Honda Cars : Honda Amaze interiors spied | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

by Venkat Desirazu

The Honda Amaze is one of the most eagerly anticipated compact sedans in the Indian market and has been a hot topic of discussion in motoring communities across the country. A while ago Team-bhp brought us pictures of the car at a dealership. Now they have managed to get pictures of the interiors of the Japanese automakers highly anticipated sedan.

We have been saying for many months now that the Amaze shares many of its components with the Brio hatchback and this has turned out to be completely true. The Amaze has the same dashboard as the Brio complete with the two-tone design. It has the same instrument cluster, music system as well as HVAC controls. The front and back seats still have the integrated headrests and are in a light shade of beige with brown cushions.

The backseat uses the same colour combination due to the change in design (hatch to compact sedan) looks a lot more spacious than its non-booted cousin. Both headroom and legroom in the back look to be pretty decent for two people and while a third person can fit in the back, it will be a bit of a squeeze. The model that has been spied is the top-end VX petrol, so we can expect that in the lower spec models, the interiors will be quite spartan.

As we have said before, the Amaze will Honda’s first diesel car for the Indian market. It will be powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged i-DTEC diesel engine which produces 90bhp. This has been derived from the 1.6-litre Earthdreams diesel mill that was unveiled last year. The petrol variant will use a 1.2-litre mill which produces 88bhp and 109Nm of torque. This engine also powers the Jazz and the Brio.

Honda Cars : More details on the soon to be launched Honda Amaze surfaces on the internet | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

Honda Amaze is the Japanese automaker’s rescue specialist in India simply because of two reasons.

The Brio based sedan measures under four metres and most importantly it is the very first diesel car in India from Honda. The lack of a diesel product has placed Honda in a very difficult situations and the company hopes that the Amaze comes in as a savior.

The 1.5 litre i-DTEC Earth Dreams diesel engine will make its debut in the Honda Amaze. The engine is a part of Honda’s newly developed family of high tech diesel engines.

As the Honda Amaze is inching closer to its launch date, Team-bhp.com reports that initial lot of cars, mostly the petrol models have already been shipped to the dealerships. Here are the few additional details that are reported by the website.

The Amaze has a ground clearance of 165 mm. The compact sedan gets a new top of the line variant called the VX. Equipment list include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, 8 spoke 14″ alloy wheels, height adjustable driver’s seat, rear defogger, ORVMs with turn indicators, rear seat arm rest with cup holders and an optional automatic transmission for the 1.2 litre petrol variant.

Team-bhp.com also reports that the VX trim will be introduced in the Brio hatchback as well, come April. The power output of the 1.5 diesel engine still remains as a suspense but the speculated figure lies somewhere between 80-90 bhp.

The Honda Amaze is positioned in a price band which includes cars of all types of body styles. We have the premium hatchbacks, compact sedans and even sub 4 metre SUVs in the particular segment. So the Amaze will have to take on rivals with different talents and abilities.

Honda Cars : Honda Brio Amaze with Modulo add-ons (Not for North America) | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

Last week we brought you pics and details of the Honda Brio Amaze from the Thai Motor Expo, now let’s take a look at the accessories on offer by Honda Thailand – Modulo enhancements for the Brio sedan.

A dark coloured showcar isn’t the best to showcase the add-ons but we’ll walk you through the changes. The Modulo bodykit consists of front and rear bumper extensions, side skirts, a “ducktail” bootlid spoiler and a unique front grille. You might also spot door visors, fog lamps and a tailpipe finisher.

It’s hard to not notice the changes in the cabin, headed by a carbon-fibre style dashboard panel. The shiny piece of plastic holds a touch-screen head unit with navi and reverse camera display. The sporty tone is also carried by the gear knob and metal pedals. Oh, and the side sills have ‘Amaze’ logos with LED illumination.

Honda Cars : Honda Brio Amaze first studio shots leak out | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

The Honda Brio Amaze has leaked to the web, ahead of its debut on November 23rd.

Essentially a sedan version of the Brio hatchback, the Amaze has familiar styling but adopts a revised grille, new rear doors and a far more attractive rear end. The overall design is fairly conservative but that's to be expected in a class that values function over form.

The interior will likely carryover from the standard model, but reports have indicated the sedan will have a unique rear seat and revised upholstery.

Engine options remain unconfirmed, but speculation suggests the Amaze will be offered with a 1.5-liter i-DTEC diesel and a 1.2-liter i-VTEC petrol that develops 90 HP (66 kW).
