So, Honda has been under fire from its fans in India for a while now for not adding new cars to its India lineup. Additionally, the brand chose to discontinue several popular cars such as the WR-V, the Jazz, etc. With a shrinking product line-up, people started speculating that Honda might leave the Indian market just like Ford and General Motors, but thankfully, the rumors never came to fruition.

Shutting out the automotive rumor mills, Honda recently launched the 2024 iteration of the Amaze.

Let’s check out what Honda has to offer in the third generation of the Amaze, in the following sections now, shall we?

What variants are available for the new Honda Amaze?

Similar to the rest of Honda’s India lineup, this Japanese OEM offers the Amaze in three trims: the Amaze V, the Amaze VX, and the Amaze ZX.

The best part is that Honda chose to offer all three trims of the Amaze in both manual and automatic transmissions. This is a winning move from Honda as this makes the Amaze an appealing subcompact sedan for a wider customer base.

What onboard technology and features are available in the new Honda Amaze?

In terms of styling and dimensions, the 2024 Honda Amaze bears some similarities with the 2023 iteration. However, in terms of onboard technology and features, the car can be deemed as ‘fully decked out’.

The 2024 Honda Amaze now comes equipped with –

• An 8-inch infotainment system that is compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto
• An ADAS – level 2
• A semi-digital gauge cluster
• A lane watch camera
• A wireless charging pad
• Automatic climate control
• A set of 6 airbags and
• A much-needed set of rear AC vents!

However, none of the trims available in the 2024 Amaze offer a sunroof, seat ventilation, or leatherette upholstery.

The overall package of the 2024 Honda Amaze is pretty amazing, to be honest, which would make this car hold on to its resale value for years. In this context, it is best to point out that the 2023 iteration of the Honda Amaze is slowly flooding the used car market. This means that the asking price for these used Honda Amaze will be on the lower end. Buying those cars will be a good idea. However, buyers are advised to pay close attention to the used car details such as their separate car inspection reports.

What are the engine & transmission specifications of the new Honda Amaze?

The latest iteration of the Honda Amaze continues to be powered by the ever-reliable naturally-aspirated 1.2-litre petrol engine. The peak power and torque outputs of the engine are set at 89 BHP and 110 Nm respectively. The manual transmission continues to be a 5-speed unit and the automatic transmission on offer is a CVT unit. The claimed mileage of the Honda Amaze manual trim is 19.46 km/l and the automatic trim is 18.65 km/l.

What are the rivals of the New Honda Amaze?

As per companies that offer user car valuation tools, the Honda Amaze rivals are –

• The Maruti Suzuki DZire
• The Hyundai Aura and
• The Tata Tigor.

However, compared to the above cars, the Honda Amaze 2024 is a better option, as per expert opinions.

Should you buy the new Honda Amaze?

Honda cars are known for refined engines, premium interiors, and efficient transmissions. Additionally, compared to its rivals, Honda cars are more reliable and offer commendable after-sales support. In simple words, if you are looking for a reliable car that feels premium from the inside and out then this is the car for you. Additionally, at this price point the overall performance and safety package on offer in this car are exceptional, to state the least – making this car, a steal!
