New-gen Honda Amaze exterior & interior sketches revealed

The third-generation Amaze will be launched in the Indian market on December 4.

Honda has released a set of digital sketches of the third-generation Amaze. The upcoming compact sedan will take on the newly launched Maruti Suzuki Dzire in the Indian market.

The new-gen Honda Amaze has been designed at the Honda R&D Asia Pacific centre in Thailand. The overall styling appears to have been heavily inspired by the Honda City. The car has an almost upright hexagonal grille at the front with sleek LED headlamps on either side. A prominent shoulder line runs along the sides and seamlessly blends into the rear fascia. 

The rear end of the new Amaze looks almost identical to its larger cousin, the City. The wraparound taillights have an S-shaped LED light signature. Overall, the design looks clean and crisp. The car also has a shark fin antenna and dual-tone alloy wheels.

The new Amaze is expected to have a 2-tone interior with a simple, horizontal dashboard. The design and layout look similar to those of the Honda Elevate. It features a free-standing touchscreen in the centre, rectangular air conditioner vents, a compact climate control module, and a 3-spoke steering wheel.

Under the bonnet, the new-gen Amaze is likely to retain the same 1.2-litre petrol engine. This unit produces 89 BHP and 110 Nm and is available with either a 5-speed manual or a CVT.

The third-generation Amaze will be launched in the Indian market on December 4.
