Honda’s Amaze and Brio will now feature another variant which will sit at the top of the range of both the cars in India. The Amaze will now have the top of the line variant the VX(O) which will feature Honda’s new Audio-Video Navigation which can also be found on the high model range of the Mobilio. The new grade will be positioned above the existing VX grade in Manual Transmission in both petrol and diesel.

Some of the other changes in both cars for example a white illumination speedometer with blue gradation and newly designed electronically foldable ORVMs which comes in handy quite often. The electronically foldable ORVMs and rear defogger are now available from SX variant of the Amaze.

The audio video navigation system features a 15.7 cm touch screen loaded with maps, satellite-based voice guided navigation, and complete in-car entertainment and connectivity features making live more convenient for Amaze and Brio owners. This system comes with an integrated Bluetooth communication function that lets the user sync their phone with it and implement functions on screen including dialing, answering, history, address book and Bluetooth music play with a suggestive keyboard that allows the user to search locations.

Jnaneswar Sen, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Sales, Honda Cars India Ltd feels that the new variants with Audio Video Navigation have been introduced as a result of customer feedback received by Honda. Sen concluded to state “We are also planning to offer a CNG option of the Amaze…”

Now CNG version of the Amaze is probably just what the doctor ordered, especially after success it has received since its launch in April 2013 with more than 1.25 lakh units on the road across the country. Launched in September 2011, the Brio has established itself as well with more than 70,000 units sold since its launch.
