The i-DTEC engine produces a class-leading max power of 100PS at 3600rpm and 200Nm of torque produced at 1750rpm. The engine is refined and quite silent at idle, however, as revs increase there is some amount of engine noise that seeps into the cabin but over short distances and low revs, it is not an issue. Honda engineers have added more sound deadening materials as compared to the petrol variant to keep NVH levels in check but could have done better.
Honda's next generation technology focuses on both driving performance and fuel efficiency. An all-aluminum 1.6 litre was developed which Honda claims is the world's lightest diesel engine. This engine is now used in Europe making its debut in the 2013 Honda Civic and more recently in the CR-V. For India however, a 1.6 litre diesel could not avail of the excise duty benefits so the engine had to be downsized. Among several other changes, the capacity is reduced to 1498cc.
The five-speed transmission is similar to the petrol but gets reworked ratios and a different clutch to handle the extra load. The gear shifts are seamless and the throws are short, surely making it one of the best transmissions in its class. At low speeds, the engine doesn't knock despite being in a higher gear and even pulls well from low revs, making it perfect in town and on highways. Pass 3000rpm and the engine quickly revs to 4100rpm before shifting to the next gear. Incidentally, the Amaze diesel only gets the five-speed manual transmission while the petrol is offered in both manual and auto boxes. Out on the road, the engine displays very little turbo lag and the power delivery is linear.
The petrol variant shares its engine with the Brio where the 1.2 litre i-VTEC unit produces a similar 88PS at 6000rpm and 109Nm torque at 4500rpm. The engine is rev happy and peppy. Since the Amaze has gone up in weight by just 20 kilos, performance is very similar to the hatchback which itself is a good performer in the hatchback segment. The manual box offers precise shifts and is a joy to use. The automatic unit offers quick shifts but just like the Brio, it takes some time to get the engine to spin after stepping down gears. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed torque convertor depending on the model.
