1. Engine and Driving Feel

• Honda Amaze (New): The engine is smaller and made for the city. It saves fuel and the CVT gearbox is very smooth for stop-and-go traffic.
• Toyota Yaris (Old): The engine is bigger and more powerful. Because the car is longer, it feels very stable and smooth when driving fast on the highway.

2. Safety

• Honda Amaze (New): It is very safe. It scored a fresh 5-star rating in the new Bharat NCAP test. You get 6 airbags in every model, even the cheapest one.
• Toyota Yaris (Old): For its time, it was very safe. It also got 5 stars. Some old models have 7 airbags and disc brakes on all wheels, which gives good stopping power.

3. Space and Practicality

• Honda Amaze (New): It is a small car, so it is very easy to drive in narrow lanes and crowded markets. It also sits higher, so it clears big speed bumps easily.
• Toyota Yaris (Old): It is a bigger car, so there is more space inside. The cabin feels wider and the boot is larger, good for families with lots of luggage.
