Honda Amaze 2nd Gen Features

The Amaze is the first sedan to join our long term feet in a year, and while on paper it lacks some of the features offered in its rivals, there’s plenty of promise in the package.

Japanese car maker Honda has launched the 2021 facelift of its most successful car in the India, the Amaze. Most of the changes on the subcompact sedan are on the exterior. We get you a closer look.

Everything about the second generation Amaze is new, including the fact that it's based on a new platform. The subcompact sedan has grown in size, by 5mm, though it's still under 4 metres in length (3995mm) and it's wider too, by 15mm. The petrol powered Amaze is 17 kilos lighter than its predecessor; while the diesel version is 23 kg lighter.

Interestingly, the carmaker refers to it as the 'all-new' Amaze, which seems a little bit of a stretch considering that the number of changes, mostly cosmetic, can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Maruti jumped on to the bandwagon with the Dzire and then even Honda looked into that direction for a compact sedan under 4-metres. Both concocted a car that appealed to the public. We drive both to find out who triumphs.
