The New Honda Amaze CNG option has just been announced, bringing exciting news for eco-conscious drivers looking for a fuel-efficient sedan. While the latest generation of the Honda Amaze is only available with a petrol engine from the factory, customers will have the opportunity to retrofit a CNG kit at authorized dealerships. This move allows Honda to cater to the growing demand for CNG vehicles without compromising on their existing petrol lineup.
Details of the CNG Conversion
Honda has partnered with RTO-approved conversion facilities to facilitate this process, ensuring that customers can easily have their Amaze converted to run on both petrol and CNG. The conversion will be available exclusively for the manual transmission variants, starting at an estimated cost of around ₹1 lakh, although final prices may vary based on local taxes and dealership policies.
New Honda Amaze CNG Option: Warranty and Performance
One of the standout features of this retrofit option is that it maintains the manufacturer’s warranty, provided that buyers complete additional documentation at the dealership post-conversion. After installation, the vehicle will be re-registered with a new fuel type, officially recognizing it as a petrol-CNG vehicle.
In terms of performance, the Amaze has a 1.2-litre petrol engine generating 90 horsepower. The only variant with the CNG conversion is the one with a manual transmission. However, it’s important to note that there may be a slight decrease in power after the CNG conversion, which is typical for such modifications.
Availability and Expectations
Deliveries for the new Honda Amaze with the CNG option are expected to commence by the end of December. This strategic move positions Honda favourably against competitors like the New Maruti Suzuki Dzire, which offers a factory-fitted CNG option. As test drives begin next week, potential buyers will soon have the chance to experience this innovative solution firsthand.
Honda aims to meet customer preferences with this new offering while promoting greener driving options in India’s automotive market. The New Honda Amaze CNG option enhances the vehicle’s versatility and aligns with the growing trend towards sustainable transportation solutions.
