Honda Cars India Limited (HCIL) has unveiled the next generation of the Honda Amaze at the Auto Expo 2018. This is the second generation of the model which made its global debut in India. The new Honda Amaze is also being developed at Honda&#39;s R&amp;D base in Thailand but has also seen more inputs from the Honda India engineering team.

Honda&#39;s Tapukara plant in Rajasthan will be the global supply base for the engines for the new Amaze. The new car carries significant upgrades, including a more powerful iteration of the 1.5 diesel.

The petrol 1.2-litre engine remains unchanged and comes with 87 bhp under its hood. Honda has, however, loaded the new car with features, including a new 7-inch Digipad touchscreen infotainment system. This system offers smartphone integration, navigation and a host of other features. The Amaze now borrows its design cues from the City and it looks pretty good actually. Frankly, it looks like the mini-City and that&#39;s not a bad thing. The market launch of the Amaze will happen only later, but for the time being, we get to see how grown-up the car has actually become.

Takahiro Hachigo, President &amp; Representative Director, Hondo Motor Co said, in 2017, Honda provided our products and joy to 30 million customers around the world. The automobile products accounted for 5.3 million of our global sales and India was a great contributor. We are committed to the India market and aim to launch six models in the coming three years. Today we announce three of those models -- all new Amaze and CR-V and much-awaited 10th generation Civic which will be launched in India in Financial Year 18-19.&#39;&#39;

Honda has been closely monitoring the success of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire and it&#39;s looking to beat it at its game especially in the subcompact sedan segment. Honda engineers have also worked on making the engines more fuel efficient.&nbsp;
