Hyundai Aura vs Maruti Dzire vs Honda Amaze vs Tata Tigor: Price, Specs & Features Compared

While SUVs dominate the Indian car market, compact sedans continue to maintain steady demand, particularly among buyers seeking comfort, value, and efficiency. The Maruti Suzuki Dzire is a consistent top performer in sales, but rivals like the Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze, and Tata Tigor also bring solid credentials to the table. Here’s how these four contenders stack up in terms of dimensions, performance, features, and pricing.

Dimensions: Which Sedan Offers More Space?

Model	Length	Width	Height	Wheelbase	Ground Clearance	Boot Space	Wheel Size
Dzire	3995 mm	1735 mm	1525 mm	2450 mm	163 mm	382 L	15-inch
Amaze	3995 mm	1695 mm	1501 mm	2470 mm	170 mm	420 L	15-inch
Aura	3995 mm	1680 mm	1520 mm	2450 mm	165 mm	402 L	15-inch
Tigor	3993 mm	1677 mm	1532 mm	2450 mm	170 mm	419 L	15-inch

Despite sharing similar lengths (all under 4 metres), each sedan brings its own strengths. The Honda Amaze offers the longest wheelbase and the largest boot, which may translate to better rear legroom and luggage space. The Tata Tigor stands tallest and offers a generous ground clearance, while the Maruti Dzire is the widest sedan in this segment.

Petrol Engine Performance: Power, Torque & Efficiency

Model	Engine	Power	Torque	Transmission	Mileage (ARAI)
Dzire	1.2L, 3-cyl NA	82 hp	113 Nm	5MT / 5AMT	24.79 / 25.71 km/l
Amaze	1.2L, 4-cyl NA	90 hp	110 Nm	5MT / CVT	18.65 / 19.46 km/l
Aura	1.2L, 4-cyl NA	83 hp	113.8 Nm	5MT / 5AMT	20.50 / 20.10 km/l
Tigor	1.2L, 3-cyl NA	86 hp	113 Nm	5MT / 5AMT	19.20 / 19.60 km/l

The Honda Amaze leads the pack in terms of peak power, but its torque is the lowest. The Hyundai Aura edges ahead in torque output, despite slightly lower power. For buyers prioritising fuel economy, the Dzire clearly shines with class-leading mileage, especially with the AMT.

CNG Variants: Performance vs Efficiency

Model	CNG Engine	Power	Torque	Transmission	Mileage (CNG)	Tank Capacity
Dzire CNG	1.2L, 3-cyl	69.75 hp	101.8 Nm	5MT	33.73 km/kg	55L
Amaze CNG	Dealer-fit	NA	NA	NA	NA	NA
Aura CNG	1.2L, 4-cyl	69 hp	95.2 Nm	5MT	28.4 km/kg	65L
Tigor CNG	1.2L, 3-cyl	75.5 hp	96.5 Nm	5MT / 5AMT	26.49 km/kg	70L

Among factory CNG offerings, the Tata Tigor delivers the highest power and is the only model with an AMT option. The Maruti Dzire CNG, however, is the most fuel-efficient. The Aura CNG sits in the middle — decent power, good torque, and the second-largest tank, but no automatic variant. The Amaze, meanwhile, only gets a dealer-level CNG fitment, and no official figures are available.

Pricing: What You Pay for Each Variant (Ex-showroom, India)

Model	Petrol-MT	Petrol-AT	CNG
Dzire	₹6.84–₹9.69 lakh	₹8.34–₹10.19 lakh	₹8.79–₹9.89 lakh
Amaze	₹8.10–₹10.00 lakh	₹9.35–₹11.20 lakh	~₹1 lakh extra (est.)
Aura	₹6.54–₹8.74 lakh	₹8.95 lakh	₹7.55–₹9.11 lakh
Tigor	₹6.00–₹8.50 lakh	₹7.35–₹8.55 lakh	₹7.80–₹9.55 lakh

If budget is your primary concern, the Tata Tigor offers the most accessible pricing across the board. The Hyundai Aura is competitively priced too and stands out as the most affordable factory CNG sedan. On the other hand, the Honda Amaze sits at the premium end of this segment, with the highest pricing for both petrol and CVT variants.

Verdict: Which Compact Sedan Makes the Most Sense?

Best for Budget Buyers: Tata Tigor (lowest starting price, CNG-AMT option)
Best for Fuel Efficiency: Maruti Dzire (both petrol and CNG)
Most Premium Option: Honda Amaze (CVT, longest wheelbase, biggest boot)
Most Well-Rounded: Hyundai Aura (refined engine, torque-rich, affordable CNG, balanced pricing)

Each compact sedan here brings a unique mix of strengths. Your choice ultimately depends on what you value more — efficiency, features, space, performance, or pricing.
