New Honda Amaze vs new Maruti Dzire specs comparison — A solid Dzire to Amaze

The fourth generation Maruti Suzuki Dzire became an obvious choice when it was just launched, outshining all its direct competitors. However, Honda has also given a generational update to the Amaze, making it stand shoulder to shoulder with the former. How do these two budget sedans compare to each other on the sheets? Here’s a new Honda Amaze vs new Maruti Dzire specs comparison.

Engine and gearbox options

The new Maruti Suzuki Dzire has to do with a three-cylinder petrol engine, while the Amaze gets a proper four-cylinder i-VTEC. But, the Amaze still misses on the option of a factory-CNG option, which is available as a dealer-level modification though. This might cost Honda quite a good number of customers. The Amaze does get a CVT though, which we can comment on only after driving the car (which we’re doing on the 11th of this month; stay tuned to our YouTube channel for the review!).

Design and dimensions

The most noticeable changes on both these cars have to be credited to the exterior designers. These sedans look a lot more upmarket than their predecessors. The Dzire, as we have said before, looks a lot like popular Audi cars, but it does have a character of its own. Its overall exterior design looks sophisticated and appealing. This does not mean that the new Amaze isn’t appealing. It gets its face from the Elevate and its rear end from the City. To sum it up, both these cars borrow key styling elements from cars above their segments, but have adapted them to create an overall cohesive look. The Amaze boasts of class-leading rear seat space, thanks to its wider cabin. It also has a 20mm longer wheelbase, and also has best-in-class ground clearance that's 9mm more than that of the Dzire.

Interior and features

Starting with the dashboard setting, the one on the Amaze has a cleaner approach, while the one on the Dzire features lots of distinct surfaces. The layout is identical, with a floating touchscreen, with air-con vents below, and the HVAC control panel further down. Interior theme on both the cars is beige-coloured, enhancing the sense of space. Distinct Maruti Dzire features include a sunroof, 360-degree cameras, and a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Features exclusive to the Amaze include an ADAS suite, remote engine start/stop, and lane watch camera. TPMS is offered on higher-spec variants of the Dzire, but is available as an accessory for the Amaze.

Amaze vs Dzire price difference

All prices mentioned are ex-showroom, Delhi

Note: Honda Amaze V is comparable to Maruti Suzuki Dzire VXi, VX to ZXi, and ZX to ZXi+

The 2025 Maruti Suzuki Dzire is available in four trims — LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+, while the 2025 Honda Amaze is being offered in three trims — V, VX, and ZX. The Amaze gets the option for both automatic and manual transmissions on all three trims, while the Dzire gets the AMT from the VXi variant. The Honda Amaze base variant costs Rs 20,000 more than the comparable Maruti Dzire variant. The difference between the starting automatic variants of both the cars is Rs 95,000. The Amaze’s top-end variant costs Rs 75,000 more, but for that extra money, you get a camera-based Level-2 ADAS suite, more boot space, better ground clearance, but you might also feel shortchanged when you get features like a sunroof and 360-degree cameras on the cheaper Dzire. Notably, the top-end manual variants of both the sedans are priced exactly the same. Which one would you choose? Let us know!

Note: The comparison is based on the specifications of both these cars and we are yet to drive them side-by-side in order to provide a hands-on test report.
