Honda Amaze 2nd Gen

The Amaze facelift showcases a more refined and improved exterior compared to its predecessor. Upfront, a redesigned grille, featuring two horizontal slats, complements the LED projector headlamps that incorporate daytime running lights (DRLs). The LED fog lamps, with their chrome accents, further enhance the visual appeal of the front fascia. On the sides, the introduction of dual-tone 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, along with chrome door handles (exclusively available on the VX trim), adds a touch of sophistication. Moving to the rear, the car boasts new C-shaped LED tail lamps and a chrome strip on the bumper. Buyers can choose from five exterior colors, including the new Meteoroid Grey.

Inside the cabin, the Amaze facelift takes strides in delivering a more premium feel. Notable enhancements include silver garnish accents on the steering wheel and dashboard, an updated stitching pattern on the upholstery, and a leather boot for the gear lever. New front map lamps contribute to added convenience. The car still provides an extensive array of features inherited from its previous iteration. These encompass a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that offers compatibility with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This system is accompanied by an analog instrument cluster that incorporates a multi-information display. Furthermore, the car comes with conveniences like automatic climate control, push-button start, a rearview camera, and voice command capabilities, among other amenities. However, it's worth mentioning that some expected features for this category, like connected car technology, rear AC vents, adjustable rear headrests, and cruise control for the CVT versions, are regrettably missing.

This subcompact sedan car gets standard safety features such as dual airbags, anti-lock braking system with electronic brake distribution, ISOFIX child seat mounts, rear parking sensors, and impact-sensing door unlock. It's important to highlight that the vehicle does not include advanced driver assistance systems such as lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, or autonomous emergency braking. It's also noteworthy that the updated car has not undergone evaluation by Global NCAP for safety ratings. However, it's worth acknowledging that its predecessor achieved an admirable four out of five stars in a safety assessment conducted in 2019.

In the Amaze facelift, you'll find the same engine options as before. While available with a 1.2-liter petrol and a larger 1.5-liter diesel engine at the time of its launch, the latter has now been dropped from Honda’s line-up. You can choose either a five-speed manual transmission or a CVT automatic for the petrol engine. The petrol engine delivers a decent 89 bhp and 110 Nm of torque, providing reliable performance and provides a balanced performance characterised by good levels of refinement and impressive fuel efficiency. It achieves 18.6 kmpl with the manual transmission and 18.3 kmpl with the CVT. Notably, the CVT variant offers enhanced driving engagement through the inclusion of paddle shifters.
