    With an increase in size and premium appeal, the new Amaze is a very competent compact sedan.

    Efficiency is where the diesel Amaze really impresses. While the older-generation car returned 15.2kpl and 20.8kpl, the new one with the five-speed manual returned 17.87kpl and 21.47kpl in the city and highway, respectively; that’s a 9 percent improvement. Even the smooth diesel-CVT returns a respectable 14.8kpl in city driving conditions and 18.9kpl on the highway.

    Fonts are large and easy to read. MID is a bit cluttered.

    What really surprised us, however, is that both, the petrol-manual and CVT returned a near- identical average figure of 13.31kpl, which is, in fact, lower than the older car’s 14.75kpl ( manual) and 13.8kpl (auto), despite being lighter. The fuel tank capacity remains 35 litres, so the effective range of the petrol versions has gone down.
