Honda’s second-generation Amaze is much more than a new sub-4 metre sedan. Many of us enthusiasts have grown up revering the genius of Honda, a company led by engineers. In a highly value-conscious market brand Honda won over car buyers even while striking a hard bargain. Remember the no-diesel years, or the City without a CD player?
But, over the last few years Honda’s magic wore thin. The good news is, Honda says they have corrected course, the proof of which should lie in the second generation Amaze. Powered by the familiar 1.2 litre i-VTEC petrol and 1.5 litre i-DTEC diesel engine with a choice of manual or CVT gearboxes packages into a larger and more stately body, the Amaze is looking to jump to the head of the sub-4 metre sedan segment. Can it? And can it prove that Honda is ready to be Honda once again? We find out. Honda's Amaze will be launched in May 2018, and we expect it to be priced on par with its chief rival, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire.
