At an ongoing event today in Delhi, Honda has launched their new 2016 Amaze facelift at starting prices of Rs 5.3 Lakhs. The biggest news is the introduction of CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) on the petrol Amaze which makes it the first petrol car in this segment to offer one!
Key Pointers
- New grille
- New headlamps
- Slight modification to the bonnet
- new bumper
- new fog lamp positioning
- Rear combination lights
- In essence, the new Amaze now looks more like the Mobilio from the front.
- Dual airbags optional from the base variant onwards.
- Dual-tone cockpit styled instrument panel
- New 3D speedometer design with MID
Note: Some websites have reported that Amaze facelift comes with automatic climate control from the base variant onwards which is NOT true! Honda has taken off any buttons or knobs for AC control and made them digital for a uniform layout of the center console across all variants. But essentially the base trims till the S (CVT) remain manually controlled ACs (with digital buttons).
