Honda has just rolled out the third-gen Amaze, with prices ranging from Rs 8 lakh to Rs 10.90 lakh (ex-showroom), and it’s available in three variants — V, VX, and ZX. While it might look a bit pricier than its rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Tata Tigor, and Hyundai Aura, there’s more to this sedan than meets the eye. Let’s dive into why the Amaze V trim is actually the real value-for-money champion of the segment. The V trim comes with two transmission options — a 5-speed manual and a CVT automatic.
