Honda Amaze 2nd GenvsVolkswagen Taigun

The Taigun is the more complete, modern car with a punchier turbo-petrol engine, 6 airbags, a 5-star Global NCAP rating, ESP/traction control, and a longer warranty, justifying its higher price for buyers who want safety and performance. The Amaze remains relevant for budget-conscious buyers who prioritize a lower price, a roomier boot, and simple, easy-to-maintain running costs.

Daily Commuter

Honda Amaze 2nd Gen · 62% confidence

For pure commuting, the Amaze's lower price, tighter turning radius, and adequate fuel efficiency make it a practical, low-fuss city runabout.

Honda Amaze 2nd Gen

Easier City Maneuvering

A 4.7m turning radius makes the Amaze noticeably easier to park and u-turn in congested traffic than the Taigun's 5.05m.

Honda Amaze 2nd Gen

Lower Upfront Cost

The Amaze's substantially lower ex-showroom price reduces the financial burden for a daily-use commuter car.

Honda Amaze 2nd Gen

Decent Claimed Mileage

ARAI-rated 18.6 kmpl with real-world reports around 17 kmpl is respectable for daily stop-start driving.

Volkswagen Taigun

Idle Start-Stop Saves Fuel

The Taigun's idle start/stop system can improve real-world efficiency during traffic halts, something the Amaze lacks.
