The Honda Amaze has an advantage in terms of features, as its top-spec variant gets Level 2 ADAS features, including collision mitigation braking system, lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control. The Aeris, however, misses out on ADAS entirely.
But the Aeris doesn’t fall behind. It gets several first-in-segment features that make it stand out from the crowd. Starting with the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, the Amaze gets a smaller 9.0-inch display. Ventilated seats are also a segment-first feature introduced with the Tata Aeris.
Moreover, the Blind View Monitor, dashcam recorder, leatherette seats, infinity LED connected taillamps, digital floating instrument cluster, and dual smartphone deck are some of the features that make it stand out.
Overall, both sedans offer different strengths. The Amaze is an established player in the market and targets buyers who prefer a simple yet technology-focused cabin. The Aeris’ strength lies in its value-for-money proposition, with a total of eight first-in-segment features.
