The petrol model is incorporated with a supreme 1.2 liter engine sculpted with the dynamic iVTEC technology. The pick up here is admirable as well at 100 kilometers in only 13.3 seconds.
The exterior of the Amaze is pretty eye catchy; the front portion is designed with artistic carvings. There is a huge air grill in front which is situated below the front grill and headlamp. The air entry vents are creatively designed, the logo is embedded with classy chrome imprints. The front is embedded with a simple yet elegant design which is passed on to the wheel arches.
