Maruti Dzire And Honda Amaze Price Hike Incoming

There seems to be a slight shift in the Indian car market of late as both Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Honda Amaze, the two largest choices in the segment, will see prices rise in the next month. This is something of an upset for people looking at the cars, but it’s also an opportunity for those who need these sedans, since they can buy these at their present prices before prices rise. Let’s see into the details of this price increase and find out about the salient features and technical specifications of these two cars.

Maruti Suzuki Dzire The Never-Ending Challenger

Maruti Suzuki Dzire has always been a stalwart in the Indian market. From fuel efficiency, practicality, and a touch of comfort, it has been delivering and impressing on all these aspects. Today, the ex-showroom price for the Dzire ranges from an impressive ₹6.79 lakh to ₹10.14 lakh.

What Makes the Dzire Special

Modern Features: The new Dzire features a 9-inch infotainment system with the convenience of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There is a single-pane sunroof to add a little bit of luxury. Features like a center armrest with cupholders and a wireless phone charger add to the overall driving experience. Safety First: Dzire has received a respectable 5-star rating in the Global NCAP crash test, wherein it ensures passengers’ safety. It offers a 360-degree camera to increase the visibility, 6 airbags for proper protection of the passengers, ESP, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), and Hill Hold Assist for greater surety.

Powertrain Options: The Dzire brings with it flexibility both with 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol and CNG options which satisfies different needs. Fuel Economy: The Dzire claims very good mileage-25.71 kmpl in petrol, 30km/kg in CNG.

Honda Amaze Strong Contender

This also brings the Honda Amaze, famous for its elegant looks and a more refined drive experience, under the same scanner of price change. The current ex-showroom price for the Amaze ranges from ₹7.99 lakh to ₹10.90 lakh.

Important Features of the Honda Amaze:

Powerful Engine: The Amaze comes with a 1.2-liter, 4-cylinder petrol engine that provides 89bhp of power and 110Nm of torque for a more energetic driving experience. Fuel Economy: Though slightly lesser than the Dzire, Amaze still gives an impressive fuel economy with a claimed 19.46 km per liter. Latest Features: Amaze offers an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system for seamless connectivity, a semi-digital driver display for clear readability, wireless phone charger, and a 6-speaker premium sound system with paddle shifters for enhanced audio.

Safety Focus: The high-end model of Amaze focuses on the safety, too, with features such as 6 airbags, an Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) suite, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Traction Control, Hill Hold Assist, Lane Watch, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
