The second-generation Honda Amaze compact sedan has been launched in India at an introductory price of Rs. 5.60 lakhs (all-India, ex-showroom).
The new Amaze comes in four variants – E, S, V and VX. And all of the variants get dual front airbags, Isofix, ABS and rear parking sensors as standard. The prices for every variant are introductory and are said to increase after the first 20k bookings.
In terms of design, the new Amaze takes its design cues from its elder siblings, the City and the Accord, especially from the front. The new Amaze now looks more attractive than before and has also become significantly lighter.
The car’s interior has been completely redesigned and looks more premium than before. The instrument cluster is new and so is its steering wheel. The top-spec trims get a 7-inch touchscreen with Digipad 2.0 infotainment system. Other features include Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, voice recognition, auto climate control and cruise control. In terms of safety, Dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, along with reverse parking sensors are offered as standard on all the variants of the new-gen Amaze.
The car continues to be powered with the same 1.2L, petrol engine that produces 90 PS and 110 Nm of torque, and 1.5L, diesel engine that produces 100 PS and 200 Nm of torque. Both the mills also continue to be mated with the same 5-speed manual gearbox while the petrol CVT automatic transmission with same power figures like its MT variant is also on offer (just like its previous generation model). But now, for 2018, the diesel engine also gets an option of a segment-first, CVT automatic transmission that produces 20 PS and 40 Nm less than the diesel MT.
The fuel efficiency certified by the ARAI for all the variants are as, petrol MT – 19.5 km/l, petrol-CVT – 19 km/l, diesel-MT – 27.4 km/l and Diesel-CVT – 23.8 km/l.
