Piaggio Group Japan has announced the 2026 models of the small-body Vespa icons, the "Primavera" and "Sprint." The previous 150cc engine has evolved into the new 174cc "180" unit, balancing performance with environmental efficiency. The beloved scooters, long popular in Japan too, arrive with a new riding character.

Even on a scooter, extra displacement and power headroom change the quality of the ride. If going to 174cc bumps performance, it should handle city merging and hill climbs comfortably. A cute face with evolved insides — I don't hate a solid, sensible model change like this.

The Primavera and Sprint look similar — how are they actually different models?

With the new 174cc engine, how much does output actually gain over the 150cc model?

If the displacement bump translates directly into output, the difference should be noticeable enough to feel.

In this scooter price bracket, Vespa keeps pushing through on pure brand strength as always.

That tagline about balancing performance and environmental efficiency — curious how much of a felt difference it really makes.

For the staple Primavera and Sprint, going from 150 to 180 is subtle but quietly welcome news.
