Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), erstwhile registered as Maruti Udyog Limited, stepped into India in the year 1983. The first ever Maruti Suzuki car in India was the Maruti 800, which went on to become the company’s most prominent model, remembered by countless individuals as the revolution of the Indian car industry.

<hr />
The Maruti 1000 was an equally important car for the brand. It was introduced in 1989 with a 970cc engine, and was India’s first modern sedan. While the Zen was launched in 1993 with a 993cc engine, Maruti re-introduced its sedan in 1994 with a bigger, 1298cc engine, and called it the Esteem. Since its start of production in 1994, Maruti had produced 1 million vehicles. There was a second plant inaugurated as well, with an annual capacity of 200,000 units. A new Maruti Suzuki car, the&nbsp;800 was launched in 1998 and it sported a brand new design. The Zen diesel was Maruti’s first diesel car for India, and a redesigned Omni was introduced alongside as well. In the year 1999, Maruti launched a three-box saloon, called the Baleno, and the WagonR, which quickly became a favourite among Indian buyers.

Today, Maruti Suzuki cars model list&nbsp;has, what could easily be, one of the largest model portfolios in the country – starting with the Maruti Suzuki Alto, Alto K10, Swift, WagonR, Celerio, Dzire, Brezza, Ertiga, Gypsy, Eeco, Baleno, Ciaz and Ignis. The production facilities are based in Gurugram and Manesar in Haryana and Sanand in Gujarat.

Maruti Suzuki car prices start from around 2.5 lakh rupees for the 2018 Alto 800. Maruti car price listings can be found on the website of autoX.

With the Vitara Brezza, Maruti Suzuki turns its attention towards the hottest segment in the market – the compact SUV space. Already, Ford has responded by reducing prices of the EcoSport. So, should its competitors be worried? We drive one to find out.

The SUV space has been receiving serious attention from virtually all carmakers of late – not just in India, but globally as well. Car buyers today seem to have a strong preference for SUV’s over more traditional body types, so it’s become a race amongst companies to feed this demand and come up with the next big success story. And this trend is no different in India. Indian consumers have demonstrated a voracious appetite for SUVs, and with the Vitara Brezza, Maruti is looking to get a foothold in the sub-four metre SUV space.

<img alt="Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza Side Profile" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-66951" src="/uploads/2016/03/Maruti-Suzuki-Vitara-Brezza-On-the-go.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" />

But before we get into details of the Brezza, there’s one very interesting aspect that needs to be highlighted. You see, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> has been present in the Indian market for over three decades now. And, over the years, it’s built up a very strong R&amp;D arm in India. But, before the Vitara Brezza, the Indian R&amp;D department had never completely developed a vehicle for the Indian market. However, that changes with the Brezza – as this car has been developed from the ground up by a team of Indian engineers led by Executive Director of Engineering, C V Raman. We had an extensive chat with him about the process followed by him and his team, and he was glad to point out that they were given complete control over the project – including choosing the platform, drivetrain, and design of the vehicle. This is an important milestone in Indian automotive engineering on two fronts, one is the fact that a multinational company has allowed this level of decision making freedom to the local arm of a company, and, two, as we drive the car, we get the chance to evaluate just how well the engineers have been able to set up the car for Indian conditions.

<img alt="Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza Interior" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-66949" src="/uploads/2016/03/Maruti-Suzuki-Vitara-Brezza-Interior.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" />

Now, on to the design – at first glance, the Brezza is a good looking car. And, despite the vehicle measuring under 4-metres, the designers have managed to get the proportions right. Moreover, the big chrome grille certainly gets a lot of attention. In fact, as we drove on the roads of Pune, the Brezza gathered a lot of interest from onlookers. The square wheel arches, paired with the 16-inch wheels gave it a strong stance, and the contrasting roof and mirrors – available as an option on the range-topping ZDi+ version – are a nice touch. And it suits this yellow hue particularly well. This customisation is a unique option that has not yet been offered to customers in the mass market segment in India – and I think that younger buyers will particularly appreciate the sense of style and individualisation it offers them. However, I still feel that the styling of the Brezza is a tad subdued and could have been even more aggressive. It seems that the designers have taken a somewhat safe approach, and tried not to polarise opinions.

<img alt="Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza Fuel Meter" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-66946" src="/uploads/2016/03/Maruti-Suzuki-Vitara-Brezza-Fuel-Meter.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" />

The interiors of the Vitara Brezza are quite impressive too. Barring a couple of components – such as the grab handles – the interior is quite well finished, and quality levels are good. Given the wide track of the car, interior room is also quite good – with three abreast at the back fitting reasonably comfortably. The other highlights include the equipment levels, which are simply phenomenal. The ZDi+ version that we were driving comes standard with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, Cruise Control, Climate Control, Auto headlights, Rain sensing wipers, and even an option to select the colour of the centre dials – which has five options to choose from. In fact, the Brezza offers a single airbag as standard on all versions, and even ABS is available as an option on lower trim versions. And I must say that it’s good to see that manufacturers are now paying serious attention towards road safety in India. The touchscreen entertainment system, which comes fitted with Apple CarPlay, works quite well and is a breeze to use. However, as with most touchscreen systems, it does have an Achilles heel – which is that the screen is difficult to read in direct sunlight. Adding to the equipment levels, and therefore the appeal, are the practical touches to the interiors too – such as the large door pockets, 60:40 split in the rear seat, cooled glove box, and concealed seat undertray. Maruti certainly seems to have taken this page out of Hyundai’s book. Competition is a beautiful thing, and its customers who benefit by getting cars that are loaded to the gills.

The Brezza is currently available only with the massively popular 1.3-litre diesel unit – though a petrol version with the 1.0-litre turbocharged engine is expected later in the year. In this trim, the engine offers 89bhp and 200Nm of torque. Paired with a five-speed manual gearbox – the only gearbox currently available – the Brezza feels peppy and the engine provides very good mid-range response. However, at low rpm, there is discernible turbo lag – which can be a bit annoying in traffic. The NVH levels, though, are well controlled and the Brezza feels quite refined. On the road, it exudes a feeling of solidity. The suspension has been setup very well – not only does it offer good ride comfort, but it also feels very stable at high speeds. With the high ground clearance, tackling bad roads is an easy task – and the suspension handles broken roads with aplomb. The electric steering, while devoid of feel, does have a nice heft to it and responds well. In terms of overall road manners, it seems that the engineers at Maruti Suzuki have managed to find a well balanced set up between ride and handling with the Brezza.

