For years, the Honda Amaze lived in the shadows—trusted, sensible, and painfully invisible. It was the car you bought with logic, not desire.
That changes in 2026.
With the third-generation Honda Amaze, Honda hasn’t tried to reinvent the compact sedan. Instead, it has done something far more dangerous to rivals: it fixed everything quietly.
No drama. No gimmicks. Just a sharper Amaze that suddenly makes a lot of other cars look overpriced.
Subtle on the Surface, Serious Underneath
At first glance, the 2026 Amaze looks familiar—but stay longer and the changes start stacking up.
A new front grille, LED projector headlamps, redesigned alloy wheels, and refreshed tail lamps give the sedan a cleaner, more confident stance. This isn’t a flashy redesign—it’s Honda tightening the suit.
Inside, the cabin finally catches up to 2026. The dashboard is simpler, more premium, finished in a dual-tone black and grey theme. The highlight is an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, flanked by rear AC vents, a center armrest, and wireless charging—features that used to be “nice to have,” now expected.
Honda didn’t overdo it. It didn’t need to.
The Engine You Trust, Because Honda Didn’t Touch It
Under the hood sits the familiar 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine, producing 90 PS and 110 Nm. No turbocharging experiments. No unnecessary complexity.
You get a 5-speed manual or a CVT automatic, tuned for smooth city driving and relaxed highway cruising. Claimed mileage sits between 18–20 km/l, and the engine is E20 fuel compliant, keeping future fuel norms in check.
This is Honda doing what Honda does best—refining what already works.
ADAS in a Car This Cheap? That’s the Real Shock
Here’s where the Amaze quietly flips the segment.
Honda is introducing Level 2 ADAS on select trims—making the Amaze India’s most affordable ADAS-equipped car. That includes advanced safety tech previously reserved for cars costing several lakhs more.
Add standard safety essentials, a reverse parking camera, and improved structural integrity, and suddenly the Amaze feels less like a budget sedan—and more like a strategic threat.
Pricing That Keeps Rivals Nervous
The 2026 Honda Amaze is priced from approximately ₹7.41 lakh to ₹10.00 lakh (ex-showroom) across V, VX, and ZX trims, available in both manual and CVT options.
Deliveries and test drives began in late 2024, and by early 2025, the Amaze quietly started doing what it has always done best—selling without shouting.
Why the 2026 Amaze Matters More Than You Think
This isn’t a revolution. It’s something more effective.
The 2026 Honda Amaze proves that clean design, reliable engineering, smart features, and ADAS safety still matter—especially when wrapped in a price that doesn’t insult the buyer’s intelligence.
While others chase screens and gimmicks, Honda sharpened its knife in silence.
