Honda has teased the new third-generation Amaze ahead of its global debut in the coming weeks, with the official launch expected next month for this sub-4-meter sedan aimed at competing with the Dzire.
The upcoming 3rd Gen Honda Amaze shows a striking design transformation, with sharper, edgier styling that creates a more assertive presence. In the teaser, the signature LED DRLs have shifted from below to above the headlight, and Honda may include rectangular projector elements for both low and high beams, each with LED technology. The hood features bold creases, adding to the car’s angular character, and the grille design looks kinda similar to the latest Honda Accord’s global styling. The lower bumper sports strong C-shaped elements, possibly paired with LED fog lights similar to those on the current Amaze.
While we don’t know what the interiors gonna look like, we can expect it to bear resemblance with the City like dash-mounted 8-inch Infotainment system with Wireless Apple Carplay & Android Auto, a semi-digital instrument cluster which may be exclusive to top variant, dual-tone theme for the cabin, etc. There is also possibility that Honda will offer a single-pane sunroof making it the 2nd sedan in the segment after Dzire which launches on November 11th.
| Engine | 1.2 L 4 Cylinder i-VTEC Petrol Engine |
| Drivetrain | FWD |
| Power | 88.50 BHP |
| Torque | 110 Nm |
| Transmission Choice | 5 Speed MT, 7 Speed CVT |
Regarding the powertrain, Honda is expected to retain the 1.2L i-VTEC petrol engine, paired with the current 5-speed manual and 7-speed CVT transmission options.
There is speculation that Honda may introduce a CNG powertrain option for the Amaze, integrated directly into the vehicle, unlike the separate CNG kit offered with the Elevate SUV.
The new Amaze will likely continue to be built on Honda’s ACE platform, which also underpins the City, though modified specifically for this sub-4-meter sedan.
The current Amaze is priced between Rs. 7.20 lakh to Rs. 9.96 lakh, with discounts of up to Rs. 1 lakh currently available as Honda clears inventory in preparation for the new third-generation model.
The Amaze will directly compete with the Tata Tigor, Hyundai Aura, and the upcoming fourth-generation Maruti Dzire.
Further details on the upcoming Honda Amaze will be announced soon.