Overall, the Vitara Brezza offers a very strong package with a combination of good design, practical interiors, excellent equipment levels, and aggressive pricing. There are a few shortcomings in the product, such as the turbo lag and a few pieces of plastic that feel low rent, but, keeping in mind the overall package, those few compromises certainly aren’t a deal breaker. Maruti’s competitors, then, will certainly be feeling the heat. Not only does the Brezza have the novelty factor in its favour, but it provides an attractive product at good value. Add to that the brand value of Maruti Suzuki, and you’ve got a sure winner on your hands. The only thing that remains to be seen is whether Maruti Suzuki can keep up with the demand when deliveries start at the end of March.

Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza [2016-2019]

Good stability at high speed

During the test drive, I felt that the body of the Brezza is quite well balanced but it could certainly do with broader tyres. When I purchased my car, I had new tyres installed and that turned out to be a very good decision as it has given the car more stability at higher speeds. Other than this, the car has been very satisfying and faultless.

Engine is quite lazy

It is quite obvious that a car of Brezza’s weight and dimensions should at least have upwards of 100 bhp or so to give it a good performance. Sadly, the car is let down by its engine. It is just not tuned to provide an enthusiastic drive. In terms of looks and features, the car is quite good.

Decent ground clearance helps

Indian conditions favour the SUV more and that is where the Brezza really shines. It is indeed a boon in semi-urban conditions thanks to its ample ground clearance. Also, the seats are big and comfortable which makes crossing rough patches even easier.

A camouflaged test mule of the Maruti Suzuki eVX has been spotted undergoing road tests in India, with an integrated ADAS sensor module visible on the front bumper. This suggests that the upcoming Maruti Suzuki EV may come equipped with an ADAS suite, although this has not yet been officially confirmed. Although the exact launch date is yet to be released, the eVX is expected to appear on the market by the end of 2024. It made its debut as a concept at the 2023 Auto Expo and was publicly revealed as a closer-to-production model at the 2023 Tokyo Motor Show.&nbsp;In comparison to the concept version, the fresh test model has a more subdued appearance with a conventional front grille.&nbsp;A high-positioned stop lamp, gunmetal-coloured multispoke alloy wheels, C-pillar mounted rear door handles, blind-spot monitors, and sweptback headlamps&nbsp;are among other noteworthy design features.

<h2>Maruti Suzuki eVX: Interior</h2>

This time, there are no interior spy photos. However, the e-car by <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> is anticipated to have several features inside, based on prior spy photos and market reports. These include horizontally positioned air conditioning vents, a large touchscreen infotainment unit, a panoramic sunroof,&nbsp;a 360-degree camera, a two-spoke steering wheel, multiple airbags, touch-based controls for the AC vents, ambient lighting, adjustable power seats, a rotary drive mode selector, a multifunction steering wheel, a rearview mirror, and others.&nbsp;

<h2>Maruti Suzuki eVX: Powertrain</h2>

The precise powertrain details of Maruti Suzuki's first electrified car, the eVX, for the Indian market, have not yet been made public. However, industry reports indicate that the vehicle might have an option between a single-motor front-wheel-drive (FWD) and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. With a single charge, the potential range is roughly 550 kilometres for the EV. It is also expected to include 45kWh and 60kWh battery options. The upcoming Maruti Suzuki vehicle will reportedly be constructed on Toyota's 27PL platform, which is based on the born-electric YY8 skateboard-style chassis.

Production has been increased to reduce the waiting period of the compact SUV

Ever since its launch in March 2016, the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza has rocked the sales charts in the segment. In fact, more than 3.57 lakh units of the compact SUV have been sold so far. Demand continues to be high for the manual transmission variant as well as the AMT. Customers are currently required to wait six weeks before they get their hands on the car. Although the Manesar-based carmaker has brought the waiting period down from two months to six weeks, they have now ramped up the production in order to bring it down further.

From April to October 2018, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> produced around 94,000 units of the Brezza – 10 per cent increase from last year. In the month of October 2018, Maruti sold over 15,000 units of the Brezza – that’s more than 500 units a day. The AMT models introduced in May this year also have a great demand. Maruti Suzuki claims that nearly one of every two Brezzas sold in Mumbai is of the two-pedal format. The percentage of AMT sales in Delhi is relatively lower.

And when you consider that the Vitara Brezza is only on sale with a <a href="https://www.autox.com/diesel-cars-in-india/">diesel</a> engine option, the sales number seems even more impressive. Speaking about the motor, the Brezza comes with the Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre motor that pushes out 90 horses and 200Nm. It comes paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed AMT. The Vitara Brezza starts at Rs 7.58 lakh for the base LDI trim and goes right up to Rs 10.33 lakh for the top-spec ZDI+ AMT. Both prices ex-showroom Delhi.&nbsp;

Since its launch in 2016, the Vitara Brezza, Maruti Suzuki’s sub-4 metre SUV, is expected by Indian customers to come up an automatic version.

<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> has finally launched the Brezza AMT in India which will be available in VDi, ZDi, ZDi+ and ZDi+ dual-tone trim options. The five-speed AMT drivetrain will come mated to the 1.3-litre, four-cylinder turbo diesel engine, which generates 88bhp at 4,000rpm and 200Nm of torque at 1,750rpm. The gearbox is Suzuki’s Auto Gear Shift (AGS) system which is also found on the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/alto-k10/">Alto K10</a>, Celerio, Swift, Dzire and Ignis models.

The only visual change to the Brezza automatic can be seen in the interior, as the manual gear lever has been replaced with the automatic lever borrowed form Maruti’s latest generation Swift and Dzire models. Additionally, Maruti has also changed the exterior colour offerings for the Brezza, with a new burnt orange colour as a standard offering and a pearl while roof option for the dual-tone spec. This new colour replaces the blue exterior paint options which has now been dropped. The updated Brezza will also get new glossy black alloy wheels and an all-black interior with refreshed accents.

The Vitara Brezza automatic will come with dual airbags, reverse parking sensors, ABS with EBD and high-speed alert as standard. The variant ex-showroom, Delhi pricing for the Vitara Brezza AMT are as follows:

The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza will now also come in AMT form, mated to its sole diesel power train. Since its launch in 2016, the Vitara Brezza, Maruti Suzuki’s sub-4 metre SUV, is expected by Indian customers to come up an automatic version.

Maruti’s first compact SUV - the Viara Brezza, has crossed the 2 lakh sales milestone in just 20 months from its launch. This has made the Vitara Brezza the highest selling UV in the Indian passenger car market.

The milestone has been achieved in just less than one year. 

