yamaha’s exclusive local partners and is fully compliant with LTA regulations for Class 2B riders.
  

Availability is solid in both markets with multiple colour options and a standard factory warranty.

Price & Variants – What Does It Cost in 2025?

Here’s what buyers can expect to pay:

• Malaysia Price: RM 10,998 (excluding registration and insurance)
  
• Singapore Price: SGD 5,800 (excluding COE and on-road costs)
  

There’s currently only one fully loaded variant available in both countries, which includes ABS, TCS, Y-Connect, and smart key system as standard.

Given the features and overall build quality, the price tag positions the NMAX as a premium yet accessible urban scooter.
