Honda will come out with some new changes for its two cars; the Amaze and the Brio. Now, these cars won’t see any mechanical upgrade, as all the changes are merely cosmetic. This means that both the cars will be offered with the same engines as before. The 1.2-litre i-VTEC unit that dishes out 86 bhp and 109 Nm of torque. This powerplant will be engaged to, either a 5-speed manual, or a 5-speed automatic transmission. Then there is a 1.5-litre i-DTEC unit in the Amaze which makes 98 bhp and 200 Nm of torque. This diesel engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Honda Amaze:
The current iteration of the Amaze.
What’s new on this one :-
- Base E variant will lose out on a tachometer, door-center sash tape and rear grab rails.
- The S trim will gain a double-horn (that will be used a lot!)
- The instrument cluster will be backlit in white and will come with blue gradation and white pointers on the EX, S and VX trims.
- The new Amaze will borrow the 2014 Honda City’s ORVMs.
- ‘Crystal Black Pearl’ colour will be replaced by a new ‘Golden Brown’ shade.
