Amongst an avalanche of new SUV launches, this year has seen a steady influx of new sedans. At the volume end of the segment, it has been the Maruti Suzuki Dzire and the new Honda Amaze which have given buyers more options in the sub Rs 15 lakh space.

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire and the Honda Amaze are two of the most popular models in the Indian sub compact sedan market.

Looks like the winds are coming back to the compact sedan space. After Maruti Suzuki launched the new Dzire in November, Honda Cars India has now joined the game with the third-generation Amaze. Both vehicles have enough to put up strong fights against each other.

Honda Cars India launched the third generation of the Amaze in India. This generation gets exterior updates, revised interiors, and an updated set of features. It rivals the Maruti Suzuki Dzire in its segment,

The new Honda Amaze brings a host of class-leading features, including an impressive 416-litre boot space. But will this be enough to make Maruti Suzuki sit up and take notice?

At the Amaze launch, Honda President and CEO Takuya Tsumura took a veiled dig at the Dzire, saying that other models in the segment cater to the commercial taxi requirements in a big way.
