Sunroof in Dzire comes only in top-most trim. The lane-watch camera is something that will be used more than the sunroof and will be more useful for first time car buyers.
I am surprised by the fact that no reviewer is pointing at the lack of under thigh support even in the front seats, i am 5,7. I instantly compared to the previous version, which was marginally better. Desire has better comfort.
I’m just imagining this car modded in a Japanese style wrap, lowered suspension, body kit and a huge ass spoiler. I think this might look like a great ‘Tokyo Drift’ edition of a car….!!!
Sunroof is not practical in Indian conditions unless you stay in a scenic state like J&K/ Kerala etc. 4 Cylinder Petrol Engine, 172 mm Ground Clearance, CVT Gearbox Option, ADAS Level 2, Cabin Space, Boot Space, Lane watch camera, Service Quality are its biggest strengths.
You should not judge the car seat space start some exercise and start eating boiled food it will help you to adjust on the smaller seats😂 Though good presentation 👍
the channel name is powerdrift and nowhere they mentioned or showcased the fun dynamics of Amaze... just a quote that Honda never drives bad... some other channels hv showed the fun they got out of manual Amaze... the revs... the steering feedback.. the gear shifting... none is shown here 😢
I've known this channel from years. Don't know why powerdrift is so underrated. Wish I could add a couple million of subscribers myseld. Their content is way much underappreciated.😅
Why no review is talking about the horrible front seats and awkward driving position. Feels like a school bench from the 90's that only contacts with 30% of your bottom
The Amaze may not amaze, but I feel the look of the car is a bit of Neo-retro design. Specially the front which is bit on the flatter side...may be say a heavily modified front bumperless Fiat 118NE....which is good BTW! I am liking the looks and the still because it's a 4 cyl. Somehow I felt the Dzire is a bit more premium in this segment! (Tastes may vary) But overall looking nice!
@@CyrusDhabhar : Btw Cyrus... Although you're one of the best car reviewers out there as I mentioned before, I think you must have also pointed out a few short comings of the AMAZE. You did very correctly say that the dashboard has got too many complicated design elements and will sure be a task to keep it dust-free, but did you know Honda has done cost cutting when it comes to painting under the hood? Just open the bonnet and check the paint coating. It's just a primer, nothing else. But, also Honda, unlike the DZIRE has given a carpet like cover to hide the exposed wires of the boot lid. These points in my opinion should be pointed out in the video. Having said all that, you're going great job!
what would you do with a sunroof in the car? this car is not poised for all buyers, its for select classy buyers. i drove the new dzire and its downright 'undesirable'. only car with 4 cylinder CVTin the segment along with ADAS. Honda is provided everything thats required in the price bracket. Its done its best, i think you should be a little more appreciative about that !
4 cylinder, CVT, ADAS at 10 lakhs is a deal and a half. I guess indian buyers want silly features for the cheapest price, and not actually a car which will last 100,000 kms. I have a jazz which runs like new even after 140,000 kms. Have owned Marutis, Chevys, Skodas and VWs, but only Hondas have been super reliable, and never have i had to spend any money besides regular servicing. I drive very defensively, which probably helps minimize issues, but Hondas are just the best point A to Point B cars and are fuss free.
One thing that disturbs me is the grill in elevate and now in amaze. Honda Why can't u make it evenly open rather than half closed plastic and half rectangle open for the air to get in!!!
Ivetc petrol manual Driving in the 3000-4800 rpm range will give the best acceleration, But driving in the 2000-3000 rpm range will give the best mileage. VTEC kicks in after 4800 rpm🔥🔥🔥
Tyre story is pure bullshit! Cook something else. By the time tyre change the car would have ran atleast 60K kms and the once first car person would have become experienced one. Brand does it for cost cutting tats it
Desire has everything good except Sunroof. It is a gimmick not needed in India. Why do I have to pay for something I definitely don't want? Going to a lower variant misses out on Cruise control and reverse park camera. Sunroof is the worst thing that was brought to India. Going with amaze is a better choice(will miss that mileage though)
I think you kinda like the grille in the previous one. The new one looks more classier and has a premium touch. Kinda mimics the City from back and Elevate in the front. I find the new one to be looking good
The Amaze was always a bad car... It still is a bad car. It has the worst suspension ever. Nothing has changed. Just because it's a Honda .. it doesn't equate to greatness.. Stop ruining your brand by taking money and advertising for Honda...
If we would have taken money from a Car brand we would not have added in the several negatives we have. Also, your opinion on the suspension I would like to know better. Please do elaborate how the amaze is ‘bad’ because I disagree
not having armrest is diassappointing...... When we go for longdrive armrest gives good suppport but its not provided in both dizire and honda amaze its vvery bad
ADAS>Sunroof
CVT>AMT
4 cylinders>3 cylinders
But I think both are very reliable products.
Truly
Sunroof in Dzire comes only in top-most trim. The lane-watch camera is something that will be used more than the sunroof and will be more useful for first time car buyers.
That is a really good point!
Agree. Thats exactly why I’ve said it in the review too :)
Sunroof is useless in India
akseffect88 you are making tin can followers cry..
Amaze might not amaze but won't disappoint -Well said
♥️
I am surprised by the fact that no reviewer is pointing at the lack of under thigh support even in the front seats, i am 5,7. I instantly compared to the previous version, which was marginally better. Desire has better comfort.
same problem is with the Elevate. Every reviewer said front seats were best in the segment. I am 5 8" and my thighs were in the air.
It is definitely a very important feature to have!
Strange. I felt nothing lacking in that department. The front seats are in fact the best in the segment. Rears, not so much.
Honda makes very good seats , I can vouch for . I have owned to Hondas jazz and city both incredibly good seats . After years of use also don’t sag.
This is not a feature, but basic necessity in car@@powerdriftofficial
I’m just imagining this car modded in a Japanese style wrap, lowered suspension, body kit and a huge ass spoiler. I think this might look like a great ‘Tokyo Drift’ edition of a car….!!!
That would be a really awesome build!
Hmmmmm good idea. Time to make a render.
Unfortunately, It is slightly chunky. If it were lower, it would have worked nicely.
@ We can lower it with some suspension. And I think bigger wheels will also do the trick.
Eww what? It's fwd furthermore it's 2024 drifting is prob dead in Tokyo by now. But if you want to be a laughing stock go for it lol
When I sat inside it, I was disappointed by the seats. A bit too soft for adequate back support.
The speakers have improved. Touchscreen works good.
We hear you!

