Yamaha leads the automatic scooter segment in the Philippines with a wide range of offerings, especially in the Mio range. To further solidify its position in the automotive market, the company introduced the latest version of its popular automatic scooter, the Mio Soul i 125S. In its previous update, Yamaha equipped the Mio Soul i 125S with a Blue Core engine, while this time they have gone a step ahead and introduced the stop-start system in the new Mio Soul i 125S which switches off the engine after 5 seconds of being idle to save fuel. This way a lot of fuel is saved and even the harmful emission is reduced. To enhance the looks, Yamaha has done a few tweaks here and there like a sharper front, new graphics, 3D embossed SOUL logo and introduction of two new colours- Matte Gray and Matte Green. That said, the standard version of the Mio Soul i 125 without the stop-start technology will still be up for sale in Vibrant Orange, Matte Black and violet at Php 79,900. It competes against the Honda Click 125i, the Piaggio Typhoon 125 and the Suzuki Skydrive Fi.
The Mio Soul i 125S flaunts a very masculine and bold design with sharp curves. The front apron holds an aggressively designed headlight and turn indicators placed right below it, while the sharply designed rear view mirrors are placed on the handlebar. A Yamaha logo can be spotted right below the handlebar. There are new graphics on the sides with an embossed 3D MIO logo. At the back, it features a neatly designed tail light and a black coloured split grab-rail. The standard variant is available in Vibrant Orange, Matte Black and violet colour options, while the latest Mio Soul i 125S is offered in Matte Gray and Matte Green paint schemes.
The Mio Soul i 125S is built on a steel underbone frame with a comfortable seat placed at 773 mm. The seat provides comfortable riding experience to both the rider and the pillion. The design is very sleek and lightweight. Moreover, the kerb weight of the new Mio Soul i 125S is only 92 kg which offers a very light handling. It can easily be manoeuvred in heavy traffic conditions. Suspension setup comprises conventional telescopic forks at the front and unit swing at the rear which is decent enough to handle the bumps on the roads.
It draws power from a 125 cc, four-stroke, air-cooled, SOHC, single-cylinder, two-valve engine which generates a maximum power of 9.38 hp at 8,000 rpm and peak torque of 9.6 Nm at 5,500 rpm. The power is transmitted to the wheels through a V-Belt automatic transmission. The engine features a stop-start technology to provide better fuel-efficiency. When the stop-start is turned on, it automatically switches off the engine after 5 seconds of being idle to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption and low emission. The rider can easily switch back to the riding mode with its quick start function which uses the stored air-fuel mixture in the engine to turn it on instantly. Both electric and kick start options are available on the Mio Soul i 125S and it can hold a maximum of 4.2-litre of fuel in its fuel tank.
A hydraulic single disc at the front and mechanical drum brake at the rear are responsible for braking on the Mio Soul i 125S. It is fitted with 14-inch alloy wheels enclosed in an 80/80 tyre at the front and a large 100/70 tyre at the rear for a better road grip especially in slippery conditions. Considering the criticality of bike theft in the Philippines, Yamaha motors has installed an integrated key lock system with a shutter in the Mio Soul i 125S. This shutter can be easily closed with a finger flick but requires the back end of the assigned key in order to open. Additionally, it also gets a smart key with a smart button on it. When this button is pressed the scooter starts producing electronic sound and lights to signal its location to the rider.
Mio Soul i 125 is the perfect choice for someone who wish to ride a sporty commuter. The scooter is equipped with all the standard features, offer good engine performance and come with Yamaha's reliability, giving very limited reasons to pick any other option over it.

Ever since I have dreamt of having a bike, I wanted it to be masculine and yet provide with a luxurious style. Along with bold looks, I was looking for something that ensures superior handling and is also light. I purchased the black shade of Yamaha Mio Soul I 125. It has an underbone framework and Forced-feed, Wet Sump lubrication
I am a big fan of two-wheelers and follow every single news and launches happening in the Philippines. I absolutely love the Yamaha Soul 125 because it is so well-crafted and designed. The front section looks very robot-like and the turn indicators are placed in a very unique place. Also, if I am discussing about the power let me tell
Bought this beauty from my last year’s Christmas bonus and I am contented to say the least. Probably the most fuel-efficient vehicles I’ve seen – and as someone who was a part-time auto mechanic for a considerable period time, that seriously counts for something. It’s ‘stop and start’ system, however, has two sides to it. I personally felt like the
