The Honda Amaze 2025 and its competitive price
Enquanto or Renault Kwid, one of the best-selling popular cars in Brazil, surpasses the R$80 barrier in its most complete versions, the Honda Amaze 2025 presents itself as a seductive alternative.
In India, where it was launched, the model costs from 800.000 rupees, which is equivalent to around R $ 56 thousand.
This price difference highlights the Amaze as an attractive option for those looking to save money without sacrificing comfort and technology.
The Indian market has been a fertile ground for cost-effective innovations, and the Amaze seems to be the perfect example of that.
The model is designed to cater to an audience that values accessibility but does not want to compromise on the experience of driving a well-equipped and safe vehicle.
Compact design inspired by the HR-V
The Amaze 2025 features lines reminiscent of the HR-V SUV, with a robust and elegant look. Despite this, it is smaller than the Honda City sold in Brazil, measuring 3.995 mm in length.
This reduced size complies with the rules of the Indian market, which offers tax incentives for cars up to 4 meters long. Even so, the model makes up for its size with a well-planned interior packed with features.
The Amaze's exterior design was designed to be both practical and attractive. Clear lines and LED headlights give it a modern look, while compact wheels help keep production costs low.
Inside, the space is optimized to offer comfort to all occupants, even in a compact car.
Cutting-edge technology and security
The 2025 Honda Amaze does not disappoint in terms of technological features. Highlights include LED lights, automatic air conditioning, wireless charger and an 8-inch multimedia system with a 7-inch digital panel.
Additionally, the car comes equipped with a PM 2.5 air purifying filter, promoting a healthier experience for its occupants.
In terms of safety, the model is impressive. According to Honda, the Amaze has more than 28 active and passive safety features, including lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and side cameras.
Six airbags complete the protection package, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers.
These features, typically found in higher-end cars, put the Amaze ahead of many competitors in its price range.
The presence of technologies such as a wide-view camera and proximity sensors make the model even more attractive for those who value security.
Efficient and practical engine
Under the hood, the Amaze has a 1.2 gasoline engine, which generates 89 hp and 11,2 kgfm of torque.
The model is compatible with a mixture of up to 20% ethanol in gasoline, offering options of five-speed manual transmission or CVT automatic transmission.
For those who like a sporty touch, the manual shift paddles behind the steering wheel add dynamism to driving.
Another strong point is the lightness of the car, which weighs only 986 kg in the most equipped version. This contributes to better fuel economy and performance.
The 416-liter trunk completes the package, ensuring enough space for trips and daily commutes.
In addition, the Amaze promises a smooth and efficient ride, ideal for tackling urban traffic or long-distance journeys.
The combination of an economical engine and reduced weight puts the model in an advantageous position in the competitive market.
Amaze's impact on the global market
With all these attributes, the Honda Amaze 2025 shows that compact sedans still have space in a market dominated by SUVs.
According to the brand, the model was designed to meet the demands of consumers looking for affordable prices and high quality. Its success in India demonstrates the potential for success in other countries, including Brazil.
In addition to its competitive price, the Amaze stands out for its versatility. It can cater to both young drivers looking for their first car and families who need a compact and functional vehicle. This flexibility reinforces its attractiveness in different markets.
The question that everybody wants to hear: When will Amaze hit the Brazilian market? Although there is no official confirmation yet, the combination of price, technology and safety could make the model a strong competitor in the entry-level segment. If the price remains close to the Indian price, the impact in Brazil could be revolutionary.
It seems like these car manufacturers want to sell cheap cars in Brazil.
The problem is not the car manufacturers and the tax burden in Brazil that doubles the value of the car. It is not the car manufacturers that exploit us, it is the government.
Exactly.
And it's not just because of the tax burden. Automakers take advantage of the high import tax burden on cars, and sell cars like the Kwid, Mobile, HB20, and Track here at prices here that are comparable to higher-priced cars like the Civic and Corolla in other countries. The direct tax burden on the product is already high, but with the "coverage" of the import tax, automakers benefit from setting these abusive prices.
A Honda at 56 thousand is a joke, tell me another one, this one doesn't stick
