caption_attribution_description: English: Honda Brio Amaze, Cape Town
context_page_description: The Honda Amaze is a 4-door subcompact sedan produced by Honda slotted below the City. It is the sedan version of the Brio hatchback for the first-generation model and followed the same design and architecture with it, while the second-generation model is built on its own platform. Honda launched the Amaze in India in April 2013 and was developed at Honda R&D Asia Pacific Co., Ltd. located in Bangkok, Thailand. The Amaze is available in petrol and diesel engine. It is the smallest sedan in Honda's line-up.
context_section_description: The Amaze is being manufactured at the company's facility in Greater Noida, with a localization level of more than 90%.
  The Amaze is Honda's first diesel offering in India. The car is also available with the 1.2 L (73 cu in) L12B i-VTEC petrol engine that is used in the Fit/Jazz and Brio hatchbacks.
  Apart from being the company's first diesel car in India, the Amaze is slotted in the lucrative sub 4-meter entry-level sedan segment, where it competes against the Maruti Swift DZire, Tata Indigo eCS, Tata Tigor, Tata Zest, Volkswagen Ameo, Ford Figo Aspire and Hyundai Xcent. In the Philippines, the Brio Amaze also competes with the Mitsubishi Mirage G4.
  Honda provides a new India-specific 1.5 L (92 cu in) diesel engine in the Amaze. This engine gets the i-DTEC moniker and it is a derivative of the new 1.6 L (98 cu in) Civic diesel engine recently launched in Europe. This India-specific derivative was developed around excise/taxation rules which offer a favorable tax regime for cars of sub 4-meter cars with engines of less than 1.5 L (92 cu in) capacity. Honda claims this all-aluminum engine is the lightest diesel engine in its class.
  The turbocharger used in the Amaze's 1.5 L (92 cu in) i-DTEC diesel engine was designed and built by Honeywell.
