Honda has unveiled a teaser for the upcoming third-generation Amaze compact sedan, showcasing a front profile that adopts a modern look inspired by models like the Accord and Civic. This new Amaze features sleek, angular LED headlights with integrated DRLs, a honeycomb-patterned grille, and a bold chrome bar, enhancing its sporty appearance.
Stylish and Premium Design
The new Amaze’s refreshed front includes slimmer LED projector headlights on higher trims and a pronounced Honda emblem. The grille’s hexagonal shape and honeycomb pattern are reminiscent of Honda’s upscale models, while large air dams on the bumper add an athletic touch.
Engine Options and Potential for CNG
The 2025 Amaze will retain its 1.2-liter petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual or CVT automatic transmission. Honda may introduce a CNG variant to appeal to a broader market, catering to customers seeking fuel-efficient alternatives.
Competitive Positioning in India’s Compact Sedan Market
Entering a competitive market, the new Amaze will challenge the updated Maruti Dzire (launching soon), Hyundai Aura, Tata Punch, and Hyundai Exter. With these updates, Honda aims to position the Amaze as a stylish, value-packed choice.
Expected Launch and Booking Timeline
Bookings for the 2025 Honda Amaze are expected to open next month, with a full reveal anticipated soon after. The launch signals fierce competition in the compact sedan segment, as the Dzire is also getting a thorough makeover. However, it remains to be seen whether the upcoming sedans can attract customers towards them against the ever-growing compact SUV’s demand.
