Honda Amaze vs Maruti Suzuki Dzire: which should you buy?
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire starts at ₹6.26L against the Honda Amaze's ₹7.65L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.39L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹9.31L, where the Dzire tops out. Past that only the Amaze has anything left to sell you, up to ₹10.00L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Amaze comes in petrol, the Dzire in petrol and CNG.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹9.31L to both showrooms and you come out with the Amaze V at ₹8.70L or the Dzire ZXi+ at ₹9.31L, the Amaze leaving ₹0.61L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.61L more for the Dzire ZXi+: about 236 km further between fill-ups, at 24.8 km/l against 19.5 km/l. It also adds 360° camera and tyre pressure monitor. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Dzire ZXi+: single-pane sunroof, touchscreen (9" against 8"), connected car tech and rear parking camera, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Dzire ZXi+, you give up driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital), which the Amaze V keeps
- Choose the Honda Amaze V if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.61L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Dzire ZXi+ if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
