New Honda Amaze Basic, Signature, and Utility Accessory Packages Explained: What's Different

The Honda Amaze has three variants (V, VX, and ZX), and is powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine that produces 89bhp and 110Nm.

<p>Honda recently launched the redesigned Amaze in India, which takes after its sibling, the City in a lot of ways.&nbsp;If you're torn between choosing these two sedans, here's a quick comparison to highlight their similarities and differences. In terms of pricing, the City is positioned at a higher price point, ranging from Rs 11.82 lakh to Rs 16.35 lakh. The Amaze, however, is more affordable, with prices starting at Rs 8 lakh and going up to Rs 10.90 lakh (introductory).</p>

<p><img alt="Honda City Front Three Quarter" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/05/Honda-City-Front-Three-Quarter.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<h2>Honda Amaze vs Honda City: Differences and Similarities</h2>

<p>The Amaze differentiates itself with a bold, wide grille inspired by the Honda Accord. For comparison, the City sports a more elegant and streamlined grille.&nbsp;While the Amaze's headlights take cues from the City's design, its LED DRLs are more in line with those found on the Honda Elevate, giving a distinct, contemporary edge.</p>

<p><img alt="New Honda Amaze Rear" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Honda-Amaze-rear.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The redesigned Amaze appears as a more compact iteration of the City when viewed from the side. &nbsp;The latter’s greater length—spanning over 4 metres—lends it a more poised and aerodynamic presence, enhancing its overall sophistication and road stance.&nbsp;Both the cars have the same multi-spoke dual-tone alloys, but the sizes are different. For reference, the Amaze has 15-inch wheels, while the City has larger 16-inch wheels, with a different design.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The stylish chrome-finished door handles and body-coated outside rearview mirrors with inbuilt turn indicators are found in both models.&nbsp;Following the recent update, the Amaze has also gained the LaneWatch camera, placed below the left ORVM. This is already available in the City sedan. With its shark-fin antenna and wraparound LED taillights,&nbsp;the Amaze's rear end resembles that of the Honda City. The bumper, however, has a more distinct appearance.</p>

<p><img alt="Honda City Rear Three Quarter" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/05/Honda-City-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>Although the interior of both sedans is black and beige, the dashboard design is different. The Amaze has a more modern appearance because of its floating 8-inch touchscreen and rectangular AC vents.&nbsp;In contrast, the City has a touchscreen unit that is built into the dashboard. It also gets vertically oriented AC vents.</p>

<p><img alt="New Honda Amaze Interior" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Honda-Amaze-Interior.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The Amaze comes equipped with a PM2.5 cabin air filter, a wireless phone charger, a 7-inch semi-digital driver's display (also found in the City), and remote engine start/stop.&nbsp;The City, on the other hand, has an 8-inch touchscreen, ambient lighting, and a single-pane electric sunroof.&nbsp;The Amaze misses out on the single-pane sunroof. However, both cars are packed with amenities&nbsp;like advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), a rearview camera, and six airbags (standard) for safety.</p>

<p><img alt="Honda City View Of Steering Console And Instrumentation jpg" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/05/Honda-City-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The most significant difference lies in the powertrains. The Amaze is powered by a smaller 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine,&nbsp;while the City comes with a larger 1.5-litre 4-cylinder N/A petrol unit. The Amaze produces 89bhp and 110Nm, whereas the City delivers a more powerful 119bhp and 145Nm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Transmission options for the Amaze include a 5-speed manual and a CVT, while the City offers a 6-speed manual and a CVT.&nbsp;Additionally, Honda offers&nbsp;an advanced strong-hybrid powertrain option with the City,&nbsp;which is not available in the Amaze.</p>


Honda Amaze vs City Spec Comparison: What's Different?

If you're torn between choosing the new Honda Amaze and the City, here's a quick comparison to highlight their similarities and differences.

<p>Nearly a month after Maruti Suzuki introduced its fourth-generation Dzire sedan in India,&nbsp;Honda India brought out its all-new Amaze. With introductory prices starting at Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom), the new Honda Amaze gets an exterior&nbsp;similar to the City sedan&nbsp;and the Elevate SUV, as well as a minimalistic interior with the latest technology. The mechanical components remain the same as the predecessor though. In its third-generation avatar, the Amaze is a step up from the old Amaze, which is still available for purchase in the country, at an ex-showroom price of Rs 7.63 lakh (starting price). Here's a closer look at a comparison between the new Amaze and the second-generation model:&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Honda Amaze - New vs Old: Engine, Mileage</h2>

