The new Honda Amaze compact sedan has been launched in India at introductory prices starting from Rs. 8.00 lakh to Rs 10.90 lakh (ex-showroom, India) for the top-spec ZX trim. The Amaze is now in its third generation, and it was launched just when the newly launched Maruti Dzire hit the market.

• HONDA AMAZE VX Rs 9.10 lakh (Petrol-MT), Rs 10.00 lakh (Petrol-CVT)

New Honda Amaze Exterior Design

The front end of the new Amaze resembles a shrunk, hunched version of the Elevate SUV. The new headlamps with the brow-like LED daytime running lamps, headlined by a sleek chrome trim, are identical to that of the Elevate. The Amaze also gets a hexagonal grille, though it is shallower and sharper than that of the Elevate. The fog lamp surrounds and the central air dam on the well-sculpted bumper, however, look a lot closer to that of the City. In profile, the new Amaze looks a lot sharper than its predecessor.

There's a strong character line that starts from the edge of the headlamps, going all the way across the length of the sedan. The wing mirrors have been moved from the pillar to the door, and the 15-inch alloy wheel's new dual-tone design gives it a very stylish look. The proportions also look spot on, which isn't particularly easy to achieve in the sub-compact class. The rear, again, looks much like a junior City, with a similar shape for the tail lamps flanking the number plate housing.

New Honda Amaze Interior and Features

The new Honda Amaze has a smaller 8-inch free-standing touchscreen, but the HVAC controls, the semi-digital instrument cluster with a 7-inch MID, and the multi-function steering wheel are all borrowed from the Elevate. The center console layout, with a wireless charging shelf, USB ports, and two cup holders, is identical to that of the Elevate. Safety features c  omprise six airbags as standard, lane watch camera, hill start assist, traction control, ESC and Honda sensing ADAS suite.

Honda claims the Amaze is the most affordable car with an ADAS suite in India. It, however, crucially misses out on a sunroof. Honda says the new Amaze is wider and taller than its predecessor, and that has resulted in better cabin space. It has a boot space of 416-litres. Honda also claims they have significantly improved the AC performance for better cooling inside the cabin.

New Honda Amaze Rivals 

The new Honda Amaze will continue to rival the Maruti Dzire, Hyundai Aura, and the Tata Tigor. However, the Amaze is the only sub-compact sedan to not offer a factory-fitted CNG powertrain. Do note that CNG makes up the bulk of sales in the compact sedan segment, contributing more than 50 percent to Dzire's sales and over 80% in the case of the Aura.
