Q. How is the driving experience?

While the power delivery from this petrol engine is acceptable for city commutes, the overall performance has to be one of its weakest links. To begin with, the engine is refined and offers a smooth pickup. In bumper-to-bumper traffic, the sedan will ‘amaze’ you. However, it falls short in its mid-range and doesn't offer strong acceleration. The engine lacks the juice it requires for overtakes, and while it starts to come to life after crossing 2500-3000 RPM, getting there requires patience. So, most of the time, you will find yourself shifting down gears or patiently waiting for the engine to get moving quickly. It’s lack of punch is especially felt on hilly terrain or even dual carriageways where overtakes need to be quick. The petrol-CVT is the ideal commuter setup. It complements the nature of the engine and offers you a smooth and relaxed drive. On the other hand, The Amaze’s 100PS 1.5-litre diesel engine has to be the complete opposite of the petrol punchy and exciting. This engine gets a strong mid-range and feels like a sweet-revving motor. Another great thing is that ample torque is available even towards the low-range, which saves your time and energy shifting down the gears. You will appreciate the torque and response it offers with the slightest of tap. However, one thing that some might complain about is that the engine does feel a tad bit vibey. The clutch is towards the heavier side, which might trouble you in bumper-to-bumper traffic. On the other hand, the five-speed gearbox has short throws and is quite slick, really. Be it on the highway or within the city, the diesel is our pick of the two. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive.

It's good enough. The clutch should have been lighter and with smaller play

Very good
