Depending on the variant, you’ll have to cover 1.25 lakh to 1.45 lakh kilometres with the Honda Amaze diesel manual to recover the extra price you pay upfront over the Amaze petrol. With the automatic, you’ll have to drive at least 1.93 lakh kilometres to justify buying the Amaze diesel over the petrol automatic.
Should You Buy Honda Amaze Petrol Or Diesel?
The price gap between the Honda Amaze petrol and diesel is huge and so is the km-to-breakeven figure. Especially with the Amaze automatic, you’ll need to drive the car for about 2 lakh kilometres just to recover the difference between the upfront ex-showroom cost. Moreover, compared to the Amaze diesel manual, you’re getting less power, less torque and lower mileage with the Amaze diesel automatic. So the Amaze diesel automatic just doesn’t make financial sense for any buyer interested in using the car for personal use.
With the Amaze diesel-manual also, the km-to-breakeven figure is big enough that most customers won’t even manage to recover the higher upfront cost. So, with the Amaze, the petrol engine is a better option from a financial standpoint.
The only other notable reason to consider the Amaze diesel-manual over the petrol-manual is drivability. The Amaze petrol has a lower peak torque than other petrol cars. Its torque also peaks at a higher RPM. So, you need to downshift a gear and rev the engine to extract decent performance. The Amaze diesel has the exact opposite character. It has a higher torque output, which peaks at a much lower RPM, to offer better drivability.
