The second generation of the Amaze subcompact sedan, which was introduced by Honda Cars India at the Auto Expo 2018, is soon to hit the Indian roads. The company is planning to launch the new Amaze subcompact sedan in the Indian market.
The Amaze made its world debut at the Auto Expo 2018 and the makers boasted about its built on all platforms. The engineering team in India had a lot of say on this new car which is scheduled to be launched in May 2018. As per reports, the car will be available in both petrol and Diesel powertrains.
Honda Amaze, the second edition, is said to feature the first in industry diesel CVT Technology in the Indian market, as this will be the company’s first diesel engine combined with advanced CVT.
The carmaker claims that India will be the first market to launch this technology and it’s the first car from Honda to be launched with a diesel engine. Pre-bookings of the car has been announced by the company and the booking amount begins from ₹ 21,000.
Rajesh Goel, Sr Vice President & Director, Marketing & Sales, Honda Cars India Ltd. said, “The introduction of India’s Diesel CVT technology in the new Amaze, which offers unmatched and superior automatic driving experience, is also a first from Honda globally. We are confident the customers will see great value in this new technology.”
The face of the new-gen Amaze has been inspired from the Accord, with a fresh new grille, newly designed headlamp cluster and a new, bolder bumper as well. The silhouette of the car too has changed, getting a slightly lowered roof-line in order to make it more aerodynamic. The interior too will have updates, with the biggest one being a new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that will have smartphone integration, navigation and so on. The new-gen Amaze has its work cut out, going head-to-head with established rivals such as the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Xcent, Tata Tigor/Zest and the Ford Aspire.
