The Honda Amaze is a 4-door sedan produced by Honda.[1] It is the sedan version of the Brio hatchback. Honda launched the Amaze in India in April 2013 and was developed at Honda R&D Asia Pacific Co., Ltd. located in Bangkok, Thailand. The Amaze is available in gasoline and diesel engine.[4]
The second generation Amaze was unveiled at the 2018 Auto Expo in February 2018[5]. Honda Cars India plans on working on compact SUVs and sedans to build volumes in India. The Japanese car manufacturer recently unveiled the new generation Amaze on an all-new platform, codenamed 2UA[6].
Production
The Amaze is being manufactured at the company’s facility in Greater Noida, with a localization level of more than 90%.[7]
The Amaze is Honda's first diesel offering in India. The car is also available with the 1.2 L (73 cu in) L12B i-VTEC petrol engine that is used in the Fit/Jazz and Brio hatchbacks.
Apart from being the company’s first diesel car in India, the Amaze is slotted in the lucrative sub 4-meter entry-level sedan segment, where it competes against the Maruti Swift DZire, Tata Indigo eCS, and later Zest, and Hyundai Xcent.[8][9][10] In the Philippines, the Brio Amaze also competes with the Mitsubishi Mirage G4.[1]
Honda provides a new India-specific 1.5 L (92 cu in) diesel engine in the Amaze. This engine gets the i-DTEC moniker and it is a derivative of the new 1.6 L (98 cu in) Civic diesel engine recently launched in Europe. This India-specific derivative was developed around excise/taxation rules which offer a favorable tax regime for cars of sub 4-meter cars with engines of less than 1.5 L (92 cu in) capacity. Honda claims this all-aluminum engine is the lightest diesel engine in its class.[11]
The turbocharger used in the Amaze's 1.5 L (92 cu in) i-DTEC diesel engine was designed and built by Honeywell.[12][13]
2016 update
The Amaze was updated in May 2016. This update includes a new grille, dashboard design, which are the same as the Brio, new taillights, and the use of continuous variable transmission, replacing the 5-speed automatic one. The engine remains the same. Similar to the previous model, both the engines use the same 5-speed manual transmission, while the CVT is offered on the gasoline variant only.
The updated Amaze is offered in E, S, SX and VX trims.[14]
Sales
The sales figures in February 2015, were released by Honda Cars India and the Amaze was the highest selling model for the Japanese firm, with 7,163 units sold.[15]