<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> took a while to enter the crossover or compact SUV segment. But when they did finally make the debut with the launch of the Vitara Brezza, they seem to have done more than a few things right. It has been a little less than a year since its launch and the car has already registered sales of over 1 lakh units. The compact SUV crossed had registered sales of 50,000 units within seven months of its launch in October 2016. Surprisingly, Vitara Brezza has been among the few cars sales of which haven’t been affected by demonetisation.

Since the time of its launch, the Vitara Brezza has been appreciated for its styling, reliability efficiency, handling and features. So much that the car not only ranked among the Top 5 cars in our annual ‘Best of’ awards but also took top prize as the coveted Indian Car of the Year 2017.

Interestingly, the Vitara Brezza has managed to record 1 lakh sales despite just having a diesel engine on sale. Under the hood, the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza sports the tried and tested 1.3-litre diesel motor that develops 88.5bhp and 200Nm. This engine only comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission – there is no automatic on offer as yet. The Vitara Brezza has been holding its own against promising cars like the Ford EcoSport, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/i20/">Hyundai i20</a> Active and the likes.

At the time of its launch, the Vitara Brezza was priced from Rs 6.99 lakh to Rs 9.68 lakh. Now, with the recent hike in prices, the compact SUV is priced from Rs 7.26 lakh to Rs 9.92 lakh. All prices ex-showroom Delhi.

The Diesel Vitara Brezza is bringing consistent sales for Maruti Suzuki, but petrol will hike the numbers further

After a long wait <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> entered the compact SUV segment with the launch of the Vitara Brezza in March this year. However, to the disappointment of a few, the car was only introduced with a diesel engine. With a difference in cost of petrol and diesel now reduced, not to mention the premium price tag of diesel cars, the demand for gasoline powered cars has been on the rise. And to fulfil the need, Maruti Suzuki is expected to launch the petrol powered Vitara Brezza in the first quarter of 2017. The petrol iteration of the Vitara Brezza is likely to be launched after the introduction of the Baleno RS and the Ignis.

The Brezza petrol is expected to come with the 1.0-litre BoosterJet engine that will make its debut on the Baleno RS. This engine develops 110bhp and 170Nm and comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. In terms of design, the Vitara Brezza petrol will look identical to the diesel counterpart, except of course the badges. Interior too will remain unchanged and the feature list will equal the diesel version too.

Since its launch, the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza has been the best-selling model in the compact SUV segment so much that in just 7 months it had already registered sales of over 50,000 units. Currently, the Brezza has a waiting period of over 6 months. Expect the Vitara Brezza petrol to be priced around the Rs 7 lakh mark for the base variant. &nbsp;With the demand for petrol cars on the rise, the introduction of a petrol powered Brezza is sure to give a further boost to its sales numbers.

After a long wait Maruti Suzuki

Four optional accessory kits will be offered with the Vitara Brezza.&nbsp;

Deliveries of the Brezza commenced on March 25, 2016, but to get one home now you need to wait anywhere between 3-4 months.High-demand and long waiting periods were anything but inevitable given the pricing of the car. It’s also a very well rounded package it has to be said.

Although the Brezza has a lot on offer in terms of features and equipment across all variants, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> thinks that’s not enough. As a consequence, the manufacturer is offering additional accessories. A total of four kits will be offered as optional extras, namely – Basic, Urban, Glamour and Sports.

Here’s what each of the kit packs,

Basic – As the name suggests, this kit includes a basic car kit comprising a phone charger, perfume, back cushion, neck cushion, trunk organizer (storage bag) and steering cover. The Basic Kit can be had for Rs 4,090.

Urban – This kit includes car chrome garnish of front grill, rear doors, body side molding and ORVMs. Additionally, it comes with door sills, door visors with chrome inserts, fog lamp garnish, carpet mat, leather steering cover, neck pillow, cushion set and trunk organizer.

Glamour – This adds a rear-entertainment system with DVD, body graphics, chrome grille garnish, door visor with chrome inserts, illuminated door sills, fog lamp garnish, leather steering cover, neck pillow, cushion set and chrome surrounds on ORVMs,. This will set you back by Rs 23,490. For the same amount, the red coloured car gets PVC designer mats.

In exchange of that sum of money, you get leatherite seat covers, carpet mats (PVC mats for yellow car), front garnish around the radiator grille, side cladding, wheel arc cladding, body graphics, leather steering cover, rear garnish, chrome shrouds on the front grille, neck pillow, cushion set and truck organizer.

Maruti Suzuki has announced that the company will commence deliveries of its first ever developed-in-India vehicle, the Vitara Brezza on the 25th of March, 2015. The Vitara Brezza is a very significant car in its product range as this is the first time India’s leading car maker will be foraying into the buzzing compact SUV segment that has until now not been capitalized upon by Maruti.

The Vitara Brezza was launched in India on the 8th of March 2015. The compact SUV from Maruti Suzuki is available with a single 1.3 litre diesel engine option with prices ranging between Rs. 6.99 lakh to Rs. 9.64 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Maruti is offering a lot of equipment in the car to rival the Ford EcoSport and it has to be said that the Vitara Brezza is a very well equipped car. Safety features such as dual front airbags, ABS and EBD are optional from the base variant onwards.

Announcing the start of retail sales, Kalsi, Executive Director (M&amp;S) shared, “We are delighted at customers’ response to Vitara Brezza.

Maruti Suzuki's all-new Vitara Brezza compact SUV will be seen on the streets soon with deliveries commencing from the 25th of March
Maruti Suzuki

The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza can be had in 6 variants but, which one offers maximum bang for your buck? Find it out in the story below...

The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza was only launched recently. Given how aggressively the manufacturer has positioned the compact-SUV in the market though, it looks like they've got a&nbsp;winner on its hands. The fact that the Vitara Brezza has garnered over 2,600 bookings within two days of launch is a further proof that <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> has another best-seller in the making.

Apart from a tempting price-tag, one of the key USPs of the Vitara Brezza is its features and equipment. The top of range variants come fully equipped with some segment first features such as projector lamps, touchscreen infotainment with navigation system, Apple CarPlay, etc., while the entry-level models are decently equipped as well. Let’s take a detailed look at what each of the Vitara Brezza variants has on offer to the consumer.

Maruti is offering the Vitara Brezza in a choice of 6 variants, namely – LDi, LDi (O), VDi, VDi (O), ZDi and ZDi+. The LDi and LDi (O) variants are identical to each other save for the added safety equipment in the latter – same is the case with VDi and VDi (O) variants.

