With the Honda Jazz, Honda WR-V, and fourth-generation City discontinued, the company only has the Amaze and City to offer. However, the Honda City with its hybrid powertrain has an upper hand in the segment. It is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine that works in tandem with an electric motor and a battery pack to deliver a claimed mileage of 27.13kmpl.
Meanwhile, the Amaze misses out on a diesel powertrain and can be had only with a 1.2-litre petrol engine. The motor generates 89bhp and 110Nm of peak torque and is mated to a five-speed manual and a CVT unit.

The Honda City petrol has a starting price of Rs. 11.49 lakh whereas the hybrid range begins from Rs. 18.89 lakh. The Amaze can be had in E, S, and VX variants with prices starting at Rs. 6.99 lakh, ex-showroom.
