Honda Amaze: Will Seduce You With It’s Stunning And Practical Design Honda Amaze is among the most practical and durable compact sedans of the country for quite some time.
Aimed at family buyers, professionals and first-time buyers of a sedan, the Amaze follows the Honda tradition of quality with a touch of luxury in a sedan that’s fun to drive.
With its neat design, frugal engine, loads of interior space, the Amaze remains one of the strong players in the sub-4 meter sedan category.
Design and Exterior Styling
The Honda Amaze’s look is neat, modern and it looks relatively premium despite the tiny dimensions.
A thick chrome grille takes its position in the centre of the front fascia, with the sharp LED projector headlamps and LED DRLs sitting either side of it.
RADIOSTER Kaskus 77 The facelift model’s sculpted bumper and foglamps contribute to the sedan’s contemporary look.
The side profile is simple yet elegant that features understated character lines and 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
The back gets C-shaped LED tail lights and a nicely executed boot lid. All up, the design is both subtle and sophisticated — and just the right combination of refined and restrained for a family sedan.
Interior and Features
In the cabin, the Amaze gets dual tone beige and black theme, which accentuates the spacious and comfy feel.
The dash is practical with a neatly integrated 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system featuring Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The instrument panel is uncluttered and legible with a modest digital MID showing trip and fuel information.
Some soft-touch materials have been used in such critical areas, and the quality of the plastics is more than acceptable for the class. Space is the Amaze’s Party Piece.
There’s also plenty of space for those sitting up-front or at the rear with generous leg and head room and boot space of 420 litres – among the best in the compact sedan class.
Engine and Performance
Powering the Honda Amaze is a 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine that belches out 90 PS of power and 110 Nm of torque.
The engine can be specced with a 5-speed manual gearbox or a CVT automatic.
It’s not a high-performance engine, but it provides a quiet, smooth ride — perfect for city driving and moderate highway travel.
Earlier, the Amaze was also available with a 1.5 litre diesel engine and was known for its power and fuel efficiency.
However, as BS6 Phase 2 norms came into effect on April 2020 and change in market conditions, Honda phased out the diesel model in India.
Ride and Comfort
Honda Amaze has a supple suspension setup which suits the Indian roads. It takes potholes and bumps well, making for a plush ride.
Its light steering is right for city driving and fitting it into tight park spaces, and the turning radius is small enough to make things easy in the city.
The seats come with good cushioning and under-thigh support and makes for comfortable long drives.
But its rear seat lacks adjustable headrests that might make all the difference for taller passengers.
