New-gen Honda Amaze launch this year: What to expect?

Demand for sedans has depreciated significantly over the last few years with the market warming up to SUVs and high-riding crossovers.

Only a handful of sedans are now left on sale in the market with only a few of them bringing in decent volumes. One of them is Honda Amaze rivalling the likes of Maruti Dzire, Hyundai Aura, and Tata Tigor.

Currently in its second generation, Honda continues to sell a sizable number of Amaze on a monthly basis. A large section of buyers are fleet operators since Amaze is very popular in the taxi space. According to a recent report by Autocar India, the Japanese automaker will update the compact sedan with a new generation model.

New-gen Honda Amaze: Expected launch, underpinnings

The recent media report suggests that Honda will launch the new-gen Amaze in India during the festive season, most probably around Diwali, later this year. The current car has been on sale since 2018 and received a mid-cycle facelift in 2021. The report indicates that the new Amaze will be based on the same platform underpinning City and Elevate.
