Inside, the new 2018 Honda Amaze will come equipped with a new dashboard, featuring a centrally mounted touchscreen infotainment system. A few other highlights of the interior will include cruise control, climate control, keyless entry, reverse camera with parking sensors and a multi-function steering wheel.
Honda Car India has not revealed any details regarding the engine specifications of the new Amaze, although the model is likely to carry forward the same state of tune as the outgoing model. The Honda Amaze, in its current generation, is available with a 1.2-litre petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The petrol motor is capable of producing 87 hp and 109 Nm of torque and comes paired to a five speed manual transmission. The diesel engine produces 99 hp and 200 Nm of torque and is mated to a six speed manual transmission. The petrol variant is also available with a CVT transmission, and is available in a slightly higher state of tune (89 hp and 110 Nm of torque). Once launched in India, the upcoming Honda Amaze will rival the Tata Tigor, Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Volkswagen Ameo and Ford Aspire.
