The 2024 Honda Amaze was launched starting at ₹8 lakh, ex-showroom. The third generation of the sub compact sedan was launched with a 1.2 litre petrol engine only. Interestingly, now the Maruti Suzuki Dzire rival can be had with CNG option as well, however with a twist.
Many of the Honda dealers have reported that they are converting the 2024 Honda Amaze to CNG model. However, unlike a regular aftermarket conversion, this conversion is done in partnership with RTO and RTO-approved CNG conversion is used only. The dealers are charging ₹1 lakh for the conversion, however the final amount will differ based on the state taxation structure.
After the conversion is completed, customers will need to sign additional paperwork at the dealership. Once all the required procedures are finalised, the dealer will resubmit the vehicle to the RTO for updating the fuel type to petrol-CNG. Just like the second generation Amaze, the new model will also use the Lovato CNG kit.
Lovato is a trusted name in the aftermarket, and comes with a 60-liter capacity tank. This tank will be installed in the trunk, which will slightly decrease the available cargo space. Additionally, while the 1.2 litre four cylinder petrol engine produces 89 bhp and 110 Nm of torque, with the CNG conversion, the sub compact sedan is expected to produce lower output.
