Honda Cars India To Hike Prices Of Amaze, City From June 1

Honda Cars India has said that it will hike prices of the City and Amaze, by up to 1 per cent starting from June 2023. This decision has been made in response to the increasing cost pressures faced by the company.
 

According to Kunal Behl, the Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Honda Cars India, the extent of the price increase will vary across different variants of the sedans. Currently, the Amaze is priced between Rs 6.99 lakh and Rs 9.6 lakh (ex-showroom prices) and is the smallest sedan offered by Honda in the Indian market. In April 2023, the company had already increased the price of the Amaze by Rs 12,000 due to rising cost concerns.

On the other hand, the City lineup, which includes strong hybrid models, is priced between Rs 11.55 lakh and Rs 20.39 lakh (ex-showroom). However, the upcoming price hike will not affect the strong hybrid trim of the mid-size sedan.
