HONDA AMAZE (THE BRIO SEDAN)

      Honda is all set to amaze India with the all new sedan version of its successful hatch, The Brio. The new sedan, built on the Brio platform is named as AMAZE. The amazing factor is that the vehicle is set to hit the roads in early 2013 with a diesel engine - Honda i-dtec diesel engine.




DESIGN:
      Brio was born as a hatch. The biggest challenge for the designers while designing Amaze was also the same. They have to convert a hatch into a descent sedan. The success of Honda designing team in this is the biggest success of the Amaze.

      Design is similar to Brio till the B pillar with semi oval head lamps and Honda's family grille. But from the B pillar onwards, the vehicle is an entirely new sedan with better looks than its nearest compatetor, the Swift Dzire. The clear lens tail lamps adds to the beauty of the rear part with a silver beeding above the number plate. The vehicle has a longer wheel base than Brio, but still lesser then 4 m, which helps Honda to get tax exception. The boxy design at the C pillar increases the head room and the increase in wheel base provides better drivability and better leg room, especially at the rear, when compared to Brio. The back knee room is amazing that it is as much longer as a Cruze or Elantra.


Interior:
      The dash board is very much similar to Brio with a different instrumentation. Front seats are same as Brio, but the rear seats are re designed - Bigger and more inclined. Powerful A/C is another attraction of the Amaze.

ENGINE AND DRIVE:
      Amaze hoods Honda's new 1.5 l, 4 cyl diesel engine. The engine offer good power delivery at low and mid range, which makes the sedan ideal for city drive. But the engine is little noisy at higher rpm. The all aluminium engine is the lightest in its class with 85 - 90 BHP and a mileage around 18 kmpl. Steering is heavier and clutch is lighter with precise shifts and short throws. 


Expected Release:   April 2013
Expected Price    :   6 - 8 L   INR
