Rumour: Honda developing CNG variant of Amaze

The Honda Amaze has been a strong seller in the compact sedan segment. One of the main reasons for the car's success is its fuel efficient engines. With fuel efficiency figures of 18 kpl and 25 kpl for the petrol and diesel respectively, the car is known to be very frugal. Now Honda is rumoured to be developing a new variant of the Brio-based sedan, which will use CNG.

The CNG variant is expected to use the same 1.2-litre, i-VTEC engine as the petrol car and is likely to have a company-fitted CNG kit with warranty and service benefits. The CNG-petrol combination is likely to make the car even more fuel efficient than it already is. The Amaze CNG is likely to be priced higher than the petrol version.

Recently, Honda had announced that it has sold more than 1,00,000 units of the Amaze in India. The car achieved this milestone in sixteen months since its launch in April 2013 and made it the fastest car to breach the 1 lakh mark in the company's history.