LDi

The base variant of the Vitara <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/brezza/">Brezz</a>a comes with a decent bit of kit on offer. The LDi gets driver’s airbag, engine immobilizer, audio with CD player and USB, AUX, Bluetooth connectivity, front power windows with auto-down driver window, electrically adjustable ORVMs, tilt-steering, manual air-conditioning and rear seat flip and fold. On the outside, the base model can be identified with its black skid plate and steel wheels shod with 205/60 R16 tyres. It does not have roof rails as well. The LDi variant is priced at Rs 6.99 lakh.

LDi (O)

The LDi (O) variant &nbsp;adds ABS, EBD, front passenger airbag and front seat-belts pre-tensioner with force limiters over the LDI variant. All of that for just an extra sum of Rs 13,000, taking its price to Rs 7.12 lakh. It's actually a great value for money product if you can go without some of the frills offered in the models above.

VDi 

In addition to what’s already offered in the LDi, the VDi variant gets roof rails, wheel caps and blacked-out pillars for a floating roof effect. Feature wise, it comes with keyless entry, rear power windows, electric boot release, audio remote control, anti-theft system, driver side-window with anti-pinch, upper glovebox, gearshift indicator and reverse parking sensor with graphical display. The VDi is priced at Rs 7.62 lakh.

VDi (O)

Like the LDi (O), the VDi (O) adds safety pack to the variant it’s based on. That means for an additional amount, you can equip the VDi&nbsp;with ABS, EBD, dual-airbags and front-seat belts pre-tensioner with force limiters. It’s priced at Rs 7.75 lakh.

ZDi

In comparison to the VDi (O), the ZDi gets a lot more features and equipment. On the outside, it receives roof rails with gun-metal finish, silver skid plate, chrome grille, alloy wheels with wider tyres (215/60 R16), LED daytime running lights and projector lamps and fog lamps. Inside, the cabin gets piano black finish, chrome door handles, mood lighting, height adjustable driver seat, automatic air-conditioning, rear wiper and defogger, steering mounted controls and 60:40 foldable rear seats. The ZDi variant has a sticker price of Rs 8.55 lakh.

ZDi +

The fully-loaded and range-topping ZDi+ is loaded to gills in terms of features and equipment. It adds reverse parking camera, smartplay infotaiment system with navigation, voice commands and AppleCarPlay, cooled glove box, height adjustable seat belts, push start/stop ignition system, cruise control, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, ORVMs mounted turn signals and optional dual-tone exterior shades over the ZDi variant. This is priced at Rs 9.54 lakh, whereas the one with dual-colour theme&nbsp;will set you back by another Rs 10,000.

Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza variants explained

The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza was only launched recently. Given how aggressively the manufacturer has positioned the compact-SUV in the market though, it looks like they've got a winner on its hands.

The launch of Maruti Suzuki’s Vitara Brezza is a serious cause of concern for rivals as it is pushes the boundaries for the compact SUV segment in regard to value proposition

<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> finally has a compact SUV on the market after watching rival brands capitalize on the nation’s craze for the sports utility vehicle. It’s never too late to start they say and that’s exactly the case with the Vitara Brezza for Maruti Suzuki as this new made in India model has what it takes to worry its rivals and more.

Here is a look at some of the highlights of the new Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza:

<ol>
	<li>Most Affordable Compact SUV: The diesel only Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is priced rather attractively between Rs. 6.99 lakh to Rs. 9.54 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The&nbsp;prices of diesel models of the segment&nbsp;leader, Ford EcoSport, start at Rs. 8.19 lakh and go up to Rs. 10.65 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The more rugged and again diesel powered only Mahindra TUV300 is priced between Rs. 7.11 lakh to Rs. 9.34 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).</li>
</ol>

<ol start="2">
	<li>Smallest Compact SUV:&nbsp;Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza redefines the compact SUV space by being the smallest car among its rivals. It may have the same length as the TUV300 and a little bit wider than the EcoSport, but otherwise has a lower height and shorter wheelbase than both its rivals, making it smaller than both its rivals.</li>
</ol>

<ol start="3">
	<li>Smallest Engined Compact SUV:&nbsp;Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza has the smallest engine among its competitors with a 1.3 litre turbo diesel engine developing 88bhp at&nbsp;4,000rpm and 200Nm at&nbsp;1,750rpm of torque. The Brezza has&nbsp;the lowest torque output among its rivals, but it has 4bhp more than the TUV300. Like its rivals, the engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.</li>
</ol>

<ol start="4">
	<li>Most Fuel Efficient Compact SUV: Courtesy to its small engine and Maruti Suzuki’s efforts to make their cars the&nbsp;most fuel efficient in their segments, the new Vitara Brezza too is the most fuel efficient compact SUV in the market&nbsp;with an ARAI rated efficiency figure of 24.3 km/l.</li>
</ol>

<ol start="5">
	<li>Best Equipped Compact SUV:&nbsp;Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza comes packed to the brim with features, which makes it the most well equipped compact SUV in its class. Equipment highlights include segment first projector headlamps, touchscreen CarPlay infotainment system, rear view camera, cruise control, satellite navigation, and electric folding mirrors. Other equipment highlights include keyless entry and start/stop, cooled glovebox, automatic headlamps and wipers. While a driver airbag is standard. Customers can opt for dual front airbags and ABS with EBD from the base variant onwards.</li>

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time!

Well, since July 2013 to be exact – that’s the last time I drove a Ferrari V12 convertible. And it just so happens that the Ferrari 12Cilindri is the spiritual successor of this very machine – a 1971 365 GTS, the Daytona Spider, which directly inspired the styling of the front-end of this machine.
 
 
 
At the time, even in my wildest dreams I couldn’t have possibly imagined that over a decade later, on the 16th of April 2024, Ferrari would ensure that the lineage of the front-engined V12 GT would endure, thanks to the 12Cilindri.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741785060147-1jvd-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-Front.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-Front.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">

And I certainly couldn’t have predicted that I would be at Maranello on that fateful day, when both the Berlinetta and Spider would be unveiled to an unsuspecting bunch of motoring journalists from across the globe. But that was just the unveil. This would finally be my chance to get behind the wheel – here in Cascais in Portugal, on the western most tip of the European continent.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741784879542-zhk3-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-infotainment-screen.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-infotainment-screen.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">The 12Cilindri Spider was kitted out in its launch livery of Verde Toscana, which was offset perfectly by the black contrasting trim. And, to my eyes, it’s an absolutely stunning machine – a design that, for some reason, the pictures simply do no justice! It’s clean and elegant, while being muscular and curvaceous at the same time. There’s a timelessness to the design, and I personally think it’ll age very well indeed.

