Under the hood, the Honda Amaze 2024 retains the reliable 1.2-litre, four-cylinder i-VTEC petrol engine that has been a hallmark of this model. It generates a respectable 90hp and 110Nm of torque,
offering a smooth and efficient driving experience.
Buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) automatic. The CVT variant also comes with paddle shifters for those who want a more engaging driving experience. Honda claims impressive fuel efficiency numbers—18.65 km/l for the manual variant and 19.46 km/l for the CVT. Although the Amaze does not come with a CNG variant (unlike some competitors like the Maruti Dzire and Hyundai Aura),
its petrol efficiency and refined performance are sure to appeal to those who prioritize reliability and lower running costs.
Enhanced Exterior Design: Inspired by Honda’s Global Design Language
The Honda Amaze 2024 has received a significant design overhaul, drawing inspiration from Honda’s popular Elevate SUV and the City sedan. The exterior now exudes a more modern, dynamic look.
Upfront, the sedan features a sleek hexagonal grille, flanked by sharp LED projector headlights with integrated daytime running lights (DRLs).
The sculpted front bumper is complemented by LED fog lamps that not only enhance its visual appeal but also improve visibility in low-light conditions.
The side profile of the Amaze gets an added touch of sophistication with dual-tone alloy wheels and a prominent character line that runs along its length. At the rear,
the wraparound LED taillights and redesigned bumper complete the modern look.
Honda has also increased the width and height of the Amaze to improve cabin space and overall proportions, ensuring that passengers enjoy a more comfortable ride.
Interior Features: Refined, Spacious, and Tech-Savvy
Step inside the Honda Amaze 2024, and you’re greeted with a fresh, contemporary interior. The dashboard has been revamped, featuring a textured finish and a dual-tone black-and-beige theme that adds a premium feel to the cabin.
The infotainment system is one of the standout features. Depending on the variant, you can get either an 8-inch or 10.25-inch touchscreen.
It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring that your smartphone is seamlessly integrated into the car’s system. Additionally,
the Amaze comes equipped with a wireless charger, rear AC vents, and a push-button start/stop for added convenience.
The redesigned air conditioning system is another highlight, offering improved cooling efficiency,
which is perfect for India’s hot weather.
Safety First: Honda Sensing ADAS Technology
One of the most significant upgrades in the Honda Amaze 2024 is the inclusion of Honda Sensing ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). This makes the Amaze the most affordable sedan in India to come equipped with Level 2 ADAS.
The suite of safety features includes:
- Six airbags
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
- Hill-start Assist
- Lane Departure Warning
- Forward Collision Warning
- Collision Mitigation Braking System
These features, combined with the standard safety tech, make the Amaze one of the safest compact sedans in its segment.
Boot Space and Practicality: Room for All Your Luggage
With a boot capacity of 416 litres, the Honda Amaze 2024 ensures that you have plenty of room for your luggage, groceries, or even a weekend getaway. This spacious trunk, combined with its practical features,
makes the Amaze an ideal choice for families and daily commuters alike.
Competitors in the Segment: How Does the Amaze Stack Up?
In the highly competitive compact sedan segment, the Honda Amaze 2024 faces stiff competition from the Maruti Dzire, Hyundai Aura, and Tata Tigor. Each of these cars comes with its own set of strengths,
but the Amaze stands out with its modern design, advanced safety features, and tech upgrades.
While competitors like the Dzire and Aura have the edge when it comes to CNG variants (which make up a significant portion of their sales),
the Amaze focuses on offering a more premium driving experience with advanced features like ADAS, a fresh design, and more interior space.
Honda Sensing ADAS: A Game-Changer in the Segment
Honda Sensing, the automaker’s advanced driver assistance system, is a standout feature in the Amaze 2024. The inclusion of this system in a car priced from ₹7.99 lakh makes it one of the most affordable vehicles in India with such advanced technology.
The ADAS package offers a range of features that enhance both safety and convenience while driving.
From adaptive cruise control to lane-keeping assist, these technologies can significantly reduce driver fatigue and increase road safety.
