The Amaze sedan was launched post-facelift by Honda Cars India with a refreshed modern design and more premium features. The facelifted Amaze comes in three trim levels—namely V, VX, and ZX—priced from ₹7.99 lakh to ₹10.90 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India), for only 45 days of introductory offer.
Sculpted Exterior Borrowing the SUV Lineage of Honda
The Amaze facelift has borrowed design language from the Elevate and City to give it a far more bold front end. The new hexagonal grille, finished in chrome, flows uninterrupted into new dual-pod LED projector headlamps paired with crisp DRLs.
The bumper houses slimline LED fog lamps, whereas 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels further enhance the stance. At the rear, the C-shaped LED tail-lamps with a connecting chrome strip finish lend the sedan a refined City-inspired look .
Enhanced Cabin with Upmarket Connectivity
Inside, the Amaze receives a dual-tone dashboard finished in soft-touch materials. An 8-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system is now standard across the board, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well.
A 7-inch semi-digital instrument cluster rounds up the tech-centric cabin. Rear AC vents and wireless charging make life comfortable. Honda Connect telematics come standard. A LaneWatch camera and walk-away auto-lock become available for further convenience and value.
The Segment-First ADAS and Safety Suite
Raising the bar for its class, the Amaze facelift throws the Honda Sensing ADAS suite in the top-end ZX variant. The Level-2 system includes adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, lane-keeping assist, and auto high beam.
All other variants come with six standard airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, traction control, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and a reverse camera .
The Same Engine with Better Efficiency
Under the hood of the facelifted Amaze, the good old 1.2-litre naturally aspirated i-VTEC petrol engine churning out 90 PS and 110 Nm. Buyers can select from a manual transmission with five speeds or a CVT. The manual version promises 18.65 km/l of fuel economy, and the CVT returns 19.46 km/l, making it the epitome of refinement and efficiency.
Impact on the Market and Competitive Positioning
With modern styling, tech-centric cabin, ADAS capabilities, and a refined powertrain, the facelifted Amaze looks to take on rivals like the Maruti Dzire and Hyundai Aura. Launch offers coupled with pricing between ₹7.99 lakh and ₹10.90 lakh position it as a believable contender for those seeking a modern, feature-loaded compact sedan. The early bookings and interest from showrooms indicate that Honda’s value proposition is speaking to potential buyers .