 
 
 
 


<h2>So, what’s all the fuss about?</h2>

Well, the name is a dead giveaway – the car is pronounced Dodici Cilindri, which literally translates to 12 cylinders in Italian. The engine was so important to this machine – so central to Ferrari in fact – that they decided to name this car after its engine configuration. You see, across the industry, engines are either being downsized and turbocharged or hybridised, or both, so the idea of a naturally aspirated V12 is not just truly alluring but also incredibly courageous from the Prancing Horse. <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741784948629-7w76-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-Rear-View.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-Rear-View.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">Now that’s not to say that Ferrari hasn’t also gone down the turbo and hybrid route already – in fact, with its performance flagship, the SF90, it’s attached a pair of turbos to a V8, not to mention added a battery pack and a set of motors to give it 1,000 horsepower and all-wheel drive. Meanwhile, in the achingly beautiful and spectacularly fast 296, it’s even gone down the V6 route (which is also turbocharged and hybridised) for the first time since the Dino in the 60s. And, of course, it’s also heading down the EV route, with its first all-electric supercar that will be revealed later this year.But Ferrari also wants to retain the essence of its GT cars from the 50s and 60s, which is where the 12Cilindri comes in. And so, this successor to the 812 Superfast gave up its ultimate performance throne to the SF90 and instead embraced its GT roots to make the most of the V12 under the bonnet – which can be both incredibly refined but also insanely explosive, depending on what you do with your right foot.

 
 
 
 


<h2>So, what’s under the hood?</h2>

Now, we’ve been over the specs before, but it bears repeating – it’s a 6.5-litre V12 that produces a scarcely believable 128bhp per litre for a total power output of 818bhp at 9,250rpm and 678Nm at 7,250rpm. It redlines at, brace yourself, 9,500rpm, and it’s so incredibly smooth, plus it revs so fast thanks to its titanium conrods, that you can get up to the redline and not even know it unless you’re looking at the digital tach on the instrument cluster.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741784971851-vk7o-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-1.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-1.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">Yes, it reaches 100km/h in 2.9 seconds and 200km/h in 7.9 seconds from a standstill, but it also has a cabin outfitted with the finest handstitched Italian leather and all the tech you can possibly imagine. It gets three displays – one for the instrument cluster, one for the central screen, where you can connect your phone, and the third is a passenger screen integrated into the dash, so your unsuspecting co-driver can keep an eye on the revs as he or she hangs on for dear life.
 
 
 


Of course, in true Ferrari fashion, it’s got massive gear shift paddles mounted to the steering column – as opposed to onto the steering wheel – which is just how I like them because you always know where they are. The steering wheel has wiper controls and indicator buttons, as well the famous Manettino switch, which you use to control the driving modes. But it also has a very innocuous button on a panel off to one side of the steering wheel that’s marked HELE, which stands for ‘High Emotion, Low Emission.’ That’s Ferrari-speak for the Auto Start-Stop button. Most cars would have an ‘A’ inside a circle, but that just wouldn’t do on a Ferrari. But the thing is that it’s not contrived in the cabin of this car. It’s simply a result of the Ferrari mindset of passion and precision. Of course, they strive for absolute performance and aim for perfection, but at the heart of every decision is emotion – the emotion it evokes when you interact with the machine. And you get a sense of that ethos from everyone who works at Maranello, regardless of whether that person is in his or her first week or a veteran who’s been there for decades.
 
 
 
<h2>So, what’s it like from behind the wheel?</h2>

Well, I would love to tell you that I spent my time in the 12Cilindri Spider bouncing off the 9,500rpm rev limiter, but in fact we were met with a torrential downpour that felt less like Southern Europe and more like South Mumbai in the monsoon. But what these conditions did was usher in a complete revelation in terms of just what this Ferrari GT is capable of.

You would imagine that an 800+ horsepower rear drive beast would be a terrifying experience in the pouring rain – especially on the tight and twisting coastal roads of Portugal, but in in truth, with the Manettino set to ‘Wet,’ it was almost as docile as a Fiat Panda. But the minute you bury your right foot into the carpet, it quickly turns into a thoroughbred stallion – but never a bucking Bronco. You can see the traction control button flashing away on the dash as you try and overwhelm the rear tyres, but the electronics are so well calibrated that it modulates the power perfectly to match the prevailing levels of grip. Sure, you can always get in over your head with that much power on tap but show a little restraint and the 12Cilindri will humour and entertain you in equal measure.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741785017763-ioei-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-Rear-Three-Quarter.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">Of course, any opportunity I got between the near incessant showers, I dropped the top to hear that V12 howl. Sure, it’s slightly muted because of a pair of catalytic convertors and petrol particulate filters, but in ‘Race’ mode, with the flaps in the exhaust open, it’s enough to make your hair stand on end and send chills down your spine. But, really, what stands out in this car is its sheer poise and balance. No one does cohesion quite like Ferrari. Sure, a lot of manufacturers do power and speed quite well, but no one does it with this much style and finesse.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741785044538-hxid-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-Side-Profile.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-Side-Profile.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">

 
 


So, what you’re getting in the 12Cilindri is a level of performance &amp; style mated to a versatility &amp; usability that’s simply unmatched. You get bragging rights and the ultimate tech of course, but what really sets this machine apart is its breadth of capability, which is in a league of one. This really is a car that you can drive cross-country to your favourite racetrack, have a blast at the limit, and then drive home again at breakneck speed – in true GT fashion.

Job well done Ferrari! Thank you for flying the V12 flag – may you continue to do so for a long time to come…

Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider First Drive Review: Versatility in Verde

We drove a naturally-aspirated V12, convertible Ferrari offering maximum involvement but a torrential downpour threatened to spoil the party.

