New Honda Amaze variant-wise features, colours, explained

Honda has just launched the third-generation Amaze in India with prices ranging between Rs 8.00 lakh and Rs 10.90 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The new Amaze boasts an all-new exterior and interior design, borrowing heavily from the City and Elevate. It also sees a notable step up on the equipment from over its predecessor, and here, we are taking a close look at the variant-wise features list of the new Honda Amaze.

New Honda Amaze engine, gearbox and colours

The new Amaze is mechanically unchanged from its predecessor, so it continues with the same 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 90hp and 110Nm. The engine comes paired to either a 5-speed manual or a CVT gearbox.

The Amaze is available in three trims – V, VX and ZX – and both manual and automatic gearbox options are available on all three trims. Most carmakers do not offer an automatic gearbox option on the base trim, but Honda has gone one up here on rivals. Also, while all rivals only offer an AMT for the auto gearbox option, Honda is offering a much smoother and sophisticated CVT gearbox.

As for colours, there are six monotone shades to choose from: Obsidian Blue Pearl, Radiant Red Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Golden Brown Metallic, Meteoroid Gray Metallic and Lunar Silver Metallic. All colours are available on all trims of the Amaze.

The new Amaze is rather well-equipped in its base V trim, and if you are on a tight budget, even this entry-level model is adequate for most needs. Not only does it cover the basics and all safety features, but even includes some niceties like full-LED lighting, wireless phone connectivity and a large infotainment screen.

The VX trim adds a few cosmetic updates and convenience features, and would be our pick of the range, offering the most value for your money. What’s nice is that the top-spec ZX trim additionally only adds an ADAS suite a few other minor cosmetic trims. So, if one does not find utility in an ADAS suite, one does not need to pay for it, and they still can have all other features the car has to offer.  

Honda Amaze official accessories

Honda is also offering some really cool features that can be optionally availed for an additional cost. These include an ambient light strip on the dashboard with 7 colour options, ventilated seat covers with massager in beige and black options, front parking sensors, trunk spoiler with LED stop light and additional charging ports. There’s also an optional Signature package that adds exterior chrome garnishes and a Utility package that adds car protection trims.

The new Honda Amaze will continue to rival the Maruti Dzire, Hyundai Aura and the Tata Tigor. Bookings and test drives are already underway, and deliveries will officially commence next month.
