Honda’s Drive to Discover is something auto journalists look forward to every year, because it is one of the very few events that gives the opportunity to explore the diverse terrestrial and cultural environments of India. As a prelude to the Drive to Discover 2015, Honda organized a two-day drive to Rann of Kutch to introduce the new and improved Amaze and drive it across the sprawling expanse of Rann.
A drive to Rann of Kutch was a dream come true for many of us, because Gujarat is not in the list of car manufacturers when it comes to organizing media test drive programmes. So with that first-time excitement, I joined a group of two dozen auto journalists in Ahmedabad to experience Gujarat roads for the first time.
Along with the improved sound insulation, the new top end trim level of the Amaze (VX O) now gets a 15.7cm touchscreen infotainment system compatible with CD/DVD, Bluetooth, iPod, USB, and aux. It also comes with auto-folding wing mirrors and blue-lit instrument cluster from the Honda Mobilio. Prices for the new Amaze variant are Rs 7.32 lakh for the VX (O) MT petrol and Rs 8.20 lakh for the VX (O) MT diesel.
We sauntered along the well-laid roads of Gujarat that sliced through lush mustard fields, rows of salt piles and hundreds of windmills. The new satellite navigation system of the Amaze seamlessly guided us to Bhuj while the car’s brilliant high-speed composure, good mid and top-end grunt along with improved NVH helped cover the 400 kilometres from Ahmedabad to Bhuj without much discomfort.