We were quite eager to&nbsp;get our hands on this bike since it was first teased at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/eicma-2024-top-india-bound-motorcycles-to-watch-out-for-118832/">EICMA</a>. The <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/ktm-390-adventure-review-first-ride-107195/">old 390 Adventure</a> was a blast, don't get me wrong, but it had its quirks, especially when pushed off-road. After spending six months commuting on the Royal Enfield Himalayan, I was curious to see how this new KTM stacked up. Well, we recently had the opportunity to thoroughly ride and test it, and let me tell you that it's a significant leap forward. This isn't just a refresh; it's a full-fledged evolution.<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740405360146-iso3-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-5.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 5.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 <h2>KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: Design and Quality </h2>Let's talk about the design first. It's definitely going to spark debate, but personally, I like it. That rugged rally-inspired Dakar vibe works in its favour. The tall windscreen and short front fender look the part, though I did notice a bit of wind noise from the Indian-spec number plate mount while riding, but it's a minor niggle.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/kawasaki-klx-230-review-more-capable-than-hero-xpulse-200-and-re-himalayan-450-118831/">Kawasaki KLX 230 Review: More Capable Than Hero Xpulse 200 and RE Himalayan 450?</a>KTM has tackled some key issues. The 21-inch front and
17-inch rear spoke wheels with tubeless Apollo Tramplr tyres are a huge plus.
The WP Apex suspension is another standout upgrade, offering a noticeably more
compliant and capable ride. An India-specific tweak – the offset rear monoshock
– lowers the seat height to 830mm in the Adventure variant and 825mm in the
Adventure X. On top of that, ground clearance has been increased to a solid
237mm, addressing a major concern from the previous model.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740405472650-uxpi-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-13.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 13.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 The pigmented body panels are a nice touch, promising better scratch resistance since they're painted during the moulding process itself. And the standard kit – knuckle guards, engine guard, and bash plate – is quite useful for off-road scrapes. The forged foot levers feel solid, and you can remove the rubber inserts for better grip while riding&nbsp;in the dirt. My only gripe? The flimsy all-plastic knuckle guards&nbsp;–&nbsp;they would have been much better with metal reinforcements.&nbsp;<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740405792534-0shu-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-7.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 7.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">The new bespoke ADV tubular trellis subframe – KTM claims
that it’s 10% more rigid – feels solid and enhances the bike’s overall
stability. Despite the weight dropping to 183kgs, the 14.5-litre fuel tank
remains unchanged. The overall fit and finish are excellent, offering a premium
feel throughout. The 5-inch bonded TFT screen, borrowed from the new 390 Duke,
is crisp, clear, and easily readable even in bright sunlight. <h2>KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: Ergonomics and Features </h2>The riding position is comfortable and upright – perfect for
long days in the saddle. The new KTM 390 Adventure feels large when you're off
it but seems to shrink around you once you get on and start moving. The
controls are intuitive, and the switchgear is easy to reach. Cruise control is
a welcome addition for highway stints, and the ride modes – Rain, Street, and
Off-Road – are simple to toggle through. A big plus is that ride mode settings
remain unchanged even after switching off the ignition – a thoughtful touch
indeed!
Phone connectivity and navigation feel slick, and the
voice-activated calling is a nice convenience. Unlike the Duke 390, which can
only receive calls, the 390 Adventure allows you to make calls directly from
the bike. Finally, the electronics suite – which includes cornering ABS,
switchable cornering traction control, Quickshifter+, and customizable ride
modes – works seamlessly to enhance both safety and performance.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/royal-enfield-himalayan-in-depth-review-the-flying-sherpa-115536/">Royal Enfield Himalayan Review: The Flying Sherpa!</a><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740405914040-dchb-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-1.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 1.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"><h2>KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: Performance and Handling </h2>Now, let’s get to the good stuff – how it rides. The LC4c
399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine is noticeably smoother, thanks to
the 5mm offset crank. It delivers better low-end grunt than the previous model
but still loves to be revved. Peak power kicks in 1,000rpm sooner, making it
more accessible.
That said, there’s still a noticeable lag before the bike
starts moving. I noticed that it stalled a couple of times when
setting off from a standstill off-road, but far less frequently than the old
bike.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740405943424-ag92-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-15.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 15.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">Acceleration is brisk, with 0 – 60 km/h achieved in 2.6
seconds and 0 – 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds – both quicker than the previous
generation model. The improved mid-range power is quite evident, delivering
faster 30 – 70 km/h roll-on acceleration.
Cruise control, which activates above 20 km/h, performs well
on the highway, especially when paired with Quickshifter+, making for a smooth
and hassle-free touring experience.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/2024-yezdi-adventure-first-ride-review-better-than-the-himalayan-117960/">2024 Yezdi Adventure First Ride Review: Better Than The Himalayan?</a>The bike’s heat management has improved, thanks to the
curved radiator and reprofiled shrouds that divert hot air away from the rider
– a definite and noticeable upgrade. The underbelly exhaust, with its claimed
400mm water-wading capacity, handles water crossings with ease, even when the
water level reaches the engine guards.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740406032170-z2yg-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-3.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 3.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">The WP Apex suspension has received a significant upgrade,
offering a much more compliant ride, as it effortlessly absorbs bumps and rough
terrain. The adjustable open-cartridge system provides 30 steps of compression
and rebound adjustment at the front, 20 steps at the rear, and 10 steps of
preload adjustment at the rear, allowing for fine-tuning across various riding
conditions.
While the increased suspension travel is a welcome
improvement, I did notice the front forks bottoming out a couple of times
during intense off-road testing – enough to throw me off the line slightly. That
said, it’s a fair trade-off for the bike’s sharp on-road dynamics and a huge
improvement over the previous model’s overly stiff setup, which was a common
complaint.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740406059851-vvw3-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-4.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 4.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 Off-road, the bike feels light, balanced, and predictable in
technical sections. Compared to the Himalayan, it’s noticeably sharper and more
responsive. The Apollo Tramplr tyres performed decently across varied on- and
off-road conditions. However, since we didn’t lower the tyre pressure when
going off-road, the front end lacked a bit of bite.
The brakes – a 320mm floating disc with a twin-piston calliper
up front and a 240mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper – are strong and
provide good feedback.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/royal-enfield-himalayan-vs-triumph-scrambler-400x-115920/">2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan vs Triumph Scrambler 400X: Which is Better for Everyday Adventure?</a><h2>KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: Verdict </h2>So, is the new KTM 390 Adventure worth the hype? Absolutely.
It’s a complete and far more refined package. The improvements in engine
smoothness, suspension compliance, and overall capability are substantial. It
still retains the fun, hooligan character we love, but now it’s more versatile
and capable than ever.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740406224156-l0fz-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-6.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 6.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">For
someone like me, who loves venturing off the beaten path, this bike is a
serious contender. It’s fun, capable, and feels right. While I’m still eager to
do a proper back-to-back comparison with its rivals, my initial impressions are
overwhelmingly positive. This is a true adventure bike that delivers on its
promises.

KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: It's Everything You Wanted, And More!

The wait is over. The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure is here, and it's a game-changer. We rode it, pushing it to its limits, and here's our honest take.

Ather introduced their revolutionary Magic Twist regenerative braking system with the 450 Apex, a limited edition model. Then they brought traction control with the Rizta and now, you get the best of both worlds with the updated 450X…and also the new Apex. I got a chance to test out the Magic Twist and the updated traction control system on the new scooter at a go-kart track and even on some off-road patches. So, how good is the 450X now?

