The Honda Amaze has been one of the most trusted family sedans in India for over ten years. Known for its low maintenance and high reliability, the car has now entered its third generation. In this Asli Report (Real Report) to uncover every positive and negative aspect of this new model and explore the engine specs, new design, interior comfort, and driving performance to help you decide if the 2025 Honda Amaze is the right car for you.

Engine and Specifications

Parameters	2025 Honda Amaze
Engine	1.2 L 4 Cylinder Petrol
Drivetrain	FWD
Power	88.50 BHP
Torque	110 NM
Transmission	5 Speed MT, 7 Speed CVT

Unlike some rivals that offer 3-cylinder engines, Amaze continues to use the 4-cylinder unit Honda’s famous i-VTEC technology for a smoother experience. Buyers can choose between a manual transmission and a CVT automatic gearbox.

However, there are a few limitations. There is no diesel engine, and currently, no CNG option is available, which some competitors offer. The car has a ground clearance of 172 mm, which is decent for Indian roads, and a fuel tank capacity of 35 liters. The kerb weight ranges between 952 kg and 985 kg, keeping it lightweight yet stable.

Exterior Design

When it comes to looks, the new Amaze stands out with a sporty and bold stance. It features 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and aero curtains on the bumper to improve stability and mileage at high speeds. The car features smart passive keyless entry and chrome door handles, giving it a premium touch.

While the design is one of the best in the segment, there are some missing features. The car lacks auto-folding outside mirrors (ORVMs), which should have been standard. At the rear, it gets a defogger and a camera, but only two parking sensors instead of four. Also, the tail lamps are halogen units, not LEDs, which feels like a cost-cutting measure.

Interior and Comfort

The cabin features a premium black and beige dual-tone theme. The front seats are very comfortable with good cushioning and side support, and the driver’s seat is height-adjustable. A very convenient feature is the remote engine start, allowing you to start and cool the car using the key before entering.

For rear passengers, entry and exit are easy, and the large windows make the cabin feel airy. The legroom is excellent, and the under-thigh support is strong, making it comfortable for three adults. The AC performance has improved significantly, and rear AC vents are included. However, tall passengers might find the headroom a bit limited, and the rear armrest provides only average support.

Features

The dashboard houses an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. While the reverse camera offers good clarity with three view modes, the user interface looks a bit basic. The instrument cluster is semi-digital and provides plenty of driving information.

In terms of convenience, there is a wireless charger, a 12V socket, and USB ports, but modern Type-C ports are surprisingly missing. Storage space is good, with a large glovebox, bottle holders, and cup holders. However, the steering wheel is not leather-wrapped, and the coat hanger is missing, which are small but noticeable omissions at this price point.

Safety

Honda has focused heavily on safety in the new Amaze. It comes with 6 airbags as standard across all variants. The biggest highlight is the inclusion of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), which includes features like automatic emergency braking. This makes it one of the safest cars in its class. Additionally, it offers 37 connected car features for better security and tracking.

Driving Experience

The driving experience remains a strong point for the Amaze. The car starts silently, and the CVT gearbox offers a very smooth drive with no jerks. For those who want more control, paddle shifters are available to change gears manually. The steering wheel feels heavy and well-connected, providing confidence at high speeds.

The suspension is tuned to be on the softer side. It handles bad roads and bumps very well, keeping the passengers comfortable. However, on very uneven roads, the ride can feel slightly bouncy. The engine is refined and reliable, though some engine noise does enter the cabin when you drive hard. Visibility from the driver’s seat is excellent, thanks to the large mirrors.

Verdict: Should You Buy It?

The 2025 Honda Amaze is a strong overall package. It is perfect for families looking for a reliable, safe, and low-maintenance sedan. The addition of ADAS and 6 airbags makes it very safe, and the exterior design is stylish and sporty.

However, it is not perfect. The price is slightly on the higher side compared to rivals. It misses out on “wow” features like a sunroof, ventilated seats, and Type-C charging ports. If you prioritize a smooth engine, safety, and a hassle-free ownership experience, the new Amaze is a great choice. But if you want a CNG option or a sunroof, you might have to look elsewhere.
