Same money, which car?

Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.10L more for the Amaze - 2nd Gen S: the Amaze - 2nd Gen S shifts itself while the other is a manual. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Amaze - 2nd Gen S: ISOFIX child seat anchorages
- Going to the Amaze - 2nd Gen S, you give up airbags (6 against 2), electronic stability control and tyre pressure monitor, which the Aura SX keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Aura SX if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.10L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Honda Amaze - 2nd Gen S if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
