• The Freestyles engine produces more torque than the Amazes and has a better torque-to-weight ratio than the Amaze.
• Both the cars are equally fuel-efficient but in the real world, we expect the Freestyle to deliver better results as it makes its torque much lower in the rev band than the Amaze petrol.

Amaze 1.5 L, 4-cylinder diesel engine also gets a CVT type automatic transmission, which makes 80PS of maximum power and 160Nm of peak torque. Amaze diesel automatic claims to deliver a fuel-efficiency figure of 21kmpl.

Diesel Engine Review

• The Freestyle and the Amaze have identical power output.
• The Freestyles engine produces more torque than the Amazes.
• The Freestyle doesn’t offer diesel + automatic combination while the Amaze does and at a very attractive price too. What you lose with this combination is 20% power and torque and 15% mileage. It is priced well though and the trade-off for refined diesel automatic may be worth it to some buyers.
• The Amaze 1.5 L diesel manual is more fuel-efficient than the Freestyle manual.

The Freestyles engine offers more torque, so it will offer better driveability compared to the Amazes engine.
