If you’re considering buying a new sedan and are torn between the 2025 Honda Amaze and Maruti Suzuki Dzire, you’re not alone. Both models have made a strong impact on the Indian market with their style, features, performance, and affordability. But which one truly meets your needs in the real world? Let’s compare their design, interiors, features, safety, engine performance, and pricing to help you decide.
Styling and Boot Space: Amaze vs Dzire
Both the Honda Amaze and Maruti Suzuki Dzire stand out with their distinct styling cues.
- The Amaze features a bold front grille and boxy headlights, giving it a muscular and imposing look.
- The Dzire, on the other hand, exudes a premium feel, with its German-inspired design and sleek curves.
In terms of boot space, the Amaze takes the lead with 416 liters, compared to Dzire’s 382 liters.
- The Amaze’s deeper compartment and lower loading lip make it easier to store large suitcases.
- However, the Dzire has a wider boot opening, though its mechanism isn’t as convenient.
Interiors: Comfort and Technology
Both sedans aim to provide a premium cabin experience, but they take different approaches.
- The Dzire boasts a modern, layered dashboard design, while the Amaze keeps it simple with a beige and grey theme.
- Build quality leans in favor of the Amaze, with more solid-feeling buttons and switchgear.
Seating Comfort
- The Dzire’s seats offer better thigh support and overall comfort compared to the Amaze’s slightly flat seating design.
- Both cars feature cloth upholstery, which is well-suited for Indian weather conditions.
Infotainment & Instrumentation
- The Dzire features a 9-inch touchscreen, which is more responsive and modern than the Amaze’s 8-inch unit.
- The Amaze’s part-digital instrument cluster feels outdated, whereas the Dzire’s traditional analogue dials are simpler but effective.
- The Dzire also offers wireless phone mirroring, a feature missing in the Amaze.
Features and Safety: Modern Tech vs Advanced Safety
When it comes to features, both sedans come well-equipped, but the Dzire takes a step ahead with a more feature-rich package.
- The Dzire offers premium features like a sunroof, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and a 360-degree camera.
- The Amaze counters with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), which adds an extra layer of active safety.
Safety Features
- Both models come with six airbags as standard.
- The Dzire holds an NCAP 5-star safety rating, making it the safer bet on paper. The Amaze has yet to be crash-tested.
Engine & Performance: Smoothness vs Efficiency
Both the 2025 Honda Amaze and Maruti Suzuki Dzire are powered by a 1.2-liter petrol engine, but they deliver different driving experiences.
- Amaze Engine: 90PS power, 110Nm torque
- Dzire Engine: 82PS power, 112Nm torque
Driving Feel
- The Amaze’s engine is smoother and quieter, providing a refined driving experience.
- The Dzire’s engine feels slightly gruff, but it delivers better fuel efficiency.
Pricing: Which One Offers More Value?
- The Maruti Suzuki Dzire ZXi Plus (top variant) is priced at ₹11.27 lakh.
- The Honda Amaze VX (top variant) is priced at ₹11.73 lakh.
While the Amaze is more refined and practical, the Dzire offers better mileage, modern features, and an overall comfortable ride.
