Honda Amaze: What makes it different from Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura?
Honda Cars India has introduced the new Amaze, which takes on the Maruti Suzuki Dzire and the Hyundai Aura. We discuss the aspects that make the 2024 Honda Amaze different from its rivals.
The new Amaze is the first compact sedan in India and the country's most affordable car with ADAS. The Honda Sensing ADAS uses a front wide-view camera to detect road lines, road boundaries (such as curbs) and other objects (such as preceding motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc) during day and night. The signature ADAS features include collision mitigation braking system, adaptive cruise control, road departure mitigation, lane keeping assist system, lead car departure notification, and auto high-beam.
The new Amaze features telematics technology with Honda Connect, offering over 37 features. There is industry-best 5-year complimentary subscription. Honda Connect works with smartwatches (Apple Watch OS 4 and above, and Android Wear OS 2.0 and above) and Alexa.
The 2024 Amaze is the first compact sedan in India to get a lanewatch camera. It is placed below the left ORVM and beams the feed on the infotainment system.
The Honda Amaze is the only compact sedan in India to use a CVT. Rival models like the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura and Tata Tigor come with AMT.
The new Amaze has a 3-year/unlimited-kilometre standard warranty. The customers can opt for industry-leading 7-year/unlimited-kilometre extended warranty. Honda also offers anytime warranty of up to 10 years and roadside assistance.
