The second-generation Honda Amaze made its debut recently at Auto Expo 2018, and we’re now bringing you live images of the pint-sized sedan courtesy of IndianAutosBlog. The new Amaze has been redesigned from the ground up, and continues to occupy the sub four-metre entry-level sedan segment.
Compared to its predecessor, the new Amaze boasts a bolder front fascia featuring a thick chrome bar grille inspired by the tenth-gen Civic. Sharper-looking headlights are also fitted here, along with a more reserved bumper that gets smaller fog lamp sections.
Viewed from the side, the higher nose of the new car becomes very apparent. There are also simpler lines here than before, with just a prominent one linking the headlights and taillights. The A-pillars are more upright on the new car, which is likely done to improve interior space and visibility. Along with the less rakish C-pillars, this sees a new shape for the side windows as well.
Around back, there are new taillights, which now extend partly into the hatch. The chrome trim piece previously found between the clusters has been removed in favour of just the ‘H’ logo. The badges also get swapped around a bit, with the ‘Amaze’ now found in the upper left (previously upper right), while the engine type is in the lower right.
We also get a good look at the revised interior too, which adopts a more upright dashboard design. Now, the centre air-con vents, infotainment system and air-con switchgear are more clearly separated from one another, with the last two item appearing more upmarket than before.
Also new here is the steering wheel with a squarish boss and familiar controls for the infotainment system and cruise control function. The driver also gets a new instrument cluster with a twin-pod design rather than three circles found in the first-gen model.
The first-gen Amaze can be had with a choice of two engines – a 1.2 litre i-VTEC petrol and 1.5 litre i-DTEC diesel. While official powertrain specs aren’t out yet, these two engine should be retained. A five-speed manual is a definite as these photos show, while a CVT will likely be the other option.

Ooi mana cari ooi…

Better than saga
The shape look like the Proton Saga…
No ESC with airbags & front seatbelt as optional items. This thing is a deathtrap compared to Saga3.
To be honest the interior of the Amaze is quite nice and modern looking for a budget sedan… If only our Saga Vvt had a similar interior design, it would be so much more appealing. The Saga is actually a really great budget sedan but the horribly dated and boring interior is truly a deal-breaker… And the saddest part is that Proton actually spent money to re-designed the interior only to make it worse that the previous Saga Flx. Haih.
Same saga platform since 2008. More r&d cash needed… P1 becoming volvo. Haih
Buy bezza better!
Biza cannot tahan India roads.
If it is of same price, i will definitely get the Honda Amaze over Bezza
I’m amazed that Honda can make such an amazing UGLY car.
So this is how local Indian Perodua’s doing their job.
The interior quite good rathrr than p1 & p2 I supposed.
Interior just same as Proton Saga but better than Perodua Myvi.
Lol, saga’s interior is really outdated
who cares. it is derived from 2008 saga
Haha..ugly..good job
Honda cars for 3rd world markets really do look cheap and ugly. Maybe the designers should have tried harder.
Its designed by an accountant so what to do.
Good…for third world countries honda and toyotas will sell all that crappy hideous cars …just like toyota avanza in msia
Ugly. But still got honda badge, sure will sell one
refined beza.
This is a clear proof that corporations don’t care what the consumers want, they just want their brand to sell regardless of what they sell and people will still buy. Honda, you’re selling cars, not electronic gadgets like Apple.
When Honda keep on using the front design of their previous Honda sibilings products, seems that they are out of creative ideas. What can they proud of when displaying this product to public? Dont they think it is ugly? Or they are following the footsteps of Toyota which sucessfully creating Vellfire,Alphard,Fortuner but failed in designing Innova? The team of Honda designers should not keep on dreaming that they have created the best product. So there is beauty and the beast in Honda collections if they keep on repeating the same tune of idea rather than to think out of box by taking into account what is the need of public.
There are tonnes of ugly jepunis cars in India. Even persona is much better
The interior looks more premium than my 100k altis
This car is outdated since 2 years ago saw in thailand. The crash test is just acceptable since 2 years ago on my research.
Ops.. this is 4 speed auto..
The interior is nice one, electronic climate control, steering button control, lcd head unit.
The horror is side profile look alike as saga.