This is a perfect family sedan. Stop expecting more for this price range.

Don't tell me what to do
Had to stop watching this video in between as the BGM overpowers what Cyrus is speaking..
Watching it on ZigWheels now😅
Apologies man, we ensure this won’t happen again!

We will do a more elaborate review of the Amaze when we get it back at our HQ
You read my mind , even I was thinking it has both Elevate and Honda City looks...and you clarified it what had happened exactly.
yeaah
I've known this channel from years. Don't know why powerdrift is so underrated. Wish I could add a couple million of subscribers myseld. Their content is way much underappreciated.😅
Thanks for the love! We appreciate you!
Totally agree

Apologies, we'll do a more in-depth review of the Amaze when we get the car at our HQ!
I'll buy it 4 the 4cyl engine alone over the Dzire.
Yes true, this is a 4-cyl!
Safety rating for amaze ?
@@anshdeepchawla1384 not tested yet but as per Honda's internal testing it'd be a 5 star
@@Atmaspeaks oh ok. 4 cylinder with 5 star rating then it’s better than dzrie.
I chose ADAS over Sunroof because ADAS increases safety, Sunroof reduces and Sunroof is expensive to maintain.
Totally! Safety first.
@ Yup
Honda should offer a wood trim for the dashboard instead of this textured panel. At least as an accessory.
They could!
@powerdriftofficial if you could share it with them as a feedback, it would be great. Thanks.
1000000%

That flatness also responsible for lower fuel economy count. No streamlined body.
When every makers shifting to 3 cylinder, Honda remain 4 cylinder catching those customers who look for powerful engine.
You got that right!
Cyrus, you might be the best car reviewers out there... Again, a fantastic job!
Thank you for such kind words man!
Thanks my man! You guys make us better! ❤️❤️❤️

@@arunvelayudhan7105 to be honest, a lot of the mass market cars do not have a painted under bonnet. It’s very common.
An extra like for the claim at 6:38 and i totally buy it.
Is it stable at triple digit speeds ?
Yes. Rides like a car of higher segment
what would you do with a sunroof in the car? this car is not poised for all buyers, its for select classy buyers. i drove the new dzire and its downright 'undesirable'. only car with 4 cylinder CVTin the segment along with ADAS. Honda is provided everything thats required in the price bracket. Its done its best, i think you should be a little more appreciative about that !
Hence Cyrus said, ADAS over a sunroof!
Smooth Reliable 4 cylinder engine with a CVT ❤
You got that right!
Champion transmission
I have 2013 DZire ZXI , and considering this one, I always prefer better ground clearance.
You should go for it!
in Automatic ...AMAZE or KYLAQ ? please suggest