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n1zqFDNCeAE?si=8D0u5vi9QkL4qFhH" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

<h2>2025 Ather 450X Review: New Modes and Regen</h2>

The first thing I want to highlight is the multi-level traction control system. While the Rizta had a simpler on-and-off toggle, the new 450 scooters get multiple levels — Rain, Road and Rally. You can also completely switch it off if you want. As one would expect, the traction control system is the most active when you select Rain while Road is meant for daily usage.

In the Rally mode, the traction control is a lot more lenient and it allows you to kick up some dirt. We tested the modes on some loose sand and it worked really well. There is an appreciable difference when testing the scooter in extreme conditions. While the 450X, does not really need a traction control system, it is good to see it nonetheless.

<img alt="2025 Ather 450X Off Road" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-off-road.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

The 450X still gets the same 8.4bhp motor that is capable of producing 26Nm. It is still just as fun to ride and just as responsive too. Ather has introduced a new set of tyres from MRF&nbsp;with the updated scooters. These tyres have been developed specially for the 450 and are meant to offer more range while not compromising grip. And I must say, that I hardly noticed any issue with the grip from the new rubber. Combined with the new regen braking, this setup is claimed to substantially increase the real-world range of the scooter. As per Ather, the TruRange of the 3.7kWh model has gone up from 105km to 130km. That is a healthy boost and we will be eager to test it out when we have the scooter for a longer time.

<img alt="2025 Ather 450X Tyres" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-tyres.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

What I do feel is a missed opportunity is that there is still no ABS. I think adding ABS over traction control would have been more useful. I did find myself locking the brakes a couple of times when on the track. While you may argue that people ride more gently on the road, let me remind you that the conditions out there can be rather unpredictable. Also, now that the 450X supports traction control modes and regen levels along with ride modes, I think that Ather should display them on the screen as well. This would help the rider in knowing what levels of various settings the scooter is in, rather than having to dig deep into menus.

<h2>2025 Ather 450X Review: Colour Options and UI Updates</h2>

Ather has not changed any aspect of the scooter’s design so it remains the same as before. There are, however, two new colour options available now - Hyper Sand and Stealth Blue. I particularly like the Hyper Sand colour options as it has a nice finish and looks rather refreshing. As a bonus, if you get this colour option, you will not have to worry about the scooter looking dirty because of the shade.

<img alt="2025 Ather 450X Screen" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-screen.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

The new 450 scooters also get Atherstack 6 as part of the software suite. The instrument cluster is the same touch unit and is packed with features. However, the response is still lethargic when you use the map screen. There are noticeable stutters while you pan around. I also noticed that while most of the interface operation is smooth, there are the occasional hiccups and moments when the screen does not react as quickly.

<h2>2025 Ather 450X Review: Is it better?</h2>

Altogether, the 450X remains a smart and fast scooter that is more feature-rich than ever before. I feel the Magic Twist is a great addition and one that will find a lot of daily use. The traction control might be less useful but is a good safety feature still.

<img alt="2025 Ather 450X Riding" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-riding.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

As for the pricing, it has gone up ever so slightly by Rs 6,400 for the base 450X and Rs 2,000 for the 450X with the bigger 3.7kWh battery pack.

Similarly, the 450 Apex has also seen a mere increase of Rs 5,001 on the effective ex-showroom price in Bengaluru. And Ather is throwing in the Halo helmet with the Apex to make it more lucrative. Altogether, despite the price hike, the scooters remain smart and safe options to pick if you are looking for an EV in this segment.

2025 Ather 450X Review: The e-scooter for Rallying?

Ather is not sitting on its laurels and is taking every opportunity to make its 450 range as robust and high-tech as possible.

2025 Camry Hybrid First Drive Review: Luxury and Performance with 25kmpl

The new Toyota Camry Hybrid is a big step up from the last generation when it comes to looks, features, and how it drives, and it’s definitely for the better.

Honda was probably the last big carmaker in India to enter the compact SUV scene with the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/elevate/">Elevate</a>. While their product is quite impressive, the late entry means they’ve already lost a big chunk of the market to rival brands occupying the compact SUV space for almost a decade. On the other hand, the sub-compact sedan segment has quite a different story to tell. The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/amaze/">Honda Amaze</a> has been around for a while and has done pretty well. It’s the company’s best-selling model, which consistently drives solid sales numbers for <a href="http://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/">Honda Cars India</a>. The issue now is that aside from commercial (cab) sales, the growing trend is towards SUVs, which means compact car buyers are increasingly gravitating towards those more rugged-looking machines instead of sedans. Perhaps, that's why we don't see many updates in the compact sedan category. Thankfully, after the segment leader Maruti Suzuki Dzire, the Honda Amaze has also received a significant update. The company calls it a next-generation (third-gen) all-new model. However, we were a bit sceptical about the claim until we got behind the wheel of the new Amaze.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5R_56OP1n5c?si=YZft7Jkd5WfBpTyH" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

<h2>Best-looking sub-compact sedan?</h2>

Now, the new Amaze, referred to by the company as the third-generation model, is based on the outgoing second-generation model, with some additional structural reinforcements. The wheelbase remains unchanged, and the side profile looks almost identical to its predecessor. The only noticeable changes are at the front and the rear. While wheels now get a machined design, it doesn't significantly alter the overall side appearance of the car.&nbsp;

<img alt="New Gen Honda Amaze Rear Design" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze13.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

The front has undergone a complete redesign, taking inspiration from the Elevate. Features such as a mesh front grille with a flatter design and headlamp clusters show clear SUV influences. Additionally, the revised bumper also includes redesigned fog lamp housings. Moving to the back, you might be surprised by how much it resembles the Honda City, especially with the new 3D LED tail lamp clusters. In fact, if you are driving behind the new Amaze at night, you could easily mistake it for the City. The rear design is neat and clean, with no unnecessary elements.

<img alt="New Gen Honda Amaze Side View" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze14.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

Overall, while the third-generation Honda Amaze resembles the second-generation model, it combines the Elevate’s front styling with the City’s rear look. Despite the limited attractiveness in the sub-compact sedan market, it remains arguably the best-looking option available in India, offering a proper three-box design characteristic of a true sedan.

<h2>A Better Experience Inside?</h2>

Inside, you may not immediately notice the changes, for the cabin layout is familiar. However, there are quite a few updates, like the newly designed dashboard, with an 8-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system. This setup supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which is pretty cool. Below the infotainment, you'll find HVAC controls taken from the Elevate.&nbsp;What's great here is that everything has proper physical buttons, especially for the infotainment shortcuts.