<p>Under the skin, almost everything is the same for the updated Amaze. The&nbsp;1.2-litre, 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine still develops 89bhp at 6,000rpm and 110Nm of peak torque at 4,800rpm, turning the wheels through either a 5-speed manual or CVT automatic gearbox. That said, the engine now gets&nbsp;an updated fuel injection ECU.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Honda Amaze" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/04/2021-Honda-Amaze.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>Honda says the new sedan returns a fuel economy of&nbsp;18.65km/l for the manual and&nbsp;19.46km/l for the automatic version. The automatic variant is 1.16km/l more frugal than the previous version.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Honda Amaze - New vs Old: Design, Dimensions</h2>

<p><img alt="New Honda Amaze Rear" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Honda-Amaze-rear.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The new Amaze is still 3,995mm long, but 1,733mm wide (up by 38mm) and 1,500mm high (down by 1mm), with a wheelbase&nbsp;– the distance between the two axles&nbsp;– of 2,470mm, the same as before. Its boot capacity has gone down to 416 litres.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Moving to its design, the third-generation Amaze strays away too far from the previous-generation model, which has a crooked face with design cues borrowed from the Accord Hybrid. The new Amaze has a bold and upright stance with a larger grille, dual LED projector lamps, integrated&nbsp;LED Daytime Running Lamps, and a thicker chrome strip. The side profile sports new 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, as well as more flared wheel arches&nbsp;and sharp character lines. While the front fascia takes inspiration from the Elevate, the rear end takes cues from the City. The latter gets new&nbsp;red-finished, wraparound taillamps&nbsp;with different&nbsp;lighting elements. The&nbsp;front and rear bumpers have also been revised.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Old Honda Amaze" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/12/Old-Honda-Amaze.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<h2>Honda Amaze - New vs Old: Interior, Features</h2>

<p>Like the exterior, the interior&nbsp;of the new Honda Amaze draws styling cues from the Elevate SUV. It houses a&nbsp;semi-digital instrument cluster with a 7.0-inch MID, in addition to a&nbsp;multi-function steering wheel. The HVAC controls, two cupholders, and USB Type-C charging ports too have been derived from the SUV. Plus, there is an&nbsp;8.0-inch free-standing touchscreen against the smaller 7.0-inch integrated infotainment system, as well as a dashboard panel with a textured finish. The previous model's dashboard features silver garnishes.&nbsp;Speaking of, the dual-tone&nbsp;black and beige interior theme continues to be on offer with the new version.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="New Honda Amaze Interior" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Honda-Amaze-Interior.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The new Amaze also comes with&nbsp;wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, 6 speakers (up by 2 speakers), connected car technology (with 35+ functions), and wireless charging. Cruise control, powered outside rearview mirrors, auto headlamps, and engine start/stop switch have been carried over from the predecessor.</p>

<h2>Honda Amaze - New vs Old: Safety Equipment</h2>

<p>Safety upgrades on the new Amaze include a lane watch camera,&nbsp;hill hold assist, electronic stability programme (ESP), 6 airbags (standard), and a Honda Sensing ADAS suite (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) with auto high-beam assist,&nbsp;lane keep&nbsp;assist and adaptive cruise control.&nbsp;</p>


Honda Amaze - New vs Old: What's Different?

The new-generation Honda Amaze gets major design changes and more features than its predecessor. The mechanicals remain more or less the same.

<p>Honda sold 10,726 cars in November 2024,&nbsp;showing a 9.80% decrease from last year’s 11,891 units.&nbsp;Of the total, the Elevate manufacturer supplied 5,005 units in the domestic market,&nbsp;3,725 units fewer than the 8,730 units sold in the same month the previous year.&nbsp;This led to a huge YoY drop of 42.67%.&nbsp;However, with a staggering&nbsp;80.99% increase, the exports were a&nbsp;contributing factor to the shortfall.&nbsp;In contrast to the 3,161 vehicles&nbsp;shipped in November 2023,&nbsp;the automaker exported 5,721 units last month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Honda recently launched the third-generation Amaze in India&nbsp;at a starting price of Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom). The first-generation model went on sale in April 2013,&nbsp;followed by the second-generation model in May 2018.

<p>Kunal Behl, Vice President of Marketing &amp; Sales, at Honda Cars India Ltd., said, 'There is a lot of excitement among customers for the new Amaze highlighting a strong market connection for the brand.

Notably, the new Amaze is India’s first compact sedan and the most affordable car in the country to feature ADAS.

When it comes to rivals, the updated Honda model takes on several formidable competitors such as the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, the Hyundai Aura, and the Tata Tigor.

<p>The 2024 Honda Amaze immediately stands out with its refreshed look, featuring a broader front grille, updated LED DRLs, and a prominent chrome strip across the bonnet.

From the side, both sedans maintain a sporty aesthetic, but the Aura’s multi-spoke alloy wheels offer a more refined look than the Amaze’s.
