Honda has also equipped the special edition compact sedan with new body graphics and Privilege Edition emblems on the outside, while providing beige seat covers and a centre armrest for the driver on the inside. The Amaze Privilege Edition also gets rear parking sensors.
The powertrain has not been changed in any way and the car is powered by the same 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines that come mated to the same five-speed manual transmissions. The limited edition model does not come with an automatic option.
Price of the petrol version is Rs 6.49 lakh, while the diesel model retails at Rs 7.74 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Honda’s Amaze faces off against the likes of the Hyundai Xcent, Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Ford Aspire, and the Volkswagen Ameo in the sub-4-metre compact sedan segment.
