The third-generation Honda Amaze continues with the popular 1.2-litre petrol engine and offers two transmission options. Its exterior styling is completely new and, on the inside, it now shares many features with the Elevate SUV and the City sedan. It gets a good range of features and amenities and also comes with camera-based ADAS technology, which is not available on any of its rivals. Talking about the competition, the Amaze takes on the strong segment of the Marut Dzire, which also underwent a full facelift in November last year. The Amaze also takes on the likes of the Hyundai Aura and Tata Tigor in our market.
While the new Amaze is only two months old, a quick check with dealers reveals that sales of the new sedan have been slightly lower than expected due to more private buyers preferring compact SUVs as most of the compact sedans in the market are now targeted at fleet operations. However, dealers are optimistic that sales of the new Amaze will pick up in the coming months once the 2025 model year units go on sale as most buyers do not prefer to buy a newly built car launched towards the end of the year.
