Honda Amaze CNG
Honda Amaze is one of the most popular sub-4 meter sedans in India, but somehow it was getting low sales numbers as compared to its rivals the Maruti Suzuki Dzire & Tata Tigor. One of the reasons behind the high sales of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Tata Tigor is the availability of a factory-fitted CNG option. Now, addressing the issue Honda has installed a CNG kit in the Amaze at dealer level. The brand is not officially promoting it, but a Honda Amaze with a CNG kit has been seen at a dealer showroom.
The Honda Amaze CNG is available at an additional cost of Rs 78,000 for the CNG kit. The CNG kit boasts a 60-litre cylinder and the CNG filling point is located in the petrol filling compartment.
