Depending on the variant, you’ll have to cover 1.1 lakh km to 1.27 lakh km with the Honda Amaze diesel manual to recover the extra price you pay upfront over the Amaze petrol. With the automatic, you’ll have to drive at least 1.63 lakh km to justify buying the Amaze diesel  over the petrol automatic.

Should You Buy Honda Amaze Petrol Or Diesel?

With these km-to-breakeven figures, you’ll have to drive well over 1.0 lakh km to recover the higher-upfront costs. These figures are too high and based on these, we don’t recommend buying the Amaze diesel over the Amaze petrol. Especially with the Amaze diesel automatic, you not only have to live with 20% less power and 20% less torque but also 3.7kmpl lower fuel efficiency.

To keep the running costs in check, you can consider buying the Hyundai Aura diesel. While it doesn’t get the smooth CVT automatic, its mileage figures don’t deteriorate with the addition of automatic transmission. If you want to buy a diesel-manual compact sedan, then the Ford Aspire is another option worth considering.
