The Honda Amaze 2018 comes with a unique exterior styling. Majority of its mechanical components are new. It even gets better quality interiors and an improved featured list. However, the car compact sedan still retains it older engine specifications with the addition of a new CVT automatic transmission.
The 2018 iteration of the Honda Amaze is off to a good start in India. In the month of May 2018, the Amaze became the largest selling Honda car in India. In fact, it clocked a total sales number of 9,759 units which is by far the largest a Honda car has ever managed to achieve ever. And there are plenty of reasons to support this. The new Honda Amaze comes with a complete transformation across all parameters. Though looks are quite subjective, we personally quite like this compact sedan’s new appearance. Similarly, its cabin too has upgraded and now gets quite premium. The feature list is now also quite generous and at par with the competition. That said, the engines remain the same as before with similar power and torque outputs. However, the Amaze now comes with a CVT automatic variant across both the petrol and diesel derivatives.
