Honda Amaze to be launched in India on April 11, Price expected to be around 6-7.5 lakh, Booking open
The much awaited Honda Amaze saloon will be launched in India on April 11. The carmaker is expected to price its first compact saloon here at around Rs. 6-7.5 lakh. The carmaker has started taking bookings for an amount of Rs. 21,000 (refundable) and is currently promising a 30-day delivery period.
DIESEL STRENGTH
The most awaited information about the new Amaze is of course going to be about the new diesel engine. Honda fans won’t be disappointed here. In terms of refinement levels, the 1.5-litre i-DTEC sounds like a classic Honda powerplant despite the difference in fuel.
In their successful quest to make this the most fuel-efficient diesel in India, Honda engineers have focused on weight reduction and friction reduction in the new engine. The 1,498cc engine itself is an all-aluminium open-deck high-pressure diecast block. Honda claims that mechanical friction has been reduced to the same level as a petrol engine of the same size.
The engine doesn’t rattle very much and even the characteristic common rail engine noise level is much less during the idling cycle. Though Honda engineers from Japan and Thailand said much work was put into sound deadening and noise isolation there is a quite a bit of noise ingress in the cabin at higher rpm levels and during hard acceleration.
