8. The cabin looks a bit similar to the outgoing model with some minor changes. Honda has, however, loaded the new car with features, including a new 7-inch Digipad touchscreen infotainment system. This system offers smartphone integration, navigation and a host of other features.
9. Honda only showcased the petrol version of the car which comes with the same 1.2-litre engine remains unchanged and comes with 87 bhp under its hood. However, the 1.5-litre diesel engine will also be on offer when the car is officially launched. However, we expect the engine get some fine tuning to offer better fuel efficiency and maybe even a little bit of more power.
10. The transmission options will include the 5-speed manual gearbox that will come as standard for both petrol and diesel models. The Amaze right now also gets an option CVT automatic transmission for the petrol model, and we can hope for a diesel automatic as well with the new Amaze.
