India will soon launch the Honda Amaze diesel CVT in a top-spec VX trim. When
launched, it will be the most expensive variant of the compact sedan. Currently, Honda Cars India offers
the Amaze diesel CVT in the S and V trims, and the report states there is
increasing customer demand for a top-end VX CVT with the diesel engine.
Buyers
of the Amaze diesel CVT currently miss out on features like a 17.7 cm
touchscreen entertainment system with GPS navigation, rear camera with
guidelines, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, voice commands, infrared remote
control, an additional USB port, steering mounted voice controls, cruise
control and driver side window one touch up and down with pinch guard.
The Honda Amaze diesel CVT is powered by the
1.5-liter i-DTEC diesel engine capable of 80 PS and 160 Nm of torque, and
claims a fuel efficiency of 23.8 km/l. Last month, the Amaze brought in 10,180
units for Honda Cars India, the highest ever monthly sales by a single Honda
product in the country. The diesel CVT S is priced at INR 8.5 lakhs, and the
diesel V CVT at INR 9.1 lakhs, ex-Showroom, New Delhi. The reported diesel VX
CVT will command a premium of around INR 48,000 over the V CVT.
The top-end Honda Amaze VX CVT diesel could be
launched in time for the upcoming festive season which sees increased demand
for consumer goods as the period is considered auspicious.
