Honda has launched the Amaze long before and what we are going to discuss about is the facelifted version of amaze. This being the compact sedan, has 4 variants in the lineup and they are 2 diesel and 2 petrol. One may wonder why because they are offering both manual and also CVT gearboxes in them, let's discuss it briefly.
1. Engine: There are 4-Engine options and among them, the petrol engine produces a healthy 90Ps and 110 Nm of torque which gets manual and CVT gearboxes that perform very well. The Diesel engines are a bit tricky here because it gets the same 1.5 i-DTEC engine but the power is varied in them. The 5-Speed manual gearbox has 100 Ps of power and 200 Nm of torque while the CVT gearbox engine has 80 Ps and 160 Nm of torque. One may wonder why this many but, the answer is simple flexibility in engines can get them great sales and also this no. of engines are not there in any other compact sedan in this segment.
2. Features: In this section honda truly amazed the way it is inside like the youch screen Digipad system that gets apple carplay, android auto and 3D maps will amaze you and the Way it responds is good. ABS, EBD, Dual airbags are standard across the variants and the rear seats are comfy and space is not going to be a concern in this one for sure.
3. Design and Exteriors: The Minute you look at it, you can the thick chrome at the front with the honda logo and also the DRL strip inside the headlamp and also the turn indiactors are as usual. It gets the 15-inch rather than 14 in the previous one. The boot is biggest in class that offers a 420 lit of space and no more tight packing or squeezing inside. It's a good move but not a big move and to make it a big move they must release a facelifted version that has it all.
Discussing all these there could come a question like what is it gonna cost? Its price starts from 5.69 lakhs and goes all the way upto 9.46 lakhs. This is a costly one when compared to some of its rivals. But, it offers more and I can promise you one thing here, you can't get any other vehicle that drives this good in the segment itself because it drives well, interiors are spacy, things changed in and out. Now its time to discuss the -ve's of Amaze and among them
1. No projector headlamps just halogens.
2. Exposed bits and pieces of the car like when you open the boot it has the wiring one can see and it could feel awkward.
3. Rear seat passengers don't get adjustable headrests and the roof is good for average size adults but, for the taller guys, it will touch for sure and may feel claustrophobic.
4. Only 5-Speed manual it's not a deal breaker but could be better if there was a 6-speed one.
5. Price is the main concern and if at all they release any facelift then how can one expect to revise these prices and lower them?
6. Top spec variant doesn't get the touch screen system and this is a strange omission which we haven't expected in a car like this.
