The Honda Amaze facelift has been revealed with a series of cosmetic and specification adjustments by the Indian-arm of the Japanese manufacturer. The powertrain however, remains as it was.
Although it largely appears unchanged, the Honda Amaze facelift boasts a solid wing-design front grille with chrome molding, LED headlamps with integrated signature LED DRLs, a new pair of advanced LED front fog lamps with chrome garnishing and a redesigned lower grille for a wider appearance.
The new C-shaped LED rear combination taillamps with unique signature red luminescence and redesigned rear bumper with chrome detailing and reflectors consist of the changes made to the rear of the Honda Amaze facelift. The updated model also gets a set of new diamond-cut two-tone multi-spoke 15-inch alloy wheels and chrome door handles with keyless entry.
Within the cabin of the Honda Amaze facelift, satin silver details have been applied to the dashboard, door trims and steering wheel while chrome plating is fitted to the air conditioning vent knobs.
Premium seat upholstery with new stitching pattern, a leather boot for the manual transmission shift lever and boot lid lining have been applied in an attempt to make the Honda Amaze facelift feel just a bit more special. The highlight of the cabin however, is the seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple Car Play and Android Auto.
Powering the updated Honda Amaze facelift remains the naturally aspirated SOHC 1,2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a power output of 66 kW and 110 N.m of torque. This is sent to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox or CVT with steering-mounted paddle shifters which the manufacturer accredits to its involvement in Formula One.
Key safety features as detailed by the brand include dual SRS airbags for driver and front passenger, ABS with EBD and ISOFIX seats. This is further enhanced by a new rear multi-view camera with guidelines and a new automatic headlamp control with light sensors.
Honda South Africa is yet to confirm an official introduction date for the Honda Amaze facelift.
