Honda Amaze Diesel Spied With Test Equipment - What's Cooking?

The Honda Amaze is a very popular sub-4-metre compact sedan in India. In fact, the Amaze is currently Honda's best-selling car in the Indian market. It goes on to rival the likes of Maruti Dzire and Ford Aspire, and in weeks to come, the sub-4-metre sedan will even get a mid-cycle facelift. In true Honda fashion, there have been no sightings of the refreshed version but interestingly, a video of the diesel variant with emission test equipment has surfaced internet.

Given that the diesel variant of the Honda Amaze is already BS6-compliant we wonder if the carmaker is planning to retune the motor for the upcoming facelift. Thanks to this 1.5-litre diesel engine option, the Amaze clearly enjoys an edge over the Maruti Dzire. In fact, with an optional CVT, it's the only oil-burner-equipped sub-4-metre sedan to offer an automatic transmission.
