Honda will announce the prices for the next-gen Amaze in India on December 4, 2024. The third-generation sedan will have significant exterior upgrades, like a new hexagonal grille with a honeycomb pattern, and dual-barrel LED headlights with integrated LED DRLs.

The redesigned Honda Amaze is set to go on sale in India on December 4, 2024. The third generation of the compact sedan will have significant exterior upgrades, including a new hexagonal grille with a honeycomb pattern, dual-barrel LED headlights with integrated LED DRLs, a muscular front bumper with bigger intakes, brand-new LED taillights, and new alloy wheels. It is expected to feature a large infotainment system, a single-pane sunroof, a wireless charging pad, a semi-digital driver display, and new upholstery to improve the interior experience over the current model. Upon its launch, the all-new Amaze will renew its rivalry against the Tata Tigor, Hyundai Aura, and Maruti Suzuki Dzire. It will fetch a higher price than the current-generation Amaze (Rs 7.20 lakh—Rs 9.96 lakh), with various cosmetic and feature upgrades. Read on for more details.

New Honda Amaze: Design

The upcoming Amaze is likely to borrow design cues from the current-generation Honda City with a bold, wide grille and a Honda logo prominently displayed in the centre. To highlight its athletic attitude, the bonnet will include strong creases, while the front bumper will take on a sportier appearance with more dynamic lines. Moreover, the new Amaze's headlights will closely match those of the Honda Elevate. Other possible bits include a shark fin antenna, smoked taillights, a reverse camera, and three headrests for rear-seat occupants.

New Honda Amaze: Powertrain

Following the transformation, the powertrain of the Amaze will likely remain untouched, with a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated (NA) petrol engine paired with either a CVT automatic transmission or a five-speed manual gearbox. This unit generates a maximum power output of 90bhp and a peak torque of 110Nm. A CNG option may also be introduced later.
