Kawasaki Motors has launched the updated version of the Ninja 400 in India. The new 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 400 gets a BS6-compliant engine and is mostly the same as that of its predecessor. The fit and finish of the new Kawasaki Ninja remains the same as that of the BS4 model. The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 400 has a starting price of Rs 4.99 lakh, ex-showroom India.

The 2022 model of Kawasaki Ninja 400 (Euro-5) was launched recently in the European market and now has arrived in India. For those who are unaware, the BS4 model of the Kawasaki Ninja 400 was discontinued in the Indian market after December 2019. This means that the BS6 Ninja 400 makes an entry into the Indian market after a period of 2.5 years.

Engine

The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 400 derives its power from the updated 399cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine that is a complaint to BS6 norms. The 399cc engine is coupled with 6-speed gearbox that produces a peak power of 44bhp at 10,000 rpm and maximum torque of 37Nm at 8000 rpm. The power of the engine remains the same. However, the torque of the engine reduces by 1Nm (against the BS4 model).
