The face of the new-gen Amaze has been inspired from the Accord, with a fresh new grille, newly designed headlamp cluster and a new, bolder bumper as well. The silhouette of the car too has changed, getting a slightly lowered roof-line in order to make it more aerodynamic. In all probability, the car will be offered with the same 1.2-litre petrol engine, which is on offer on the current model. As we mentioned earlier in the story, the 1.5-litre diesel could get an update.
