2. The Honda Amaze was crash tested by Global NCAP in May 2019 at 64 kmph for frontal-offset and scored a four-star safety rating for adult occupant protection.

Honda Amaze diesel engine

3. The Amaze comes with a torquey 1.5-litre diesel engine that's fun to drive. If you plan to get the 2nd gen model you can even get a CVT option.

4. The Honda Amaze gets a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, called Digipad-2 with both Apple Carplay and Android Auto. It also gets a start-stop button and automatic climate control.

Cons

1. The pre-facelift Amaze, which you'll get in the used car market, lacks some common features like - LED/projector headlamps, diamond-cut alloy wheels or even an armrest for the driver.

2. The 2021 Honda Amaze misses out on rear air-con vents which is a big miss in our opinion. The cabin too is a bit dated.

3. The Honda Amaze's 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder, the naturally aspirated engine doesn't feel as spirited as the diesel version. The CVT make the situation worse.

4. The second-gen Honda Amaze is still relatively new, so there will be limited options in the used car market.