<img alt="New Gen Honda Amaze Interior" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze-11.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

I really like the presence of physical controls, for it means you don't have to take your eyes off the road as much while driving. The dashboard’s design has been refreshed too, featuring a sleek dual-tone look with an aluminium strip, which adds a nice touch. While the beige part might seem soft to the touch, it’s actually hard plastic. While there are hard plastics all around the cabin, they look and feel decent overall. The flimsy central console in the old Amaze was a big annoyance, but that’s been fixed in this new version. The touchscreen works well and connects effortlessly to your smart devices, with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Plus, the interface is simple and user-friendly. For device charging, the Amaze includes two USB ports up front, a 12V socket in the front and rear, and a handy wireless charging pad. A nice feature of the charging pad is that you can turn it off with a dedicated button. It would’ve been nice if Honda had included a Type-C port too, since most new smartphones use Type-C cables nowadays.

<img alt="New Gen Honda Amaze Infotainment" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze-9.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

The steering wheel looks like it has been lifted from the Honda City but without the leatherette feel. Still, it’s loaded with controls for the infotainment, ADAS features, and the info display on the new instrument cluster, which feels pretty City-like. The cluster has a 7-inch TFT display for all the important info, along with a traditional needle for speed. The seats have been given a bit of a makeover with better bolstering, but the cushioning and fabric remain the same as before, even in the higher trims. They’re quite comfortable, though. Space management has always been a top highlight of the Honda Amaze, and the new model just adds to it. It's been widened slightly, adding extra room for rear-seat passengers and more boot space.

<img alt="New Gen Honda Amaze Rear Seat" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze-1.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

Space was never an issue with the Amaze; it easily fits four adults and up to five mid-size suitcases. You might wonder why there’s a problem fitting a fifth person, and that's because the Amaze finally comes with rear AC vents, which were much needed. However, those centrally-mounted vents can make legroom a bit cramped for the person sitting in the middle at the back. On the bright side, the cabin now cools down faster and better than before.

<h2>Drives Differently?</h2>

The driving experience of the third-generation Honda Amaze is again not a complete departure from the outgoing version, especially in terms of ergonomics. That, however, was not even a problem in the previous iteration. The steering wheel, driver seat, and foot pedals are excellently positioned, instantly offering you a comfortable driving posture. Coming to the drivetrain, the same 1.2-litre four-cylinder i-VTEC petrol engine is the sole option here, and it continues with the same 5-speed manual and CVT automatic gearbox options to choose from in all three trim levels. While most other brands have shifted to more economical three-cylinder configurations, the Amaze still offers the four-cylinder configuration, but the good thing is that it's slightly more refined. Now, we expected Honda to add a bit more punch to this drivetrain, but unfortunately, that's not the case. It continues to deliver about 89 horsepower and 110Nm of torque. Now, the power output here is pretty adequate for this kind of setup, but the torque could have been improved. Honda says that they have altered the tuning of the engine as well as of the gearbox a bit, but we didn't quite feel the changes. The engine still sounds strained when you press hard on the throttle pedal, but you don't quite feel inside the cabin, perhaps, because the overall structure is now more strengthened. Honda also seems to have reworked the insulation of the Amaze, for it filters out the engine noise and road harshness more effectively, offering a slightly quieter ride experience than before.

<img alt="New Honda Amaze Front and Side Design" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze-12.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

Now, coming to the gearbox, we drove the CVT version of the new Honda Amaze. This is probably the only car on the market with the smoother CVT gearbox, as most of the competition has shifted to AMTs, with the fun of paddle shifters whenever you need a manual downshift for overtakes or engine braking.

<img alt="Honda Amaze Gear Shift" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze-10.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

One thing that I was expecting in the new Amaze was a better suspension setup. However, it feels more or less the same as that of the outgoing model. The softer setup of the car gobbles all the road undulations without any hiccup at low speeds, but the high-speed damping and the stability beyond three-digit speeds remain questionable. Maybe that's another reason Honda is not even offering any more powerful drivetrain options. To be honest, this setup is near perfect for your daily city commutes as well as some occasional short weekend escapes, especially considering the enhanced safety kit of the new Honda Amaze.

<h2>The Most Affordable ADAS&nbsp;Car in India</h2>

Honda has enhanced the structure of the Amaze by incorporating 45 per cent high-tensile steel, reflecting their commitment to safety. The vehicle comes equipped with a range of safety features, including six airbags, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, rear parking sensors, Hill Start Assist, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, and ISOFIX-compatible rear seats. Additionally, all five passengers have access to seatbelts and head restraints, starting from the base V grade. The mid-level VX grade adds a rearview camera and a Lane Watch system, which provides a view of the side lane on the infotainment screen when the turn indicators are activated. This feature is particularly useful, as it helps minimise blind spots when changing lanes or directions.

<img alt="New Gen Honda Amaze Front Camera" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze-14.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

The standout feature of the new Amaze is in the top-end ZX grade, which starts at Rs 9.67 lakh (ex-showroom) for the manual transmission variant. It is now the most affordable car in India to offer an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) package. It includes Honda Sensing technology, which, in the Elevate SUV,&nbsp;has previously performed well in tests. This camera-based system includes features such as Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lead Car Departure Notification, and Auto High Beam. While these features enhance safety during forward motion, there is no ADAS support for reversing.

This is the first time a manufacturer has introduced a level-2 ADAS package in a car priced under ten lakh rupees, which is a significant milestone. Overall, these features contribute to making the Amaze a safer choice compared to many other options on the market. In fact, the Elevate, which uses the same Honda Sensing technology, was one of the top performers in our recent Mega ADAS test.

<h2>Next-gen or Facelift?</h2>

While the platform and drivetrain remain unchanged, we can't truly categorise this as a next-generation version. However, the numerous updates both inside and out, along with the addition of new features, make it much more than just a simple facelift. As mentioned earlier, it is arguably the best-looking car in its segment.

Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/mega-adas-test-cover-story-exclusive-stories-118393/" rel="bookmark" title="Mega ADAS Comparison Test: Curvv EV vs Seltos vs Elevate vs Verna vs Astor vs XUV700 vs XC40 Recharge">Mega ADAS Comparison Test: Curvv EV vs Seltos vs Elevate vs Verna vs Astor vs XUV700 vs XC40 Recharge</a>

Honda has decided not to offer a base variant this time, perhaps, because&nbsp;sales patterns suggest that most customers opt for either the mid or top variants. For these variants, Honda has packed the new Amaze with features right from the starting point. Although it lacks certain luxury features like a sunroof or an automatic IRVM, it includes all the essentials and offers enhanced safety. Consequently, the Honda Amaze is a great value-for-money offering in the compact sedan segment.