One thing that disturbs me is the grill in elevate and now in amaze. Honda Why can't u make it evenly open rather than half closed plastic and half rectangle open for the air to get in!!!
Kudos to honda for not giving a sunroof and instead give something useful..!!
Safety first!
The older amaze was excellent for driver and front co passenger but the rear passengers suffer big time due its very very soft suspension.
This new generation is a bit more comfortable, but we hear you!
I will not lose my Diesel cvt amaze anytime soon, its a gem of a car 🚗
You are a lucky one, that's a great car!
I like the old front grill,old models look way more classy from the front.
We hear you
It has 10 bhp more than dzire... Will that make a difference?
Nice review Cyrus ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Ivetc petrol manual
Driving in the 3000-4800 rpm range will give the best acceleration,
But driving in the 2000-3000 rpm range will give the best mileage.
VTEC kicks in after 4800 rpm🔥🔥🔥
VTEC is life!
No leather wrap on steering on top end. Felt cheap.
They have done that to keep costs in check!
Shout out for the grab handle for the driver 3:51
Aye Aye
While reading comments i understood that 95% people will go for Amaze but on the roads why we see so many Dzires always?
Scooter? Activa.
Car? Amaze/City.
SUV? CR-V.
Hotel?....
Hahaha!
Saravana Bhavan.
The bgm is that of a 40 lakh. Great video though
Haha, thank you for the kind words!
Amaze might not amaze but it won't disappoint. Nice one. Certainly nothing amazes for ever. It is okay.
It is a solid car, indeed!
What's the obsession with sunroofs seriously. How is that premium feature. From the driving perspective is it as enthusiastic as driving the city ?
Indian car buyers demand for it!
That too a panoramic sunroof would be completely understandable, the small one is completely pointless
Looks like an early 2000's KIA.
Which Kia does it remind you of?
@powerdriftofficial Spectra. It's has that boxy stunted frame with the cheap tiny tires
i wish the civic would release in India !!!
We wish toooo
Will India ever get the Civic lineup?
Nope
You expect an 8 lac ruppee car to be a racecar? Quite stupid.
What about power???
Honda 😎🔥
❤❤
Wth let me hear the bgm, i can almost hear the inches while he is talking about the wheels.
Tyre story is pure bullshit! Cook something else. By the time tyre change the car would have ran atleast 60K kms and the once first car person would have become experienced one. Brand does it for cost cutting tats it
But what Cy said is true
0:34 That is not the meaning of comfort food.
What? The Amaze or bread and butter?
Desire has everything good except Sunroof. It is a gimmick not needed in India. Why do I have to pay for something I definitely don't want?

Sunroof is the worst thing that was brought to India.
Going with amaze is a better choice(will miss that mileage though)

Previous version front was much better. This Elevate grill copy is such a backward step for an iconic car.
Yeah this looks a lot like an Elevate
They really failed to impress first time buyers. Overpriced base model costs 10 lakhs.
What did you not like, could you elaborate?
Dear Honda, Just make a hatchback 😂.
Not a fan of sedans?
Agreed! I’d buy one tomorrow!
@@powerdriftofficial Fan of sedans indeed, but Dzires and Amezes are stretched hatchbacks only!
@@CyrusDhabhar Kindly share customer feedback to to Honda India themselves!
@@powerdriftofficialthis is not a sedan Cyrus 😂
Beuh. Bread and Better is anything but "comfort food" 😅
Whaaaaat, come on!
Last generation amaze was far better looking..
Really? what didn't you like this time around?
I think you kinda like the grille in the previous one. The new one looks more classier and has a premium touch. Kinda mimics the City from back and Elevate in the front. I find the new one to be looking good
Only legends know cyrus sir is doing damage control on this review..😅
could you help us understand better?
What damage control? There have been so many negatives we have brought out.
"MADE A BABY"--😂
hahaha
Talk about being early...
Helloooooo!
Awesome
💪🏻
Front grill too big
Get the old one they'll still sell those alongside this
Yes it is kinda big!
Personally, I enjoyed the old presenters more than Cyrus.
Could you help us understand how we could improve?
Honda is always late 😂 build quality is horrible and feels cheap 😂
this is a step up for sure
The Amaze was always a bad car... It still is a bad car. It has the worst suspension ever. Nothing has changed.
Just because it's a Honda .. it doesn't equate to greatness.. Stop ruining your brand by taking money and advertising for Honda...

We hear you!
It can be opted as an accessory (saw it in another video)
Dezire got
Better looks, better mileage, 5 star n cap rating, why Amaze?
We'll answer your question, with a comparo!
@powerdriftofficial I own a 2020 amaze petrol. I know the difference
