An updated Honda Amaze sedan is now available in South Africa! See what’s changed as well as what you can expect to pay for the Amaze below…
The Honda Amaze sedan was introduced back in 2018 and now the Japanese marque has brought an updated iteration to market with a few changes based on customer demand and feedback.
What’s changed?
Subtle changes make a noticeable difference to the Amaze’s appearance.
For starters, the previous single-wing grille has been replaced with a ‘softer’ grille design and the rear bumper now wears chrome trim while the taillights have also been mildly revised.
The updated colour range on offer for the Amaze includes Platinum White, Lunar Silver, Radiant Red and Meteoroid Grey (metallic).
South African buyers are not particularly fond of beige interiors and Honda has heeded customer feedback and rather opted for a full-black interior for the Amaze.
There are 2 trim grades on offer including the Amaze Trend and higher-specced Amaze Comfort.
The Amaze Trend is equipped with a central audio system that offers Bluetooth and MP3 playback as well as AM/FM radio functionality. A USB and Aux input is also fitted. The Amaze Comfort now boasts an upgraded 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability and a reverse camera.
As far as the engine performance is concerned, the Amaze calls upon a naturally-aspirated 1.2-litre petrol engine with a power output of 66 kW and 110 Nm of torque.
The Amaze Trend pairs this engine with a 5-speed manual transmission while the Amaze Comfort gains a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with shift paddle mounted behind the steering wheel.
Honda claims a fuel consumption figure of 5.6 L/100km for the manual Amaze while the CVT claims 5.7 L/100km.
Safety features include dual airbags and ABS with EBD. Note that Brake Assist and Electronic Stability Control with Traction Control are not offered.
