The Amaze model itself captures 40% of the first-time buyer market. The Honda Amaze is manufactured solely in India at Honda’s Tapukara plant in Rajasthan, and it serves both domestic and export markets. Honda Amaze, which is manufactured in India, is shipped to South Africa and other countries in the SAARC region.

The Honda Amaze’s Peace of Mind service offering, which includes a best-in-class 3-year unlimited Kms warranty and low maintenance costs, has been a major selling point for customers. Additionally, all Honda Amaze models sold in India are E20 material compatible, allowing customers to use the new grade of E20 fuel without making any modifications to their car.
