Honda is all set to heat up the competition with the new Honda Amaze which is available in both petrol and the all new diesel engine.

Honda call its diesel engine technology as “Earth Dreams”. This 1.5 litre aluminum engine is highly fuel efficient. The ARAI approved mileage of Honda Amaze diesel is 25.8 kmpl.

Honda has designed and developed Amaze to be practical, spacious and a true competitor to the all time best diesel sedan Dzire.

At roughly the same price of Maruti Dzire, Honda Amaze offers more features, better fuel economy, more interior space and 400 litres of boot space as against 310 litres of boot of Dzire.

Honda Amaze is not only competition to Maruti Dzire but is also going to impact Ford Fiesta Classic, Tata Manza, Mahindra Quanto, Cheverolet Sail and Hyundai Verna.

Overall Honda Amaze is an excellent car. The only issue we see is the ground clearance which is at 165 mm. As per us it should have been at least 170 mm considering the Indian road conditions.

Also Honda has missed automatic climate control feature in the top VX model which is a big omission. Honda should immediately address this as Dzire ZXi, ZDi comes with the same.

Apart from Diesel option Honda Amaze comes with the 1.2 i-VTEC petrol engine with both manual and automatic transmission.

Our Recommendation – If you are looking for a decent sub 4 meter sedan with excellent fuel economy then Honda Amaze is the car for you. Period.
