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 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 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.
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.
₹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.
19.46 kmpl from the 1.2 i-VTEC petrol. There is no CNG or diesel option to change that equation.
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.
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.
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).
Its 172 mm ground clearance is healthy for a sedan — enough for most city obstacles, though it is no SUV.
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.
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.
