Honda keen on quieter City and Amaze diesel engine

Honda has indulged in smart engineering strategies recently, it’s all time engine wonder is 1.5 liter iDTEC diesel engine used in Amaze and all new City. The two cars have done wonders for the company. Honda has made whooping 75% gains in 2014 June, it is just the insertion of 1.5 liter iDTEC engine has done the trick.

Despite the splendid profits attained by the massive demand of both cars, Honda plans to rectify noise issues. The 1.5 liter iDTEC engine is an advanced discovery; it is furnished with glossy aluminium metal, and is noisier than other power trains in its class. The other diesel engines in the market are covered with cast iron, the material is a superb noise absorber, and the absorption capacity is higher than aluminium.

A noisy engine is a strain while driving, more so during long drives, the power of 1.5 liter iDTEC diesel engine is written about in many car magazines and newspapers. Amaze and all new City are successful cars despite the engine noise. The common public perception is Honda should have used a silencer in Amaze. Amaze launched months before City, what the company could not rectify in Amaze was corrected in City. The all new City has a greater noise reduction power, and is miles quieter than Amaze.

Honda has incorporated the iDTEC 1.5 liter engine into its upcoming Mobilio. The car is much quieter than City, the company plans to use the same technique in its forthcoming Jazz car. At the moment Honda’s goal is to engineer a quieter Amaze engine that will be ready by 2015. There is some more excitement to come; the company will launch a facelift variant of the car by end of next year. Honda is working on a superior sound deadening apparatus on all its diesel cars.

Honda has made grand profit figures with Amaze, for months the car is a top seller from its stable. The outpouring power has enabled the company to make month long profits, which is a hallmark, particularly when the market is pressurized to the core. Customers have complained about the shattering noise output, Honda has taken the matter seriously and is geared to correct the defects.

Amaze has the attributes of a desirable car; it is a trendy sub four meter sedan, the cabin room is vastly spacious for its size. About five occupants can easily slide in with ease. So much was written about the car months before its actual launch, the most spoken about aspect was the 25.8kmpl mileage higher than its ace contenders Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire and Hyundai Verna.

Amaze is a source of inspiration for new launches; Hyundai launched Xcent to fight the arch battle with the car. Tata Motors will soon introduce the Zest with a view to rip apart the profit value of Amaze. With the insertion of a less noisy engine, beating the Amaze is going to be a more turbulent battle. If the same level of quieter engine is used on Amaze facelift it is just going to be a huge menace.
