The least expensive of this lot is the Honda Amaze (compact sedan), which is priced at Rs 6.63 lakh (ex-showroom). This four-wheeler offers sufficient room for 5 in comparison to most compact SUVs available at this price point. Some of the highlight features of the Amaze include a premium cabin finished in black and beige theme, large boot (420 litres), 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Moving up the ladder we have different generations of the company’s most popular sedan, the City. Priced at Rs 9.49 lakh (ex-showroom), City 4th generation model offers customers a larger and more luxurious cabin all at a relatively inexpensive premium. The 4th generation City gets premium upholstery, three ring combimetre and an advanced touch panel for A/C control.

At the top of the charts is the flagship product of Honda car’s range in India. The Honda City 5th generation is among the most premium cars one can buy at a budget under Rs 20 lakh. The four-wheeler offers customers with a luxurious cabin that is finished in sophisticated and high-quality soft touch materials. On the inside we are greeted by a large 8-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, a part digital instrument cluster with G-Force metre and a first in class Home-2-Car connectivity with Amazon Alexa integration.
