This question arises in the mind of every compact sedan buyer , there are many options in the market available , but which to choose as per your requirement , So today i’m going to give you guys a comparison of the 3 best compact sedan in the market:
- Maruti Suzuki Dzire
- Honda Amaze
- Ford Aspire
Let’s start with the dzire which every buyer is going to look for the first , the fcaelift of the car is launched with BS6 engine option only in petrol , the diesel is discontinued to due the new emission norms . The is now update and gets updates like revised front and rear bumpers ,powerful LED headlamps with DRLs , revised interior and more features on offer .
The Dzire gets new BS6 compliant petrol dual jet VVT engine, it is 1.2L unit and is paired to 5 speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission and is know as AGS according to Maruti Suzuki. In automatic variant we get hill start assist and ESP . The performance is quite smooth and linear, the automatic gearbox adds to convenience for city driving but out on highway the gearbox takes its own sweet time shift the gears. But in terms of mileage Dzire nails it , returning an outstanding mileage between 23-24 km/l claimed by maruti suzuki .
HONDA AMAZE
This is the 2nd-generation of honda amaze , this car gets update as per the BS6 emission norms and gets both petrol and diesel engine options with the automatic CVT gearbox . The amaze gets best legroom compared to dzire and aspire . The quality of interior is not that great which we expect from Honda. The dashboard gets very hard plastic and the infotainment system of the car is not that slick .The part where is the car is unbeatable is the space on offer , there is good legroom and knee room , head is quite less and might be an issue with tall passengers .
The performance of the amaze is good, both the engines are punchy. The diesel is 1.5L unit and petrol is 1.2L , diesel is more faster and eager than the petrol and gives better mileage than petrol ,Diesel returns mileage of 23-24 kmpl and petrol returns a mileage of 17-18 kmpl .The refinement levels of the petrol are better than the diesel . Both the engines get automatic transmission option 5 speed CVT gearbox , which is better then the AGS of dzire .
FORD ASPIRE
Ford had launched the updated version of aspire in 2018 . The aspire gets updated BS6 petrol and diesel engines . The car does not get the best leg room in the segment but it is adequate enough for the passengers, but it is only best for only passengers as the cabin is not that wide enough . The boot space is also decently big . Overall the aspire has good space and is more practical choice because the fuel efficiency is staggering for petrol -17-18 km/l and diesel is 24.6 km/l .The petrol engine is 1.2-litre motor producing 96PS of power and 119 NM of torque , the performance is adequate enough , but in the middle of the rev range there is flat spot and wakes up in the top of the rev range where as diesel engine is the 1.5-litre TDCi producing 100 PS of power and 215 Nm of torque , this engine is punchy and pulls almost throughout the rev range and its very frugal as well which means we can enjoy the performance by revving the nuts of out this diesel engine without putting our pockets of fire.
The interior of the aspire is beige and neat and cleanly finished , gets 7.0 inch touchscreen infotainment system , its the most slickest to use and supports Apple car play and android auto connectivity , navigation , media etc. The aspire does not get projector headlamps, which is expected by every buyer . The car is one of the safest in the segment and gets class leading 6 airbags . It gets automatic headlamps and wipers and it is also class leading . The ford motors always nails the ride and handling balance of their cars and in this aspire as well they nailed the ride and handling balance , the ride absorbs everything in it’s strive and handling is also pin point accurate ,which means that last minute confidence is there.
