Refreshed Honda Amaze launched at Rs. 5.30 lakh

Honda has launched the refreshed Amaze in India. The compact sedan has been priced between Rs. 5.30 - 8.20 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

The refreshed version sports a new front bumper as well as a new front chrome grill and new tail lamps.

On the inside, the Amaze gets a new dashboard like the Jazz / City. The interior still features a beige and black theme with the seats, door pads and the lower half of the dashboard finished in beige and the rest in black. There are some silver as well as piano black touches on the inside to add an upmarket look. The seats feature a new fabric as well and the car gets a new '3D' speedometer design with a multi-information display (MID).

The refreshed Amaze continues to be powered by the same 1.2L petrol and 1.5L diesel engines which produce 87 BHP and 99 BHP respectively. Both engines come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. There is however, the option of a CVT (continuously variable transmission) mated to the 1.2L petrol engine in an 89 BHP tune. What's more is that it's more fuel efficient than the manual gearbox at 18.1 km/l (vs 17.8 km/l). The diesel returns a fuel efficiency figure of 25.8 km/l.

The car is available in 4 manual gearbox equipped variants - E, S, SX and VX, while the CVT is available with the petrol S and VX variants only. ABS with EBD is available as standard across all diesel and petrol AT variants, while only the SX and VX grades of the petrol manual get ABS + EBD. Only the SX and VX variants come equipped with dual front airbags.

The Amaze is available in 7 colours - Carnelian Red Pearl, Urban Titanium metallic, Alabaster Silver metallic, Golden Brown metallic, Taffeta White, Orchid White Pearl and a new colour called Bluish Titanium.
