Honda Amaze

The third generation Honda Amaze, offers fresh styling, enhanced comfort and upgraded features while representing excellent value for money.

Honda’s design philosophy of Man Maximum/Machine Minimum results in an interior that is designed around people. The design maximises space for passengers and minimises the space taken up by the vehicle’s mechanical components, culminating in an interior that prioritises practicality and comfort.

Interior highlights include a seven-inch driver display, automatic climate control and keyless entry. Centrally mounted on the dashboard is an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system that facilitates smartphone mirroring via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Under the vented bonnet of the latest Type R is a powerful version of Honda’s award winning K20C1 engine of which output, torque and response have all been improved by a redesigned turbocharger, increased air intake flow rate and a new, more efficient exhaust system.
