Honda Amaze — Price, Mileage, Variants & Expert Review

Luggage first: the Amaze packs a 416-litre boot into a 3,995 mm sub-4m sedan — the kind of number that decides airport runs and wedding-season trips. The rest of the packaging follows the same practical logic: 172 mm of ground clearance, a light 952 kg kerb weight, and a 2,470 mm wheelbase that keeps the rear bench usable for two adults and a child. The 35-litre tank is small, but the light body means it still stretches respectably between fills.

Luggage first: the Amaze packs a 416-litre boot into a 3,995 mm sub-4m sedan — the kind of number that decides airport runs and wedding-season trips. The rest of the packaging follows the same practical logic: 172 mm of ground clearance, a light 952 kg kerb weight, and a 2,470 mm wheelbase that keeps the rear bench usable for two adults and a child. The 35-litre tank is small, but the light body means it still stretches respectably between fills.

Under the bonnet there is exactly one choice to make: the 1.2 i-VTEC petrol with 90 PS and 110 Nm, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 7-step CVT. Claimed mileage is 19.46 kmpl. No turbo, no diesel, no CNG — Honda is betting the refinement of that naturally-aspirated engine and the smoothness of the CVT carry the sale, and for buyers who dislike drama, they do. Driver-assistance (ADAS) features appear on the equipment list too, unusual at this price point.

At ₹7.51-10 lakh across just 6 variants, the Amaze is the easy-to-shop option in the compact sedan space — it ranks 8th on price in a 46-car sedan segment whose median sits at ₹72.5 lakh, which tells you how deep into premium territory that segment stretches. At 12 PS per lakh it is not the value-per-horsepower champion; it is the tidy, low-stress pick.

Amaze vs Rivals

Amaze vs Maruti Suzuki Dzire: From ₹6.26 lakh with up to 33.73 kmpl and a CNG option — the running-cost king; the Amaze counters with its 416-litre boot and CVT smoothness. See the Maruti Suzuki Dzire.

Amaze vs Hyundai Aura: Starts at ₹6 lakh with petrol and CNG at up to 22 kmpl — cheaper to buy and feed, but the plainer choice of the two. See the Hyundai Aura.

Amaze vs Maruti Suzuki Dzire Tour S: The fleet-spec Dzire from ₹6.24 lakh claiming 34.3 kmpl — commercial buyers' territory rather than a private-buyer rival. See the Maruti Suzuki Dzire Tour S.

GaadiInfo Verdict

The Amaze is the compact sedan you buy with your head after your heart wanted something flashier — and six months in, you stop noticing the difference. The 90 PS i-VTEC is smooth rather than quick, and the CVT suits it perfectly. Buy the mid-range CVT variant: it lands under the ₹10 lakh ceiling, gets the useful kit, and delivers the car's core promise — big boot, easy automatic, low drama. The manual only makes sense if the budget is fixed at the entry price.

  • If your running is under about 1,200 km a month, the petrol maths works; beyond that, seriously price a CNG rival before signing — the Amaze has no CNG answer
  • Take the CVT over the 5MT if the car will see daily city traffic; the premium repays itself in left-knee sanity
  • With only 6 variants, dealers have less room to variant-shuffle — negotiate instead on accessories, extended warranty pricing and first-service goodies
  • At PDI, verify boot floor fitment and the spare wheel, check the CVT's creep behaviour on the test start, and match the VIN month to the invoice — sedans can sit in stockyards longer than SUVs

Frequently asked questions

What does the Honda Amaze cost in 2026?

₹7.51 lakh to ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom) across 6 variants — one petrol engine with a choice of 5-speed manual or 7-step CVT.

What is the claimed mileage of the Amaze?

19.46 kmpl from the 1.2 i-VTEC petrol. There is no CNG or diesel option to change that equation.

How does the Amaze boot compare for airport and outstation trips?

At 416 litres it is one of the larger boots in the sub-4m sedan class — two large suitcases plus cabin bags fit without folding anything.

Is the Amaze CVT worth the extra money over the manual?

For city use, yes. The 7-step CVT paired with the light 952 kg body makes traffic effortless, and the 90 PS engine is tuned for smoothness rather than speed anyway.

Why doesn't the Amaze offer CNG like the Dzire and Aura?

Honda sells the Amaze petrol-only. Buyers who need CNG economics have to look at the Dzire (from ₹6.26 lakh) or Aura (from ₹6 lakh).

Can the Amaze handle broken roads and tall speed-breakers?

Its 172 mm ground clearance is healthy for a sedan — enough for most city obstacles, though it is no SUV.

Does the Amaze get driver-assistance features?

Yes, ADAS features are on the equipment list along with LED headlamps, a 7-inch digital cluster and a height-adjustable driver's seat on higher variants.

Is 90 PS enough power for highway driving?

For cruising, yes — the 952 kg kerb weight keeps the power-to-weight ratio honest. Fully loaded overtakes need planning; there is no turbo option if you want more.
