Here’s All That Has Changed In The Updated Honda Amaze

• Changes on the outside include a new front grille, LED headlights, new fog lamp, tweaked tail lights, and 15-inch alloy wheels from the fourth-gen City.

• Cabin shots reveal silver accents on the dashboard and steering wheel, a new gear knob cover, and what looks like the new-gen City’s touchscreen.

• Will be powered by the same 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines.

• Will take on the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura, Ford Aspire, and Tata Tigor.

The facelifted Honda Amaze launch is barely a couple of weeks away (on August 18), and updates on the compact sedan are coming in thick and fast. After starting pre-launch bookings yesterday, the carmaker has begun rolling out units from its plant in Tapukara, Rajasthan. Additionally, the sedan has been spotted at dealership stockyards, giving us a fair idea of all the cosmetic changes.

Up front, the Amaze will get new LED headlamps (which we think were long due), a slightly tweaked front bumper, a new front grille (with chrome slats and a thinner chrome connecting bar), and new fog lamps with chrome accents around the covering. Head over to the side, and you’ll notice it gets the same alloy wheel design as the fourth-generation Honda City and chrome elements on the door handles. While there’s no shot of the rear end, a teaser video shared earlier revealed LED C-shaped elements in the tail lamps.  

Head inside, and the cabin is pretty similar to the current model, except for a new gear knob covering, silver accents on the dashboard and steering wheel, and what looks like a larger touchscreen infotainment system borrowed from the new City. Expect features like the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, steering-mounted audio controls, cruise control, multi-info display, and keyless entry with push-button start to be retained.

Under the hood, the facelifted Amaze will remain as is, continuing with the 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine options. The petrol mill pushes 90PS and 110Nm, while the diesel motor generates 100PS and 200Nm (80PS/160Nm in diesel-CVT). Both engines get 5-speed manual and CVT options.

Expect the 2021 Honda Amaze to retail at a premium over the current model, which is priced from Rs 6.32 lakh (ex-showroom). The facelifted compact sedan will rival the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura, Ford Aspire, and Tata Tigor.
